@thaumatropeVia @Danacea (Danie Ware) this morning, a link to a new twitter fiction feed: @thaumatrope, edited by Nathan E. Lilly of GreenTentacles.com.

I'm hugely intrigued by the concept of TwitterFiction; flash-fiction taken to an imposed extreme. Is it really possible, within Twitter's 140 character limit, to effectively convey a sense of story, or portray anything more than a vague sketch of a character, or present a descriptive vignette in anything other than the sketchiest outline?

If you're likewise interested in finding out, then there are probably plenty more TwitFic feeds out there, but @thaumatrope might be a good place to start.

    There have been twitter fiction feeds before - but they've been focused, serialised stories: @manyvoices, @twittilate, @billionmonkeys (serialising Shakespeare) and @TwitStorybook.

    I'm intrigued by @Thaumatrope - it's an ambitious project to fit into a tight space and I'm looking forward to seeing how it spins...

    ...and how many others will follow now Mister Lilly has set the yardstick!

    I also got allerted to this site by Danacea. Much intrigued by this concept and couldn't help submitting a story to it. Writing short stories has become an addiction to me. This might just be the quick fix I need ;-)
