Welcome to Paper Doll Fiction, a playhouse for literary inspiration. I was inspired by the idea after discovering Exercises in Style by Raymond Queneau which demonstrates how to use multiple literary forms to tell a story. This led me to find 99 Ways to Tell A Story: Exercise In Style by Matt Madden, which inspired me to write my own version. I've always wanted a Wreck This Journal for writers, and this has been just as fun. After doing some of the exercises myself, I ended up creating some really cool stories just by twisting the original around by trying new ideas. If you accept the challenge, here are a few guidelines:

1) Make sure you do some research on any topic you're not familiar with, including finding examples. It will open so many doors.

2) Go in any order you like. Don't pressure yourself into trying everything if you're not feeling it. Go where you feel inspired.

3)Have lots and lots of fun! These are only exercises to help spark your imagination. Experiment, run wild and free, and don't forget to stay true to you.

To the wardrobe!
