The Picture's Story is a wonderful project started by Katie Garcia and Matthias Schricker! Ha ha. In truth, it was born from a bout of late night craziness. Matthias, (or Thias), mused of a sort of game in which he could invent to new people to meet! Not that real people are so terrible to meet, but this would be different. The limits were none, the stories - full of potential! And thus the "Picture-Stories" game was born. Two can play, three or more can play! (We've only done two though.) Person One submits a picture of someone that they know. Person Two must then come up with 1) a name for that person and 2) a story for that person. The stories must be kind, if not delightful. Sad stories are alright, but they have to have a reason for being sad. Mean stories are not tolerated.
On the first night of playing, Katie and Thias wrote many wonderful little tales. But then another idea emerged: The stories were so fun, they HAD to be shared! Over the course of the next day Thias worked on developing a collaborative version of "Picture-Stories." The Picture's Story was born. What if we could submit photos that everyone could tell stories about? What if we could play games of "Picture-Stories" and submit them? What if we could do all of the above and even more as it came to us? Things like developing characters and worlds, interweaving them, following the characters, developing longer-stories, etc. What if? Who knows! But lets find out together. Here's to the stories, to the people, and to the worlds that we will create! Dream dreams.
