Thanks,

Quentin Tarintino then tied in the bell hop through each of the four stories. We take an item or person and tie it in with all the short stories, thus creating "a novel"...
Let's take Percival Q. Genarro. He wants to make it big in Hollywood, but right now works as a pizza delivery boy. One day, Super Bowl Sunday, he is the only delivery boy who shows up to work. He has to deliver pizzas to Schlomo Kleinberg, one of the most respected directors who shot to fame with a film about a crazed bear attacking campers; Steve Walton, an ex-porn star known as E. Normous Richard, who is trying to clear his past by starring in Christian films; Jennifer Wright, an ex-child star/ singer who sold billions of records under the name Chastity, but fell into disgrace after she was found in a $30 an hour motel room with the twins from the Disney Channel and more drugs than Hunter S. Thompson could ever dream of; The Goldstein Brothers mansion, the hottest producers in Hollywood and so on... each author will write the story of the locale they are given and its characters, they only mention the delivery boy arriving and his interaction with them...
The "game master", the master author, will be last.. he takes the short stories and ties them in with what happens to the delivery boy from pizza run to pizza run and what happens at the pizza shop..
what are the benefits? well, since there is only one common character everybody uses, and rules are set, it may flow better.. time zones don't matter because we are just tying up loose ends, the last author only needs to get the delivery boy from house to house, the end of one chapter to the beginning of the next.. what one author does (or does not do) will not affect the story as a whole..
