This is cool.
A Calendar of Tales
I know there are a few Neil Gaiman fans on my flist, but this is fun/quirky even if you're not. Apparently, he asked his twitter followers a question for every month of the year (like "Why is January so dangerous?"), then used the responses to write short flashfics, which were then illustrated by deviantART users. So there are twelve short, unrelated stories, with gorgeous illustrations. There are even some user-created videos of the fics at the bottom of the page. Plus, Neil Gaiman himself has created audio versions of the fics.
That's a really awesome sort of collaboration.
