Webitz - Checking out the Web from an amateur's point of view

Novels on Facebook

May 26th 2011 02:37
There are several websites such as Amazon, Booklending.com and Lendle.com where you can download books for free to read on your Kindle or phone.

But a different kind of online writing has recently begun to surface, according to 'Ruby Pseudo'. Several young people have begun writing books on Facebook, by using the 'notes' application. (The "what's on your mind" part of Facebook has a limited number of characters, rather like Twitter, but other sections of the site are much freer in how much you can write at a time.)

'Keisha The Sket' began life as a text novel (similar to those produced in Japan) - hence its rather peculiar use of the English language, at least for a novel.

For example: " 'Yeh so wot u on?' Ramel allerted me. He was 1 peng boi dt i had been chatin 2 4 tym. "

There are several others listed on Ruby Psuedo's site. You may have a little trouble checking them out, depending on your particular access to Facebook.
