Wil McCarthy's Science Wiktion is an experiment in collaborative fiction. Basically, I was in the middle of some promising writing projects when I accidentally co-founded a successful nanotech company and was forced to cut way back on fiction writing due to lack of time and energy. Fiduciary duty requires that I give my full attention to company matters, and minimize outside distractions. So, rather than simply abandoning these projects, or back-burnering them until they've lost all relevance, I've decided to throw them open to mass collaboration. What the heck?
