A njumber of years ago I created "Robin". The title said it all. a "Round Robin" story, written by aiuthors who do not collaborate, but who pick up the baton from the previous author and move the plot froward according to some very limited rules on style and characterisation.

David, the Nifty Archivist said to me "Thsi will fail". He and I are pleased that it has not failed. But I am at a point where I have no author for the next chapter. Nor the one after that. Do I have a volunteer?

Ditto that, I am not exactly the most motivated writer here, but I would like to contribute if I get around to it.

The thing is to take a chapter means to commit to take the chapter.

I'm up to the start of Chapter 6 of Robin. Maybe by the time I've finished the current chapters, I'll know what else might be there and can think up an idea.
