Collaborative short story, anyone?

Anyone interested in writing a collaborative short story, for fun?

This used to be done in creative writing courses, and can be enjoyable and challenging.

How it works - those who want to participate put their names forward, and the first person on the list writes a few paragraphs of any work of fiction they like. They then tag the next person on the list, who picks up the storyline and adds to it, keeping it cohesive and flowing. The audience can point out plot holes if present, and the writer can correct them. This would be a complete "don't be a dick, sock puppet or troll" exercise, because wankers like that are insecure and love spoiling the fun of others.

Anybody?

"can it involve Rabbits and Carrots?"

Only if it's a dark and stormy night.
