Let's start with the basics, shall we? Now "round robin" is a term you probably know well but "a la chainmail" is probably what has you baffled. For starters it's "a la" as in "in the style of" and "chainmail" isn't that 'send this to five people or die!' sort of deal. Chainmail is a book, its full title being; 'Chain Mail --Addicted to You--'. If you're interested in picking it up it's by Hiroshi Ishizaki. This novel features four characters who through the great internets get together to 'create a fictional world'. Their fictional world is reminiscent of a round robin story, only with notably more specification to the characters in the plot. In this style one doesn't quite completely make their character but instead takes a vague idea and makes it into something more complex. I'm hoping for people to stick with this story and see it through until the end. If you don't I might have to take a leaf from a certain character's book and take care of things. :3

So let's create our fictional world. Are you ready?

The plot centers around four people and the aftermath of the actions of a boy and girl. For whatever reason (one that their writers will provide) they kill one of their classmates. For a while they have to keep things strait and combat wanting to tell the police what happened and just wanting to cover it up. In the end they cover it up, without telling the police. They move on and forget about things, and at first a stressful week ends, then a little more relaxed month goes by. However events are threatening to resurface because of the victim's older sister. Through some stroke of determination she has picked up the case of this murder and is set on solving it, with what little evidence she can find. The final character in this tango of tragedy is a character who feels that they are physic, however they have no ability at all (or maybe tiny abilities, up to their writer). With their self-claimed ability he feels that they can talk to the spirit of the dead child and thus convince the detective on the case to let them help. However he doesn't know what to do with the actual trust and confidence the detective has put into him and meanwhile the two children find they might just have to come to terms with what they did.
