“The Drifting Isle Chronicles”

A few days ago I stumbled on a promising new shared universe project being led by Joseph Robert Lewis, a prolific self-published author.

The project is called “The Drifting Isle Chronicles,” and while it’s technically not a shared story world (Joseph is working with a small group of authors and is not accepting outside submissions), I was taken with Joseph’s enthusiasm and just-do-it attitude about tackling the challenge of collaborative worldbuilding. Plus, many of the challenges of shared universes apply to shared story worlds.
