Why #vss and #wpss are good for a writer?

For those who are not very much involved into Twitter literature: #vss stands for very short story, #wpss is West Port Short Story. Both are the hashtags used to spot literary pieces written by Twitter authors. Why are they so good for writers?

They make writing easier :. You are constanly inspired by all the great stories, which are accompanied by both tags. You don’t wait, you write – because you don’t want to be left behind. For a non-English writer this is also an invitation to break his limits. I skipped #twittnovel, because I realized I can’t be good at it. With literary hashtags I feel like a member of a community, the one who has to learn a lot, but also the one, who is obliged to try. As I fixed my mind on tech-absurd, I’ll write #vss and #wpss on that and only that. Maybe my English is not good enough, but I hope the stories will be interesting enough to accept my language as it is.

They promote short literature :. I greatly believe that the future of literature are short narrative forms – like the ones on Twitter. As both tags lure more and more writers and readers, they are a great way to help digital literature break into mainstream. People stop reading books, because they perceive them as time consuming. But reading a #vss can give you a similar doze of emotions. And it takes a moment – or a stream of moments. »»»

Literatura na Twitterze

twitteratura

Ten wpis poświęcony jest literaturze tworzonej i publikowanej na Twitterze. Jak mam o tym nie napisać, jak wierzę w krótką formę, to raz. Uważam, że każde ograniczenie wyzwala ludzką kreatywność, to dwa. A Twitter ze swoim limitem 140 znaków przyspieszył rozwój twórczości literackiej nowego rodzaju: mikrofikcji, czy już raczej nanofikcji.

Chodzi mi o autentyczne literackie dokonania, których podstawową cechą jest to, że ponieważ mieszczą się w 140 znakach mogą być opublikowane na Twitterze. Pod opisem każdego z działań pojawiają się ostatnie wpisy. Czytajcie co się da już teraz. Wszystko zmienia w dużym tempie. Niektóre projekty prowadzone są przez kilka, kilkanaście dni (jak Poskromienie Złośnicy),  a niektórzy twórcy po prostu przestają pisać (jak @twirledview, który tworzył miniopowiadania składające się równo ze 140 znaków).

Będę nie tylko dodawał użytkowników (@), ale również hashtagi (#). Te ostatnie pozwalają szybko wyłowić wpis zawierający odpowiednią treść (w tym przypadku utwór literacki, niejednokrotnie znakomity), a pochodzące od każdego, kto chce dołączyć ze swoimi dokonaniami do tej a nie innej grupy.

Twitteratura w najczystszej postaci do przeczytania poniżej. Zapraszam: »»»
