Collab
Collaborate with other VIP members to build a unique shared published work.
Collaborative Writing Guidelines
- Using the prompt and image below, imagine your ideas.
- Each VIP member can participate, adding their own creative snippets to the story.
- Each snippet entry should be around 5 – 30 words.
- Snippet entries that are more than 30 words may be edited, truncated, or deleted.
- Each VIP member may continue to write and submit short snippet entries until the countdown ends, or we reach around 350 words.
- The Voice Club team will moderate the story in real time, with any necessary adjustments.
- Any minor writing mistakes we find will be edited and corrected in real time.
- If we find major writing mistakes, that snippet may be completely removed.
- We’ll keep the collab story alive until the countdown ends, or we reach around 350 words.
Finally, the Voice team will curate each entry, edit writing errors, and publish the final story via our selected AI voice.
Each VIP member will receive shared credit for their work, and the final publication will be added to the VIP playlist of each author that participates!

Story
Each snippet entry in the table below will be combined to create the final story!
Name | Entry | Entry Date |
---|---|---|
Susan | Lizzie watched the bottle splash down; the shadows began to dissipate. Soon on a distant island a young girl saw a corked bottle half-buried in the warm sand. | 2024.08.13 07:13 AM |
Julie | Lizzie suddenly remembered that most stories with three wishes ended badly. "No! I won't be part of this!" She picked up the bottle and hurled it back into the water. | 2024.08.13 05:14 AM |
Margarida | With foreboding, she looked out to sea. To her horror the shadow had been joined by many more. Ghostly apparitions, not of this world. Time to make her wish. | 2024.08.10 12:28 PM |
Melissa | The ancient ink revealed itself, the words seemed to shift, a message that chilled her to the bone: "Beware the sea, for it carries more than just the waves." | 2024.08.09 03:04 PM |
Julie | Lizzie laughed at herself. Imagining a Jinn had eased her fears, postponed the moment of discovery. But now it was time. She carefully unfurled the parchment, and began to read. | 2024.08.07 09:37 AM |
Chris | As she hypnotically removed the cork, a Jinn materialized and roared, "I will grant you three wishes!" Lizzie asked, "What do you want in return?" The Jinn replied, "Your soul..." | 2024.08.05 09:53 AM |
Deborah | In the horizon, a shadow like no other appeared. Lizzie became unhinged. | 2024.08.05 07:12 AM |
Julie | She suddenly trembled with foreboding. ""Throw it back!" her instincts cautioned. But she was already tilting the blue-tinged glass, mesmerized by flashing silver and a myriad of colors. A ring? | 2024.08.05 06:29 AM |
Susan | As she began wriggling the cork, two things happened simultaneously. Lizzie’s eyes caught a glimpse of sparkle within the bottle and her ears heard the warning cry of a songbird. | 2024.08.04 03:13 PM |
Carrie | Lizzie glanced around, noting that other than herself, the beach was completely deserted. She sank cross-legged to the sand, fingers poised to ease out the cork. | 2024.08.04 02:08 PM |
Linda | Her curiosity aroused, she carefully dislodged the bottle, brushing away the sand, completely unaware of the secrets it held. | 2024.08.04 01:51 PM |
Regina | On her morning walk, Lizzie saw it half-buried in the warm sand. The corked bottle seemed to glow in the early light, as if its contents called to her. | 2024.08.04 01:11 PM |
Carrie | It had bobbed in the ocean waves for years, sucked along by the current until it washed up on the golden sands. | 2024.08.04 11:56 AM |
