If you’ve got a dark sense of humor about the holidays, like me, be sure to check out #BadElf, the current serial on Twitter from Thaumatrope. This hilarious serial traces the adventures of the most sociopathic elf of all time…an elf who’d be right at home hanging out with good ol’ Hannibal Lecter. It’s not for the easily offended, but it is friggin’ high-larious, and I hope you’ll check it out. Thaumatrope itself, spearheaded by founder/publisher/editor Nathan Lilly, is on the forefront of Twitter fiction, bringing serials and standalone fiction “tweets” our way every single day. Check it out here. As if running one innovative fiction enterprise wasn’t enough, powerhouse Nathan also runs SpaceWesterns.com and EverydayWeirdness.com, a repository of brand new flash fiction every single day of the year. Talk about ambitious projects! Do yourself a favor and check out these sites, which are on the cutting edge of web-based fiction publications. And don’t forget to read #BadElf! See you soon!
