Wow. At first I was like

but as I read it, I began to think how really unique and interesting the concept is.

Great post

Isn't it a great concept? I love that the story will only be published on the skin and that so many people will be involved. I love people who think like that.

Someone explain how this works please

Well here is a short description cut and pasted from her website:

Writer Shelley Jackson invites participants in a new work entitled "Skin." Each participant must agree to have one word of the story tattooed upon his or her body. The text will be published nowhere else, and the author will not permit it to be summarized, quoted, described, set to music, or adapted for film, theater, television or any other medium. The full text will be known only to participants, who may, but need not choose to establish communication with one another.

So basically, you can apply to be a part of the project and the story will be published ON your skin and you will get a copy.
