Hello? Is there anyone there? I’m not sure what I’m doing here. How does this work?

Oh, lovely, David. I don’t know how well it will work for people unused to the Twitter format, but I’m impressed by the creepy feel, and the fact that it kind of works as well backwards as forwards…
@davidbaillie I love how it starts out in full English and quickly degrades into internet shorthand. Gorgeous attention to detail.
@nixsight This is why he should update more often!
@davidbaillie I totally looked in your tweet history, hoping to find you telling someone you were outside.
I feel kind of embarrassed, I immediately started at the bottom and read up, as if it were a real twitter feed. Reading it from top to bottom is even better, as it lets you piece together what’s going on. Very good stuff.
“Un-follow me!” Brilliant, very very funny. Read it both ways and both equally good. I am even more tempted to go on Twitter now, hehe.
I don’t understand the Twitter format at all, but the story works perfectly for me, both front and back.
And just when I thought that we must have exhausted all of the ‘format’ stories.
aww, man. i’ve been toying with that idea for months now. but you actually did it.
great job!
He’s a bad Twitizen, which is great! It adds value to conversations one thought were long over!
Really? This story made you want to go on Twitter? It kind of made me want to close down my account and back away from the computer slowly… ;-)
Are you following any of the Twitter fiction writers? There are a couple of pretty nifty efforts ongoing…
i’ve encountered only a handful.
you have a list of more?
There are a couple.
JunkDNAFiction is self-described as “Bizarro Sexpunk SMS Serial Fiction”.
More interesting is kind of a communal Twitter-fiction that is part-Lost, part-Victoriana and part-horror story, called the “collected epistolations of the laganites”.
It was, I believe, started by Dylan Meconis – quirkybird.livejournal.com – and has grown beyond that.
It can be tracked here: http://www.damejetsam.com
Wow – hadn’t heard of twitterfiction… Now I look like a thieving hack.
Which I am, of course. But not for this.
Hah! Oh, no, twitterfiction and micro-fiction have been around a little while, but your story is, I think, a brand-new thing – like being the first movie to use documentary style filming or hand-held camera.
True, it feels like it might be a slim new field, but you nailed it!
I don’t know anything about twitter other than you can have followers (which i assume are subscribers)…but this really works dave, reading backwards or forwards. Its the first hyperspace horror story I’ve ever read and i really enjoyed the creapiness of the suggestion of it happening in ‘real time’. You’re such a wee smart arse sometimes,and i love it!!! Well done!
