The interactive story and poem writing website

TheNeverEndingStory version 2 set to launch with the start of a new story written by Lord Jeffrey Archer!

Version 2 of TheNeverEndingStory site is set to launch within the next few weeks, and with it you'll see some great new functions and sections.

But as exciting as this is the news that internationally recognised best selling author Lord Jeffrey Archer has written the start of a story for the site!

Famous for classic books including Kane and Abel, Lord Archer's start of a story is set to get tongues wagging with it's focus on the story of a daughter and her father - a male chauvinist pig who believes a women's place is in the kitchen!

Like all stories and poems on TheNeverEndingStory it will be members who add to this page and take the story in any direction they like. If you're not a member sign up now here!

Lord Archer's story will be 'launched' at the same time as we unveil version 2 of the site - around the middle of August.

Keep checking this blog, and the site's forums, for the latest information.

More interactivity for TheNeverEndingStory site members

Hi All - I can now announce more details of the major improvements planned for TheNeverEndingStory - the interactive constantly evolving books website.

Within the next 5 to 6 weeks, a completely redesigned homepage is to go live which will make it much easier to go to the site's different sections and go straight to the stories you love. In addition, the best stories will be highlighted each day on the homepage complete with the photo and/or name of the latest site members who have added to them.

New interactive features are also soon to be launched which will give site members unique features and functions that will enable them to take part in the site even more! Details of these are to be released soon.

More famous authors and celebrities are also being approached to write the start of new stories for the site - we hope to release some celebrity names soon!

As always, we welcome members and visitors feedback and comments on the site. All suggestions will help make TheNeverEndingStory the number 1 community-focused books website on the net!

Volume 2's of Classic books start on TheNeverEndingStory

I am delighted to report that users of TheNeverEndingStory site are beginning to write the start of volme 2's of the classic books we feature on the site.

So far first pages have been written for volume 2's of Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice and Moby Dick, and I've had a bash at writing the first page of Romeo and Juliet myself!

The quality of the writing (besides my own!) is amazingly good with some site uers choosing to set 'their' volume 2 in the present and some choosing to set them in the same time as the original story.

If the same standard continues we'll almost certainly produce great books that can be published!

One month into TheNeverEndingStory

Hi Everyone

Well TheNeverEndingStory has been live now for just over a month, and so far the reaction to it has been great.

We've had over 10,000 visitors to the site and had hundreds of people sign up as members of our story and books community.

If you haven't visited the site yet, please go to www.theneverendingstory.co.uk to see what all the fuss is about.

Hope to see you on the site soon!

Thanks Everyone!

Well what a week in the life of TheNeverEndingStory.co.uk! We have been on a real rollercoaster of a ride!

Firstly, the high: the response to the site has been fantastic with people signing up from all over the world and traffic numbers being far higher than we anticipated in the first week. Needless to say this has created a huge amount of excitement and pleasure in the fact that so many people are interested in the site and get the concept.

Also people have been creating links on their sites/blogs to TheNeverEndingStory - a huge thank you to Limahl and his loyal fans from Germany, the Blockheads and their fans, Jen Robinson, Alex Tew, and Richard and Andrea at UK Authors.

And then the downs! We discovered several glitches in the site and we had several frantic days trying to find where the problems actually were. Hopefully most of these are resolved now and we have our first few submissions on the site.

Thanks in particular to Garry Whittaker of Whittaker Moore Associates for once again being a life-saver!

E-revolution for book lovers launches!

OK we're finally there! TheNeverEndingStory.co.uk - the Internet's first interactive constantly evolving books website launches tomorrow (Sunday 2nd April - the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen).
