Microblogging novel

A microblogging novel, also known as a micro novel, is a fictional work or novel written and distributed in small parts, defined by the system it is published within. A 'Twitter novel' would be published in chapters of 140 characters or less,[1][2][3] and a 'Facebook novel'[4] might be limited by Facebook's 'read more' limitations of 300 characters.

History

Micro novels are related to blog fiction, which is published in blog format.[5] Another related phenomenon is the cell phone novel where installments are sent out to readers via SMS; this type of publishing originated in Japan. Micro novels have also been known to be published through email. Similar manifestations include flash fiction, a work of fiction completed in 1000 words or less, where the publishing medium is irrelevant.

gollark: That's not an actual format. Files with `.conf` extensions contain many different incompatible weird things.
