Welcome to
The Global Campfire!
Since the dawn of time, humans have entertained themselves and each
other around the tribal campfire by telling and retelling stories. Some
of these stories became legends which live on to this day. From here, you
are invited to take part in this ritual that is as old as humanity itself.
YOU can be a part of the next generation of story-tellers,
and maybe your story will become a legend too!
You are now standing in front of the Global Campfire. Around you are
gathered the many peoples of the world. Each is as unique and different
as you are, yet all have gathered in this place for the same reason --
to share in the storytelling.
Each person who comes here has the right to try to add their part to
the great Stories of Humanity. Every person can read what the those who
have gone before them have written. As part of the Global Community, each
person is expected to be respectful of every other person. Everyone's part
is as important as everyone else's. Take your turn with dignity, knowing
that your story is precious to the world.
The tradition is simple:
- Read one of the stories that interests you.
- Add the next part of the story.
- Check back later to see if your contribution has been added to the
story.
Note: The Global Campfire is no longer
accepting submissions. Thanks to all who have contributed!
What is your pleasure today?
