Tradition definition: "a series of persons relieving one another or taking turns." The term 'relay' can be applied to
shift work.
In some message-board communities
on-line a relay can also be a reference to a game such as a use of the infamous 'Word Association'. It's also used to refer to a fictional story written by multiple writers who
take it in turns to add their own chapter; typically concentrating on their own specific character.
Relay

A multi-author story written on an online forum, through e-mail, or through the post. The story is written chapter by chapter (
give or take) by the individual
authors, each adding their own plot additions and twists.
The authors have control over ALL the characters as well as the power to direct the flow of
the plot.
Example:
"Did you see what
DW wrote for
the relay?"
"Yeah. I can't believe he killed off the emporor."
