What is it and how do I get it?

Speedfactory is a writing project/method/drive devised by McKenzie Wark and John Kinsella. Participants in Speedfactory 1 were Wark, Kinsella, Terri-ann White and Bernard Cohen. Our rules were simple: in pairs, someone emailed exactly 300 words to another. The second person had to mail exactly 300 words back within 48 hours.

Terri-ann and I will co-ordinate a superspeed, compact version of this writing game at trAce on 24th November.

We suggest a 50 word target, and a twenty-minute posting time. (Of course, we're very flexible about this.) If you are interested, please email me at [email protected] with details of your available times on the 24th November wherever you are in the world, and if possible, what those times translate into Greenwich Mean Time. We will pair you with someone on another continent. (Or, if there's someone you really want to do this with, please let me know by email.) Very close to the day,As 24th November 1999 disappears from Earth forever, please email the outcomes to me, or, if you prefer, put them up at a URL. After this, stage 2..
