Stumbled upon via the NaNoWrimo blog:

Writer Mark Putnam is basing his currently -in-progress novel on the results of this Plotastic ballot! survey he took earlier this summer via the online survey tool questionpro. One of the free WordPress survey plugins out there could be one way around Writer’s block come National Novel Writing Month.

206 people complete the survey, thus, according to their mandates, Mark will be writing about a physics professor with an unrivaled mental inventory of trivial knowledge (only 43 particpants voted for the protagonist to have a complete lack of tact while 49 wanted him to display total disregard for his own safety) who grew up in a series of RV parks along the west coast, has no depth perception, and is out to bust up some big conspiracy.

I can’t wait for the result, which I’m hoping follow the online trend and is posted somewhere with a Creative Commons fair use license. Harper-Collins is probably going to demand all its writers do this from here on out if it’s a hit, I’m sure.
