== [[Comic Books]] ==
* ''[[DC Challenge]]'' is a rare comic book example where each issue had a different author except the final one. Each part ended with at least one [[Cliff Hanger]] and usually several, which the next writer had to figure out how to resolve.
* ''[http://piecesbooks.com/ Project Pieces]'' is an attempt to create a publishable comic where each panel is drawn by someone else. Within just a few pages it degenerated into a [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|nonsensical stream-of-consciousness.]]
* The ''[[She Hulk]]'' story ''The Time of Her Life'' was a very interesting artistic
* Done accidentally to the tune of [[Epic Fail]] in ''[[Countdown to Final Crisis]]'', because the writers and editors apparently couldn't be bothered to look at the preceding issues to keep track of the continuity. The art reflects this as well, not just in the [[Art Shift]] as the thing was handed from one creative team to the next, but in blatant [[Did Not Do the Research]] such as the incident where [[The Flash|the Pied Piper and Trickster]] fell out of a futuristic plane at sunset at the end of one issue, only for the beginning of the next issue to depict them falling out of a regular jet in the clear blue afternoon. Methinks the series would have been far more enjoyable if it really ''had'' been a giant crack-filled bit of fun on the writers's part.
* ''[[Brand New Day]]'' was this for ''[[Spider-Man]]'' with writers changing for each story or even during the same story and one issue even has three writers, one

** ''[[No Tendo]]'' is an example of a fic originally written on the Addventure. Although later revised into a more traditional format, its roots as a round robin are fairly obvious.
* [[CAPOW]] [http://capow.tripod.com (Creative Anime Prose Original Writing]{{Dead link}}; see the link for more details.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20090412185553/http://www.grit-page.net/ The Global Ranma Insanity Thread], a combination round robin and text-based roleplay (with, effectively, everybody acting as the Gamemaster) that started on the rec.arts.anime.misc newsgroup and has since migrated to a mailing list.
* [http://www.improfanfic.com/ Improfanfic], which involves signups and deadlines to help keep the story moving along at a reasonable pace; unfortunately, this doesn't always work and many stories have since just ground to a halt after the signups withered away.
** It was reasonably successful for a few years, enough to have [[Spin Offs]], such as [http://indiemadnesse.sandwich.net Indie Madnesse], but all these sites faced the same problems.
** ''[[Dark Heart High]]'' and ''[[Magical Girl Hunters]]'' are two examples of Improfanfic series.
* ''[[The Renegades]]'' is a [[Kingdom Hearts]] fic that has three people writing its chapters in a circular fashion, as well as special excerpts written by all of the authors or a one-off chapter written out of turn, which all eventually connect to the main storyline.
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20070503034217/http://forum.boomansion.net/index.php?showtopic=430 Thwomp goes to the Chocolate Factory]'', shared between three Brits, is a particularly hilarious example. It begins with a [[Super Mario Bros.|Thwomp]] attempting suicide due to boredom at his job as manager of the titular factory, and just gets weirder from there.

* ''[[Sorcery and Cecelia]]'' combines the Round Robin with the [[Epistolary Novel]].

* ''[[Black Trillium]]'' was written by [[Andre Norton]], [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]] and Julian May in this fashion: each of them wrote chapters about her respective heroine ([[Lady of War|Kadya]], [[Badass Bookworm|Haramis]], and [[Princess Classic|Anigel]], accordingly), which were then compiled and edited into a single novel. However, the collaboration proved so stressful for all of them that they continued writing in the same universe independently, effectively creating three different continuities after ''BT''.
* ''[[Atlanta Nights]]'', which was specifically written an enormous, [[Plot Hole]]-ridden mess.
* ''The Floating Admiral'', a
* ''The cruise : a novel of murder and romance'' was a collaborative effort with many famous (and infamous) British authors including [[Maeve Binchy]].
* ''Behind the Screen'' is a short story written by several mystery fiction writers, including [[Agatha Christie]], [[Dorothy L. Sayers]] and Hugh Walpole.
* Much of the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] works out to be this, but with entire books and even trilogies; there are many writers who often go in completely different directions.
** The Bantam Era actually defied this trope to an extent. Authors usually stayed on for the entire series, and many were standalone novels. [[Legacy of the Force]] suffers from this in a huge way, partly because it was nine books, essentially three trilogies, and all three authors were writing independently at the same time. So, there would be stuff in Book 1 directly contradicted in Book 2. Naturally, pet characters were abound, but rarely saw a huge role in the other two authors's work

* ''Dash & Lily's Book of Dares'' was alternately written by a husband and wife over e-mail. Notably, [[Invoked Trope|this fits with the theme within the actual book,]] seeing as the titular Dash and Lily communicated by writing in the same journal one after the other.

* In a way, virtually every TV show ever follows this. After all, the individual episodes in a [[Story Arc]] are typically penned by different writers. Examples are obviously too numerous to list.
** The difference is, most showrunners have a preplanned outline for the season, or perhaps the whole series, which the staff writers must follow. Often the storylines for individual episodes are written by the showrunner or the staff, the credited writer cranks out a draft in teleplay format, and the scripts are then revised once again by the showrunner and staff.
* The ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' game "Three-Headed Broadway Star" featured the players making up a "hit Broadway love song"
** They had more games like these, for instance the Irish Drinking Song.

* "El cadaver exquisito" and "El muertito sabrosón" two projects hosted at http://produccionesbalazo.com/ , 19 different authors in the both of them, only Spanish but still worth to check.
* The [http://www.centerstorm.net/ Centerstorm] project, which split off from the old "Fan Art Headquarters" (now a defunct site) Impromanga project; it hosts all of the FAHQ's legacy comics and a number of new titles.
* The [https://web.archive.org/web/20131208175038/http://tangcomic.com/doji/doji.html Doji] project, inspired by the host site's [https://web.archive.org/web/20100609203848/http://tangcomic.com/mom/mom_past.html Monthly Online Manga] that gave artists a topic to draw a short comic about each month.
* The [https://web.archive.org/web/20100612040115/http://user.drunkduck.com/maxine Multi-Artist Exchange] improvisational comics, which after some experimentation locked in the artists drawing for each other, and open discussion of where to take the plot is heavily encouraged.
* The school year starts at [https://web.archive.org/web/20090221004422/http://www.wcihigh.com/?p=56 WCI High], a collaborative effort by several members of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20100127150545/http://webcomicsinc.ning.com/ Webcomics Inc.] social network site. The artists have their various characters attend high school together. Normally runs September through May, taking a hiatus during the summer (well, it ''is'' high school). Originally stand-alone stories, it started including more and more [[Crossover]] events, including the big [[High School Dance|"Sadie Hawkins Dance"]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100620191339/http://www.wcihigh.com/?p=282 storyline].

* There existed a webcomic called ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130617101342/http://www.drunkduck.com/Troop_37/ Troop 37]''. The premise was that a boy scout named Jimmy is one morning [[Transformation Comic|turned into a]] [[Overnight Age-Up|teenage]] [[Gender Bender|girl.]] A few pages were made by one author, establishing his close friends and family, and then a reader would each call shotgun on drawing the next page of the progressing story of Jimmy's misadventures. The problem was that the artists kept taking a long time to produce the pages. Eventually interest petered out, and the story wound down to an unofficial end.
