Please, Don't Forget About FUEL DUMP.
« on: July 18, 2009, 04:40:45 AM »
It's my Twitter novel, being written live, one sentence at a time.

You can read it at www.twitter.com/scharpling - just click on my FAVORITES and go from bottom to top!

And spread the word. It's starting to heat up!

Thanks.

Tom.

 Someone posted these a while back:

http://twittertales.com/FuelDump

 You can read it there if you have trouble reading backward in Twitter. I think the first link is more up to date.

I have really gotta just take a few hours and read this start to finish.  Maybe I'll do a printjob and read it on the plane this week.

It's always a joy to log on to twitter and see a sudden BURST of Fuel Dump, like this morning.

That first link auto-updates every three minutes, I'm told.  It reads Tom's tweets and parses those with "#fd" into the text.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Also, please don't forget about just regular old Dump, too.


I'm warning you with peace and love.

My respect for Fuel Dump reached a new level upon discovering that it's written in real time, sentence-by-sentence!

Fuel Dump is at least half the reason I decided to give Twitter a try in the first place, and I am not disappointed.  Thanks, Tom.

Tom, my boyfriend and I like to read to each other (I know, we're corny) but you'll be happy to know that we took turns reading Fuel Dump in its current entirety out loud the other night, and it was a true pleasure!
