Another narrative

The proposed narrative didn't fly as I thought it would.  I wonder what happened to all of the participants.  Where have they gone? Is there a way to get you all back? Maybe it was the holiday that scared off the narrators. 

Humm...

Well, I would like to see if anyone would like to create another narrative with me.  It'll begin with a post from whom ever would like to start. It is in your hands. 

Just a reminder, if you'd like to participate:
Just log into twitter using

And post your narrative away!! 

Thanks,

Compilation of Twitter Tale

Hello All!! 

It's amazing to see what has become of this little project.  I only wish there were more participation.  It was really awesome in the beginning, there were tons of people who wanted to create a narrative, but then it all just dwindled away.  I want to try something a little different.  I would like to end the current narrative and then move on to something else.  

I want the narrative to go from Monday November 24, 2008 and only last until Friday, November 28, 2008, the day after Thanksgiving.  Since it is the day after Thanksgiving, in can be any story you'd like to tell involving any element of this American tradition. 

Can't wait for the creativity to begin! Good Luck!!

TweetTale Has Begun

So now people are signing in. It's amazing!! If you want to post, you can sign your name at the end or put @yourname. Not literally, but with your name.

The story is turning into something fantastic.

In a few days we'll cap it off and begin a new story. Something that you choose and develop. Something that means something to you from the fantastic to the real. A story of notes passed to each twitter user that becomes a whole new creation born from the brains of the bloggers.

First Post

"Ann, of dark hair, extreme beauty and even greater intelligence begins to think this must be a dream and pinches herself."

The first post from another user! The tale has begun. Never could have imagined it would work so fast.

It's great to see that people want to partake in making this dream materialize.

First day

It all began when I was little and used to pass around notes. The notes were little bits of gossip but gossip for me was story. Everyone would contribute to create this huge lie about nothing. I remember this girl Monta. She would always wear long sleeves, even in winter, and we never understood why. She had the most beautiful face but boys were afraid of this one little thing about here. That's when the notes began to be passed. What was underneath those sleeves?

Some people thought she had robot arms, others made up stories that she had transparent skin which couldn't be exposed to light. I befriended her and found out the truth.

This led me to think about a modern story built by everyone all over the world using this new device I found, Twitter. I tried a few launched thinking people would be interested, but it never happened.

I want to make this work, but I don't have people to pass these notes to. If anyone is interested in developing it with me let me know. Also you can go to www.tweettale.com.

A little about me: I'm a writing student in my senior year and have been fasinated with interactive narrative since that experience as a child.

Any thoughts comments or suggestions you can tweet me @tweettale.
