Hashtagstories – Stories Written as a Sequence of Twitter Hashtags

New cover of Hashtagstories Vol.1 – what do you think?
As I’ve almost finished a second set of hashtagstories, I decided to change a cover. There was something I didn’t like about the original one. It was pure, simple – and didn’t show how versatile can be the world of Twitter hashtags. And yes, I wanted to make it dirty. For those who want to [...]
