Talk:Blog fiction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Cleanup

Needs breaking down into an introduction and sections. Way too many external links, many of them inline and unnecessary. GraemeL 01:25, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

It also reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. It has too much original research, argument, and theorizing, and not enough facts. -Branddobbe 21:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

If we're not sure if Belle de Jour or She's a flight risk are fiction, then perhaps they should not be included in the article. Also to prevent bloggers from spamming the external links section in the future we should not include any blogs that haven't been either seriously discussed by a trusted source in the literary community or widely-read. Blog fiction that has been seriously considered important by people other than the author should be accompanied by links proving that this is the case. 68.194.132.20 10:02, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I am not convinced that Plan B is blog fiction. Unlike most blogs, which have several posts on the same page in reverse chronological order, Plan B has seperate chapters like a book. I do not dispute the quality of the work, but as far as form goes, it is an e-book in blog drag. Modiggs1976 04:17, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Examples

I recognize that it would be improper for anyone to 'pimp' their blogs here, I do think that examples would be appropriate, particularly at the end... Tychoish
