An Exquisite Tomarrymort Corpse 2024

by ExquisiteTomarrymortCorpse

Summary:

An Exquisite Corpse is a game in which each participant adds to a fanfiction in sequence by only being allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed.

Within these chapters is the story of a lifetime: a collection of 21 artists’ and writers' works spanning almost a year, seamlessly stitched together to create an exquisite tomarrymort corpse. These participants had no idea what the writer/artist before them made, and they still don't until they see this post.

If the artists and writers could not communicate their full plots, storyboards, and images, how did they make a coherent story...? Well, they probably didn’t, but there's only one way to find out...

Hello everyone! Not going to say too much here as we've got a whole intro to cover, but I do want to give a huge shoutout to the exquisite tomarrymort corpse discord server.

Without them - this event wouldn't have been even half the fun it ended up being. Getting to know all of these talented writers and artists has been such a pleasure (and a privilege!!), and they were the beating heart of every step of the process. Thank you, everyone, for all your hard work and love.

Chapter 1: intro

Hey, welcome to the Exquisite Tomarrymort Corpse. It's been a long time coming.

 

This collaborative fanfiction project began on April 1, 2024, and finally came to fruition on January 20, 2025. The journey to this moment has been a testament to the creativity, dedication, and community spirit of every participant involved. And, my gods, it's been an absolute delight.

It was explained in the summary, but for those who live fast and loose, an Exquisite Corpse is a game in which each participant adds to a fanfiction in sequence by only being allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed. This format gave way to an unpredictable narrative filled with twists, surprises, total disregard of previous information, and moments of pure magic. Each writer and artist who participated in this project poured their heart and soul into their contributions, working within a tight two-week deadline to craft their chapters.

The result is this masterpiece that showcases the diverse voices and styles of these participants in our community!

To everyone who has contributed—your hard work, passion, and creativity have made this project a reality. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. To our readers—we hope you enjoy this one-of-a-kind adventure as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Let’s dive into the Exquisite Tomarrymort Corpse and see where this unpredictable tale takes us!
