We Tell Stories
We Tell Stories is a new website for Penguin that features 6 writers creating 6 stories in 6 weeks. Each week features a piece of “digital fiction” from an established author working with the possibilities of the internet — one story “unfolds across a map of the world” with Google Maps, another is an elaborate “choose your own adventure” type tales, and this week’s is a relationship story that you can observe getting written, an hour each night in real time.
The extra-special twist? Each of these new stories is inspired by a Penguin Classic. The story “Hard Times for Our Times - The Infographic Edition” is infected by Charles Dickens’ “Hard Times,” and so on. Cool and nerdy! Fabulous.
