=Welcome to Uni High School's collaborative story!=

Description:
This is a story authored solely by Uni High School students. The way it works is simple: one person begins the story, another picks up where they left off, and so on! All Uni High students are welcome to join in the project. It doesn't matter if you are new to writing or if you are an experienced author. If you would like to collaborate on this story, click "Join" at the top right corner of the page. Your request should be processed within a day or so, but it might help if you come into the library and let us know that you want to join!

Instructions, Rules, Tips, etc.

 * **Write in a separate document and save often**. If more than one person is editing a wikispaces page at the same time it is possible for some or all of the edits to be lost. To battle this problem, it is advised that you compose your writing in a separate program (preferably something without formatting such as Notepad or Google Documents) and then paste your writing into the wiki. This way you can save your writing on your own computer in case something goes wrong while adding it to the collaborative story.
 * **Respect others' writing.** Don't change or edit any writing that other people have added to the story. You may not like a turn the story has taken, but that is part of writing collaboratively. If you want to control every plot twist, maybe you should write your own story! Think of plot obstacles that others may create as a chance to use creativity to continue the story.
 * **How to add to the story:**
 * Read the story as far as it has been written. Make sure to check for writing in the next chapter! (See links on left side of wiki.)
 * Write the next segment of the story in a separate program. Your segment can be as long or as short as you want it to be.
 * Click "EDIT" and paste your segment into the story after the last segment that was added. Then remember to hit "Save" before you leave!
 * You may start a new chapter at any point that you feel is appropriate. Click "New Page" on the left side of the wiki and title the page "Chapter [#]."
 * Add your name to the Authors page.
 * **Problems, questions, etc.** Contact Julia in the library or e-mail her: JLBURNS1[at]illinois.edu
