you heard it here first, folks. twitter is 2007's first web 2.0 breakout hit. as my semester ends, and my thoughts turn to fanfic, it's inevitable that I cook up some new absurd project. that's right, inspired by twitterfiction, I've created a twitter for tiny, tiny fanfic. this endeavor is request-based, so here it is, memeified:

Comment with a character or pairing, using an icon you'd like me to take as a prompt, and I'll reply with a nanofic of less than 140 characters. You can post as many requests as you like, but please make each in a separate comment.

Leaving a prompt incurs no obligation to participate yourself, but you're more than welcome to repost this if you so choose! Moreover, if you'd like to get your comment-responses onto twitter, you can:
a) email them to twitterfiction (twitterfiction[at]gmail.com)
b) start your own fanfictwitter! if you let projectjulie know, your entries can then appear in the collected feed: twitterfic
Formatting: when posting on twitter, precede your entry with the tag +[fandom] (e.g. "+BSG this is my story"). Note that this comes out of your 140-character allotment (sorry).

my fandoms could include any of these shows, Wicked, Harry Potter, Devil Wears Prada, probably most any movie with at least two women in it (it probably goes without saying: no boys allowed! excepting Captain Jacks). this call for prompts will remain open indefinitely, and likewise I make no promises about how quickly I'll fulfill them.

I emailed twitterfiction about this meme and haven't heard back yet. so I'm proceeding anyway -- will update if I get a yea or nay.

NB: jaiku is twitter's primary competitor. because you can include external feeds on your jaiku page, it's popular as a "lifestream" (see top user Leo Laporte or me for an example). jaiku also allows comments on individual updates and "channels" (jaikus to which multiple people can post). on the downside, jaiku currently doesn't allow you to specify a URL or other personal information -- in any case, the feature set of both these sites is likely to change/improve/converge rapidly. I'm using twitter here mostly because thus far it seems to have been more widely adopted generally/around these parts.

and after a holiday weekend of catchup, I've seen the top of my flist for the first time since, probably, february. HALLELUIA.

plus, I'm writing my remixthedrabble entries as twitter series, so I'll be indexing those here as well:

[ROUND 1] I wrote Love Yourself (The Large Sexual Database Remix) (BtVS) / trascendenza wrote me Socophilia (The Stop Motion Remix) (XF).
[ROUND 2] I wrote Caught in the Web (The Networked Remix) (X-Files+Matrix) / tinheart wrote me Inevitable (The Predestination Paradox Remix) (HP).
[ROUND 3] *skipped*
[ROUND 4] I wrote Penblwydd Hapus (The Birthday Cards Remix) (Torchwood) / trascendenza wrote me Leave This Behind (The Indivisible Remix) (BSG).

[BONUS] Four Things Laura Didn't Forget, and One She Did (BSG) for thearchive2's "microscopic" challenge.
