Penguin plans 'wiki-novel'

Can creative writers put their egos to one side and work successfully as a team? That's the question Penguin and De Montfort University are exploring with a new literary experiment - a collaborative wiki-novel.
Based on the principles of Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, the novel, called A Million Penguins, is open to anyone to join in, write and edit. None of the words, characters or plot twists will be attributed to any individual and - and this is the element of the project most likely to bruise delicate egos - participants are free to edit, chop and change other writers' work.
