I’ve compiled all of the writing of the 12 contestants (minus Fyor, who hasn’t posted yet) from the first 10 days on the Fourth Fiction Twitter page. Each contestant was allowed to write up to four posts, known as ‘tweets,’ per 24-hour period. Because there are several hundred tweets in total, I’ve divided them into 10 pages (the links are at the bottom of the post below the “Similar Posts” links). To add color and context, I’ve also included some Fourth Fiction-related tweets from other writers on Twitter, especially when the contestants responded to them. Any writing by non-contestants is [italicized and enclosed within brackets]. Unlike Twitter, which displays the most recent tweets first, I have listed these chronologically from oldest to most recent.
For those who know nothing about Twitter, a tweet consists of up to a maximum of 140 characters, including spaces. Any series of letters or numerals preceded by the @ symbol refers to someone’s Twitter page. (ie. @FourthFiction). These “@replies” are used to directly refer to other writers on Twitter. RT means “re-tweet” and is used when forwarding other people’s tweets. The # symbol is used to identify terms for the Twitter search engine (i.e. #4thfiction). You can find a more detailed Twitter overview here. This will all make more sense as you read through the tweets.
