I had never considered it like that, but after reading your comment that's exactly it. Nicely done.<br /><br />I don't know if Twitter will ever create the next Great American Novel. Maybe, maybe not. It's a great way to release your work, and I have heard of authors who became famous after posting on social media accounts. <br />Some authors have released their entire series on Twitter: http://www.thefrenchrev.com/<br /><br />There are websites to help people sell books, promote works on Twitter, though the ones I read seemed like a guide to online networking as opposed to actually releasing work.<br /><br />This author states that Twitter simply does not sell books. But authors can still use twitter to sell themselves and get to where they want to be. It's a stepping stone, or one more way to hopefully get there you want to be: http://thewritelife.com/why-writers-should-love-twitter-hint-its-not-just-about-selling-books/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863094577213250343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-394751201869491915.post-27671070410050062512016-02-02T12:06:32.216-08:002016-02-02T12:06:32.216-08:00It's all solved with the end of capitalism.

Is it a platform to getting paid for other things (like an internship of sorts?) or should part of the business model include payment for the number of people who read/follow you? What would you like to see?

The Twitter literature reader is left to aggregate and de-code, thereby creating their own meaning. <br /><br />Your interpretation is of Darnton is on point and makes me despair for the traditional publishing industry. That said, as a writer I find it heartening that I can publish whatever I want, whenever I want. <br /><br />You said, "Twitter Fiction pays its authors in likes, attention, and visibility" -- a true statement. <br /><br />Now -- of course -- the question is: how can e-literature or Twitter writers get paid? gwyndunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008795089396842557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-394751201869491915.post-75211702598255341452016-02-01T10:39:29.909-08:002016-02-01T10:39:29.909-08:00I really like your Twitter fiction examples, and a...I really like your Twitter fiction examples, and agree with your points on the economics of print vs Twitter. After looking at yours and the examples of our classmates, I have started to feel like Twitter fiction is as much of an exercise in my imagination as the authors. It's sort of like a leap from picture books when you are a kid to books with no illustration as you get older. Unlike the narratives in different accounts, over time, stories told by accounts like "veryshortstories" allow the reader to participate by imagining the rest of the story.
