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!!!

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".
