Narrative and Weblogs: the Blognovel

Diego writes "A few days ago I started Plan B -- a blognovel as a way of exploring the narrative constraints created by a weblog, and whether it is at all possible to use it as an artistic medium to produce interesting work. It also presents some interesting challenges on the UI side: what kind of navigation to use besides the basic calendar navigation of the blog? How could it be made obvious that it's not intended to replace print or even ebooks? I thought the slashdot community would have a lot useful things to say about all of these issues. I've also put together a short intro page and a FAQ that I think will be useful to start the conversation: What is Plan B? and the Plan B FAQ."

Plan B?

Isn't this where you accuse someone else of the crime to create reasonable doubt? ...

Sorry, I've got a season pass for "The Practice" on my Tivo. Too much pseudo-lawyer speak in my brain.

Just to stay completely off-topic, don't you love the way that the jury always comes back quick on that show. The lawyers are always so shocked.

So what about all those books that I paid good money for that were under such stringent "quality control" that had so many spelling errors, etc in it?
