Blog as novel, continued
Simon of Space is another blognovel. It's science fiction, based on the first few chapters and art. Formally, it is putatively a diary novel, so far, which raises the question of: can a blognovel avoid including formal features supporting the blog format?
It also has the useful feature of a table of contents page.
Someone should get all of us bookbloggers together somehow. That would make for an interesting conversation.
Oh, this is via a very handy Metafilter thread, on free science fiction from the web. (Which feels like it's all science fiction and some horror, less fantasy; different from the print market)
Hi,
Interested in chatting about this ?
I'm working on a 'sort of a blog novel' ...
What i mean by that is that:
* I will host it at blogger
* and yes part of it will be a blog / diary
but I am tweaking & stretching the blogger template to bring in:
* narrative
as well as some other aspects / concepts that I think may be unique.
Pop me an email if you wanna bounce some ideas around.
Thanks
Jy
