"First truly crowd sourced novel"? What about Naked Came The Stranger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_Came_the_Stranger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_Came_the_Stranger)? and the other, earlier efforts, cited by the article. Crowd sourced narrative always reminds me of the telephone game we played as kids (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_whispers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_whispers) because the story line always seems to diverge and disappear. That's a problem when there is a single author but it is worse when there are multiple independent contributors.
