Twitter Novel

What is Twitter Novel?


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.

2.

A message or anecdote that spans several successive tweets, each individual tweet akin to a page of a book.

A bitch to read, and even more so to type out, especially if its an @reply

B: Yeah, what's the point with this stupid 140 character shit anyway?
