Twitter has just announced its official selections for the first ever Twitter Fiction Festival, the social media site’s foray into the world of experimental fiction. Earlier this month, they selected a panel of judges to review submissions which included authors, editors, press marking directors, and educators. That panel has selected 29 different fiction projects that will be showcased from November 28th to December 2nd. Twitter says that these projects span five continents and will come to you in five different languages,

Here’s a selection of the selections:

Author Jennifer Wilson (@travelinfamily) will invite Twitter users to help her write epigraphs for gravestones. Posting photographs of the existing stones, the community input will inspire short stories about each of the departed.
Friday and Sunday at 12noon EST (17:00 GMT)

“Censortive” is a story by a Chinese author that combines the words “censor” and “sensitive” and will explore the idea of permitted speech in the People’s Republic of China.

Good stuff. Head on over to the Twitter blog for the complete list of all 29 participants and the times.

Of course, you can still participate even if you aren’t an official participant. Twitter suggests that you tell your experimental stories and include the #twitterfiction hashtag. The @TwitterBooks account will showcase some of the best user submissions, according to the company. So, if you have a way to utilize Twitter to make for interesting storytelling, keep at it.

If you just want to follow along with everyone else’s fiction, Twitter has set up a dedicated event page for the festival.
