If you are looking for a community that is focused on good writing, check out Storyline (http://storyline.io). I designed it so that it is ultra easy to start and continue stories. Plus you can earn karma on the website by writing well ;P

I am the lead programmer for a project called Fablelane where people contribute small segments to a story. One segment can have multiple outcomes, so a tree of choices is formed.

People so far think it's quite fun. You may enjoy it too!

There is a Facebook group called Indie Writers Unite which has an ongoing thread that is attempting to do this. So far I believe they have about seven chapters completed in a fantasy novel. One person will write a chapter and then it gets handed off to the next person to write the next chapter. Last I saw they were looking for people to help contribute to this.

Since it hasn't been mentioned as an answer to this relatively old question: Pan Historia is a casual and fun place to collaborate on writing. The community is quite supportive, although the turnover seems high.

The largest communities I found are Storymash and Protagonize. The Wikipedia article on collaborative fiction mentions some other sites, too.

There's a Yahoo group, now apparently inactive, at groups.yahoo.com/group/rr-storybook/ that was set up for round robin stories. The last hint of activity seems to be around 2006.

If nothing else, you can look at what we wrote, and how it seemed to work. The files seem to be outside the members-only area. I don't know if there's any group administrator who could get it going again.

You could start your own wiki - if you need hosting, there are plenty of resources available for cheap/free wiki hosting (PBWorks comes to mind.); you could use any of the browser-based shared document editing tools (Google Docs, Zimbra, Zoho); collaborative editing software (see this Wikipedia article for some examples).
