Fanfic Assignments

Blogger Fanfic

_cokwr: Write fanfic about your favourite blogger(s). Maybe someone in or around ds106, maybe somebody elsewhere you read regularly. What do they get up to? What are their secret thoughts and dreams? How do they get on with other bloggers? Obviously these stories are likely to be pretty ridiculous, but they should never be any more ridiculous than blogging itself., _cpzh4: Fanfic, _cre1l: http://eduslash.wordpress.com/, _chk2m: Fr Vivian O'blivion, _ciyn3: 151, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

Phake Tweets

_cokwr: Use the Twister tool from ClassTools (http://classtools.net/twister/) to generate a series of images representing the voices of past figures if they could express themselves in twitter. Notch it up, and recast a historical event with a new plot line, and notch it up again, but making it a back and forth between two figures (use @person!) - my example is not developed as a fanfic, but should give you an idea of what to do (okay, okay, I will do a real assignment, sigh)., _cpzh4: Fanfic, _cre1l: http://cogdogblog.com/2011/03/17/phake-tweets/, _chk2m: CogDog, _ciyn3: 99, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

Social Network Story

_cokwr: Enact a story in realtime using social networks and websites. Get creative by combining multiple sites like Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare. Document it in some audiovisual form., _cpzh4: Fanfic, _cre1l: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sghwe4TYY18, _chk2m: Tim Owens, _ciyn3: 16, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:
