trAce
supports a number of online projects and collaborations between
writers, readers, artists and programmers. Some projects are time-limited
and some ongoing, and much of this activity occurs inside the
online Community.
Creative projects may be exclusive to trAce or run as part of
a Festival, larger project or writing class. We are always interested
in hearing ideas for new projects and if your suggestion is promising
we may provide you with space to develop it. (See also Studios)
Watch
the front page for news of new and forthcoming projects. Each
activity includes its own information on how you can contribute.
We are currently inviting participation in:
M
is for Nottingham?
Our interactive collaborative mystery Web drama, M is for Nottingham?,
was created by Marjorie Luesebrink, as part of the Incubation2
conference. This project combines collaborative webwriting with
a mystery game, an introduction to the history and sights of Nottingham,
and a live drama. It all takes place in the lead up to, and during,
Incubation. Writers come together at the collaborative website
to create a persona, find clues on the Web and in the virtual
haunts of Nottingham, and write segments of the mystery story.
Home
We invite you to contribute your own memories and imaginings
of Home: the sound of it, the scent of it, the feel of it, the
taste of it. The place where *you* go for rest, refuge and satisfaction.
The site is designed as a series of questions to help focus your
thoughts - please answer as few or as many as you wish. Your responses
will be added to the collection immediately, and you can also
read the contributions of others. Together we are building a Home
Page with a difference.
News
You are welcome to suggest
items of news and announcements for our News
section.
Sound Experiments
Here you can hear other trAce members' messages, read
poetry or answer queries on our sound-based community message
board. All you need is a microphone.
Kids'
Castle
Created for kids from Mark Burgess and Philip Ardagh. A virtual
medieval castle based on Nottingham Castle in 1480. Kids can explore
the Great Hall, the Tournament, the Chapel, and more - visit Sir
Dylan in the Dungeon and help him to escape. They can read about
the inhabitants and their lives, play games and contribute writing
and pictures to the castle's galleries. (Opened October 1999:
currently closed to some contributions and gradually reopening
during 2002)
Monster Motel
Dare you enter? Created for kids by Mark Burgess, now with over
2000 monsters, stories and peoms submitted by children all over
the world. Still open for kids to contribute their own monsters.
(Opened January 1998)
