You're invited to my experiment

Hello [name].

I'm making an experiment. Since you're...
  • a big reader
  • interested in social media
  • one smart cookie
[check applicable options]

...I thought you might be interested in donning one of those white coats on the rack behind the door and joining me.

WTF?

My experiment is an interactive fiction story called Greener Grass.

The story is presented through Twitter.

To:
  • watch from afar
  • participate, engaging with characters and shaping narrative
  • ensure you don't miss anything
[check your preference]

...you will need to follow these four Twitter accounts, which represent the story's key players:
This way, the story will appear naturally in your Twitter timeline. If you prefer to track the story separately, you can follow the Greener Grass Twitter list.

Wait. Is this like a novel?

No, not really. It's more like an interactive short story in 140-character installments.

How long's this thing gonna take, lady?

The story starts on Friday February 25 and runs for two weeks, finishing on Friday March 11.

Will it overload my Twitter timeline with crap?

That's not the plan.

But what about—

Answers to further questions can be solicited in the comments. I do hope you'll join me.
