Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

If you think your life is pretty boring, do us all a favor and don't start a blog. But instead of worrying about how exciting your real existence may be, resort to what human kind has been doing for millenia: make something up. Ficlets is the webcentric spin on a timeless tradition of round-robin storytelling. Write your own story and the multitudes can embellish your tale. The only rule is to honor modern attention spans and keep it really short (under 1,024 characters). If you're afraid your fiction might fall flat, inspiration is only a click away. Technology can't do very much to make the mundane interesting, but web sites like Ficlets may make spinning a yarn feel like a brand new thing.
