Netprov isnetworked improv: networked, improvised literature. Netprovis collaborative fiction-making in available media. Netprov is role-playingin writing and images. Netprov is storytelling in real time. Netprov is agreat game for students and friends. Netprov is an emerging art form ofthe digital age.And netprov is fun. When your dog’s social media account replies toanother dog’s account, that is netprov. When you comment with a face-tious “blessed” to a friend’s hilarious humble brag, that is netprov. Whenyou contribute to the astonishing, rich fan culture of fantasy characters,drama, and backstory surrounding the seemingly simple COVID-erabaseball simulator “Blaseball,” that is netprov.1When you post on Face-book in “A group where we all pretend to be ants in an ant colony,” youare already engaged in the art of netprov. Netprov shares the same easy,creative energy as the proliferating chains of songs and dances on TikTok.Netprov is something you may do every day without realizing it. Millions do. This may all sound very high tech, but netprov is just a form of writing.I’m a creative writer. I’m a lover of older literature, especially literaturethat responded to new historical conditions with new ideas, new styles,and new forms. So as people began to write on platforms other than inkand paper, I started to see amazing pockets of creativity—of fiction—inthe most unexpected places. People would write silly reviews of productsand services, using exaggerated character voices. People would playextravagant characters in chat rooms for their friends’ amusement. Thentheir friends would respond as their own characters, and whole storieswould evolve. People would make parody websites and keep updatingthem as things went worse and worse for the fictional site owners. I foundmyself tuning in to these evolving stories regularly, waiting impatientlyfor the next installment.I started to look at a whole host of electronic writing practices, evenones that were supposedly nonfiction but were, well, fudging things a bit,exaggerating to make their narrators look better (or comically worse). Irealized how many of these new forms were just begging to be pushed alittle bit further, to be parodied, to be turned into fiction the way biogra-phies and memoirs had once been gradually “fictionized” and turned into novels.
