Twitter Novel Edit Meaning

1.

Based on the Japanese form of keitai shosetsu, or "cell phone novel", a twitter novel is the newest form of serialised fiction on the interwebs. The 140-character limited format and method of reading bottom-to-top offers great opportunities for experimentation within the novel form and makes the reader pay more attention than they would with straight-ahead dead treefiction.

dr.benway13: i know! what a mind fuck!
