Rest easy, writers!
The very stupidest possible way to distribute short stories on-line has now been done! Now, you no longer have to worry about coming up with the worst idea ever, because the least user-friendly, least convenient way imaginable has already been taken!

That's... impressively weird. Kinda like random street theatre in the middle of your websurfing. I applaud their dadaesque blend of art & communication technology.

Wow.
Someone gave them a grant to do this. I suppose it creates a new industry - the short story blocker (plus anti-story software, bookwalls, etc.) Perhaps it's a surreal job creation scheme. |
