UPDATE: Charisma (NO LONGER) on Twitter!

[xmung]

haha - I should probably have my head examined for this...
charisma_E is using Twitter ...and in some bizarre 4th wall breach our universe's Twitter is somehow relaying her feed! Spooky.

Will be an interesting experiment. I know that John Allison tried something similar with Shelly Winters (aka Dr Lady Sounds) one of his Scary-Go-Round characters but pulled the plug on it after a couple of weeks. Anyway, check it out - Ms Pop Princess just started her account so there's only a couple of updates but there will hopefully be at least a couple of new ones every day.

And yes, it constitutes a massive security breach... but what do you care, you get to read the thoughts of Charisma Epoch!

BTW, the next two weeks offer an amazing synchronicity with a recently finished chapter of Magellan...

haha - well, I'm playing this totally in character and in situ, so don't expect Charisma to know who you are or to be anything other than Charisma (ie rude!). Also, I'm attempting some in narrative tweeting here... Charisma's few references thus far might sound familiar because they're referencing events that have already happened from the point of view of the webcomic reader - (also those events happened before MM & Rochelle's adventure so the likelihood of Charisma knowing MM are even lower!)

feel free to snark back - I'm sure MM would love to tell Charisma what she thinks of her. It would be like a Twitter crossover!

A Twitover?

[xmung]

I'm having a total blast with this so far. Let's see how long the novelty lasts! I've not paid all that much attention to Twitter in the past although I can see it's an interesting way of communicating and now I've dabbled a bit I really like the 140 character limit a lot more than I thought I would. It's ideally suited to Charisma too!

What's been fun about it is that I just told the events between pages 4.39 and 4.277 as they unfolded in real time using Charisma tweets! Those 236 pages covered a day in Magellan time and took me well over 2.5 years to tell - but about 30 posts over 20 hours on Twitter.

If you want to read from the start you'll have to go to the latest page, scroll to the bottom and click on "More"...

So where to now? I definitely won't keep up the pace of updates... once the excitement of the dragon attack wears off and everything settles back to "normal" or what passes for it at Magellan then it'll probably be about 1-2 tweets a day. I still have the next 10 or so days leading up to the ceremony (and we all know how Charisma feels about that!). Beyond that... who knows? There is a certain incident in about two months time that involves a certain blue energy entity and a firebreathing Gabby. Let's see if I can make it that far!

I'm going to sticky this near the top of the forum for a while in case anyone feels the need to, y'know, discuss.

BTW... the twitpic function adds a whole new fantastic dimension to this project! I'll see if I can add a new Charisma every once a week or so. Will give some interesting looks into Magellan life and events not necessarily seen in the main comic...

I've decided to admit that I won't be going back to this... sigh, it was fun while it lasted but terribly distracting for not just my production of Magellan but life in general.

It's my intention however to make a small pdf book of Charisma's tweets...
