The Portland Fiction Project is a short fiction writing group in Portland, Oregon. It was established in 2006. They provide readers with free, original fiction via their website PortlandFiction.net The group experiments with the idea of writing as both a collaborative and individual effort. They do this by employing methods of improvisation as well as a strong group structure. Each week, writers from The Portland Fiction Project are given a single suggestion. Over the course of a week, the individual writers then create single short stories. The group meets and workshops the stories which almost always contain thematic, sensory and circumstantial commonalities. The origin of these commonalities is unknown. Sometimes they come in the shape of strange coincidences. For example if the suggestion was "apple", two writers may both unwittingly write stories with a main character who is a priest. This could be said to be rooted in coincidence - if not for the constant, various and unlikely shapes these recurring commonalities take. Each piece has a distinct beginning and an end. Each has a single author solely responsible for the content. However, each is also a branch of the bigger project. Each story is part of the group's dealing with a particular concept.
