I'd like to try a jam session once.  This is how I'd like to do it:

1. See who's interested.
2. Decide on a subject.  Decide on a writing style.  (i.e. Third-person 
past-tense)
3. Decide on a writing order.
4. The first writer writes his chapter and emails it to the next, who 
adds his bit and emails it to the next and so on.  For an added 
challenge, the last writer should be the same as the first, since he 
didn't have to deal with anything anyone else had written.
5. When it's all done, post it for all to see!

Let me know if you're interested.  I have a Ranma 1/2 idea I'd love to 
throw out as the first chapter.  Of course, that would mean I'd have to 
finish it, but I'm game.  :-)

I'll do it.  I think whoever starts it SHOULD finish it, because whoever 
that bastard was, he's the one who stuck us with it.

This is more on the lines of what I was thinking to start with.  What you 
posted earlier was cute (i.e. the Shampoo storyline), but there were some 
points where lazy people just threw in a line or two and just totally 
warped the story line (i.e., that "ego kicking in" business "ha, let me 
decide the whole continuation of the story, with one silly sentence").
