 You can write an original audiobook story on Twitter with #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

 Meg Cabot 

Starting February 16 at Noon EST, author Meg Cabot (@megcabot) will launch a special interactive storytelling experience. She'll tweet the first line of an original tale and then the rest is up to you! Just login to your Twitter account (registration is free) to tweet your own suggested sentence to continue the tale. 

 How Does it Work?
Read the opening line of the story tweeted by Meg and follow us here @BBCAA to tweet the possible next sentence of the story (tweets must be 140 characters or less) like this:

@BBCAA Your Tweet Here #bbcawdio

We'll read all of the suggested lines and retweet the ones that best continue the story in real time. This special choose-your-own-adventure style story will also be chronicled here on our blog daily as the story unfolds with its myriad twists and turns created by YOU!

What Happens Next?
When our story winds down, we’ll edit the contributions and compile a script, then head into the studio to record and produce the audiobook. The final audiobook will be downloadable free on our website and also available as a digital download at iTunes and other audiobook retailers. (Please see our
legal release for further rules and information.)
