Write fiction on web 2.0 with twitterfiction
With twitter going on to be pretty popular, there should be several offshoots of the ‘microblogging’ site. 
Twitter fiction is one of them. Twitter Fiction is 140 characters of microfiction posted to the twitter fiction site. Wikipedia (though some do not trust the tool but most of the times I do ti) describes “microfiction or Flash fiction as fiction characterized by its extreme brevity, as measured by its length in words. While there is no universally accepted exact word limit, generally a short story is considered to constitute flash fiction if it is less than 1,000–2,000 words long, and most flash-fiction pieces are between 250 and 1,000 words long. (By contrast, “traditional” short stories range from 2,000 words to upwards of 20,000, and are mainly between 3,000 and 10,000 words long; they are distinguished from longer forms, such as the novel and novella, primarily by the intent that they be read in a single sitting.)”.
Well, Allison at Slow Burn Productions has taken the idea to an even more extreme level. He’s mixed the idea of microfiction with Twitter, to come up with Twitter Fiction. Twitter is intended for very short updates to say what you’re doing at any time, and your Twitter messages are limited to 140 characters. The post on his web site at http://slowburnproductions.wordpress.com/2007/03/12/twitter-fiction/ reads “Announcing my latest project, twitterfiction.com. Twitter Fiction is a simple use for Twitter - just send your fictional masterpiece of 140 characters or less to twitterfiction@gmail.com and it will be posted to twitter.com/twitterfiction.”
