Duncan over at TechChrunch asks Twitter As a Conduit For Fiction?

Last week we ran a story on figures out of Japan where half of the top ten selling works of fiction are written on mobile phones; people (not surprisingly) thought this was rather odd, but sales figures don’t lie.

What’s sad is people see this as “new”. The idea was old before the internet and once the web hit people stared sites and or sections of writing sites where users could come and contribute a line to a story. Sometimes more, of course. Most of the time this doesn’t work. Some anonymous jerk will come along and try to hijack or ruin the story. Because Twitter requires accounts it might cut down on that a little, but anyone can create an account. Someone want to set a timer? :)

If they have a little bit of moderation and editing for the finished project it could still turn out cool. Even if it doesn’t work it’s still a fun idea made new again with Twitter.
