Well done.

Yeah, that 140-character stuff is hard. I don't think it allows carriage-returns either, so dialogue has to be postmodern.

I always think of a 100-word drabble as two ideas juxtaposed, or one with a twist into another. But these tweetfics are really one thought interrupted.

Thanks. And yeah--one of the mags says "use carriage returns because many people will see them, but make sure it's readable without because many won't." Or something like that. :)

The tweetfic really has to pull on a wide shared knowledge if it wants to say a lot. Strange data compression. A lot of what I'm reading is just meh--like it's obvious they've clipped what they wanted to say, with no style at all.
