This article on Japanese cellphone novels is fairly interesting, not only because of the subject but because of the nostalgic vocabulary.

Why hello, `sine qua non,` haven`t seen you in a while. Likesay, since high school English class vocabulary tests. I GUESS IT WAS ALL WORTH IT, Jerome Shostack!

Huh. I always thought that the cell phone novels were composed to be read on cell phones, but I never realized that they were also composed BY cell phone - jesus. No wonder the girl killed her thumb.
I can't believe they didn't mention Yoshi in there - didn't he basically START the whole republishing-into-book-and-taking-the-world-by-storm trend? Rewritten into every medium imaginable? Oh well. Yoshi's the only one I've read. Strange too how they talk like it's only young girls, but Yoshi's a guy.
