To launch their new premium British drama channel @BBCFirstAus, the BBC are giving fans on Twitter an Australian-first the chance to create the storyline of their own drama with writer and director @GracieOtto.
Every day this week, @GracieOtto is guest-Tweeting from @BBCFirstAus to crowdsource a dramatic narrative. Using the hashtag #WhatsNext, users can help @GracieOtto craft the twists and turns of an evolving story, written 140 characters at a time.
As fans on Twitter make suggestions in real time, @GracieOtto will introduce props and thematic inspiration to shape a coherent and compelling story.
Each following day, the latest installment will be released on @BBCFirstAus and the BBC Australia website where Twitter-contributors will be credited and can see how their Tweets have been weaved into the story.
To kick things off, @GracieOtto has developed a narrative framework with five characters. Over five days, the audience will decide each of their fates.
The complete BBC First Twitter drama will be released in its entirety online at bbcaustralia.com/whatsnext and via Twitter next week.
Follow the action at @BBCFirstAUS and get involved by Tweeting using hashtag #WhatsNext.
