We write history and you help decide

You'll find all kinds of reading material on Galaxus. But we've never served you a fairy tale before. We want to try something new and write a fictional story. But we need your help.

You know enough product reviews, portraits and reports from my colleague Carolin Teufelberger and me. But what Galaxus has never had before: a short story. We're changing that now and writing a fictitious story that will be continued week after week, chapter after chapter. Written alternately. A kind of literary ping-pong. Every Thursday for eight weeks. Carolin will start on 26 November 2020

The rules are simple:

  • No agreements between the authors regarding the storyline.
  • Work with what was published in the last chapter: That is, the
    characters and storylines introduced by the co-author will be

characters and storylines introduced by the co-author are taken up and developed further.

  • Sharp changes of direction are allowed as long as the story still makes sense
  • Each of us writes in our own style.

However, there is one catch ...

You can't just let our words wash over you. You have to get involved yourself. By voting at the end of each article. As a reader, you decide which product from a random preselection the author has to include in her sequel. A kind of mini-challenge from the Community.

At the beginning, there are even three framework conditions to define so that Carolin is not completely disorientated in the first chapter. Decide on the genre, the time in which the story is set and the product that Carolin has to integrate into the story.

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
