Paweł Zapendowski
"Shitownik paryski. Chic!owny przewodnik po powieści i Paryżu" to efekt współpracy Pawła Zapendowskiego oraz internautów z serwisu Nakanapie. Przez ponad trzy miesiące powstawała fantastyczna opowieść o Paryżu i jej mieszkańcach. A brali w niej udział między innymi: Chopin i George Sand, Jim Morrison, Roman Polański, Joanna d?Arc, wampiry, bohaterowie "Gry w klasy" Cortazara, aniołowie i demony. W kolejnych odsłonach napływały na konkurs coraz bardziej niezwykłe teksty, które potem zostały zebrane w publikację, będącą swoistym przewodnikiem po powieści "Shitownik paryski". To, co powstało wspólnym wysiłkiem Internautów i Pawła Zapendowskiego zyskało teraz nowy wymiar, podkreślony pobudzającymi wyobraźnię grafikami, zdjęciami, scenami z życia paryskiej stolicy.O czym opowiada "Shitownik paryski"? To dosyć zwariowana historia kilkorga bohaterów, którzy powstali w innym wymiarze, jako twory innych twórców, a także postaci historyczne. Jednym z głównych bohaterów jest Holy Ploter, który wyrusza w poszukiwanie swojego przeznaczenia. Mamy tu słynne mieszkanie "Lokatora" Romana Polańskiego, są znane paryskie miejsca: katedra Notre-Dame, cmentarz Pere Lachaise, ale także kanały i slumsy. To zadziwiająca opowieść o Paryżu, przepełniona fantastycznymi stworami, wampirami, walczącymi ze sobą aniołami i demonami. A nad całością czuwa starożytna klątwa, czy przepowiednia:Do Paryża w nieodległej przyszłości i w różnym czasie przyjedzie pięć osób - prawych, żądnych wiedzy i zaszczytów oraz zaopatrzonych w nieprzeciętne talenty. Osoby te pod opieką duchów dobrych i złych stworzą dzieła swego życia, w jakich zawrą przygody serca i rozumu. Oto imiona tych osób.1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...5 ... Całość można czytać niczym "Grę w klasy" - skacząc po wątkach, skojarzeniach, motywach, z bogatej fantazji twórców czerpiąc coś dla siebie. Nowego i inspirującego. Powieść fantasy "Shitownik paryski" powstawała wspólnie z internautami. W jej pisaniu wzięło udział 50 użytkowników portalu nakanapie.pl, jednego z największych serwisów czytelniczych w Polsce. W ciągu trzech miesięcy na początku 2011 na stronie serwisu pojawiło się 100 fragmentów literackich napisanych przez internautów. Większość z nich trafiła do publikacji na ebooku pt. "Shitownik paryski. Chic!owny przewodnik po powieści i Paryżu". Jest to zbiór krótkich opowiadań i zarazem barwny suplement do powieści. Publikacja zawiera sylwetki głównych bohaterów, streszczenie fabuły na tle konkretnych miejsc w Paryżu oraz wybór różnych rozwiązań fabularnych, jakie wymyślili uczestnicy zabawy. "Chic!owny przewodnik" jest ilustrowany zdjęciami z Paryża i przybliża liczne atrakcje magicznej metropolii. Najlepsze teksty internautów trafiły do powieści "Shitownik paryski".
