The Twitter Story Writing Challenge
For some, this challenge may seem like it's going to suck.

Wondering about the possible causes for delay! Too many good entries perhaps.:-)
I think it's time to give up on WeBook choosing a winner. Maybe we should just tweet a winner and send it to the admin.
I do believe that there has been a terrible misunderstanding with many webookers. This is not only about tweets. It is about writing a story in seven fragments of 140 characters. You can, (could have) had no twitter account and do this. The only reason twitter is incorporated is because it can be a good tool to connect writers and audicences.
I'm always interested in trying new ways of working with words--I'll see what I can come up with!
Twitter is great social netowrking site and have more than 200 millions accounts. The most of tweets comes from US. One can send and recieve messages from twitter to respective number of contacts. This micro blogging service is so popular among users that most of the celebritites and other pouplar persons have social accounts on Twitter.
Some Common features of Twitter are following.I will take the example of http://www.moviewatchlist.com/ to explain the features of Twitter.
Reply (@): The feature to reply to specific person or follower, simply type @ and then their name. Example @moviewatchlist
Hashtag (#): It is basically a categorization of tweets to searching content on twitter. Example #download movies #watch movies online #movies online
So take the full advantage of this great social networking tool and don't forget to follow Moviewatchlist on Twitter.

Thanks for this really unique challenge! Condensing complex thoughts, feelings or statement is a really hard thing to do (I know from experience, tweeting is part of my job). For me I was really intrigued how this would work for a story; would it be possible to generate a world you could clearly imagine, a character you connect with and emotions you could feel.
For me, this challenge was about clarity of thought, of using the words that were vital to the story and cutting the fat.
I also loved how everyone did their own interpretation, some using thoughts, other conversations between people and then simple lines of a story. I really liked how mine turned into something almost poetical in nature.
Cheers again for the challenge, I learned a lot from the experience.

I was trying to get on twitter so I could check and do tha thingy but twitter wouldnt load :( Ill have to try again tomorrow.
This is truly a challenge. First, i spend a day thinking of the story, then i write the story, and the page freezes, not saving my work. Now i am lost. Great...
Love this sort of challenge. Anything that forces you to condense a story into the tightest form possible is great. Twitter isn't the most traditional format for flash fiction, but I think it's fun to experiment.

All feedback is, of course, appreciated.

Twitter is a website, owned and operated by Twitter Inc., which offers a social networking and microblogging service, enabling its users to send and read messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user's profile page.
The website is based in San Francisco, California. Twitter also has servers and offices in San Antonio, Texas; and Boston, Massachusetts. Twitter, Inc. was originally incorporated in California, but as of 2007 is incorporated in the jurisdiction of Delaware.
Twitter is really great and I've been a member for almost 3 yrs so I found it great to connect with friends, post tweets even there's a limit. But hey! this what I've found and I would like to share it to anybody http://remedyforcysticacne.com/

This was a lot of fun! A great exercise in flash fiction and an edifying education about Twitter! I still don't understand why names include an "@" symbol in front of them, but the compressed links are pretty nice.
Thanks all for the feedback on "Ordinary Perversion." I had a blast writing it!

I enjoyed this challenge!! Loved the idea on the whole twitter thing. Nice twist! I hope you guys like mine. I think I did it right. . . if not, then I hope you guys can find it!
I also have some advice for the whole shebang here. The twitter updates go in order from most recent to least recent (top to bottom) so make sure you don't just copy and paste it onto here. You'd ruin the ending for everyone! ;)
Please comment on my entry, I'd love to have some feedback. I get on every day! If you wanna comment just put my Pen name before your comment and I'll read it and absorb it like a sponge! Thanks again!

I'm not really sure exactly how they want us to submit the story lol, so here's my twitter page I guess. http://twitter.com/#!/TimMunnerlyn
Phone photo makes for the perfect ending to the story. How did you make your link active?
I decided to change the alien theme to something more juicy, I hope you all likey. :)
A question to WeBook re this challenge to help people.
The normal progression of tweets chronologically is after its timestamped predecessor, in other words bottom to top. This means you see the latest tweet first.
This is OK for tweets, but if people unfold a story in this challenge, they will get to see the ending before they get to know the beginning, because people read from top to bottom.
My suggestion is that people time-stamp their tweets from top (oldest) to bottom (most recent), that way people start at the beginning and end at the last tweet in an acceptable order for a storyline set of tweets.
