I think one tweet per day works if the deadline is 24 hours from when it becomes your turn to post.

I am intrigued by this concept, but I don’t know that I could handle more than 1 tweet/day. How fast would you want it to run?

Good question. I don’t intend for it to be an all-consuming thing either, but I can see how it could get out of hand if there’s a lot of fast responses. We might need some slowing mechanism, like maybe the person at the top of the list (me) could wait to send my tweet until some length of time has passed since my last one (like 24 hours). Or we could just limit everyone to one tweet per day. Of course then we’d have to extend the “must submit within 24 hours rule” to 48 hours or something.

I was worried – if nobody else responded it was going to be a really short story. Twitter-Haiku? Twitter-Limericks?

Actually, many of those chain stories were so long ago we were writing them with Pepsis rather than beers.

Count me in for the chain twitter (chitter?)

@dmr1965 is in. Have to ponder the format and such. Brain is done for today.
