Micro Fiction Lives!

Micro forms and examples

Micro Fiction on the web can be presented in many different forms—as a story published in a web magazine, as a weblog entry or page on a personal website, as a Hypertext Fiction, as a popup box or even a flash movie or graphic. Another nice solution is the i-frame, which allows you to import an outside web page into a scrollable box. For the more web-savvy, there is the possibility of formatting Micros on a personal wiki page.

Although I haven't seen it done, the S5 Slideshow format would be a perfect showcase for Micros. It requires a rather extensive knowledge of CSS in order to utilize it, however. Want to showcase your own Micros but don't have experience working with web pages? My advice is simple: Get a Blogger.Com blog. It's free, and there are many attractive templates to choose from. They also have an enormous help section to get you started.

The links below reflect an initial attempt to bring together many different examples of Micro-formatting for you to examine. I'll be adding to this list as time goes by.

The text effects and formatting of this site are best viewed through a CSS compliant browser such as Firefox which allows hover effects on non-link elements. It's a free browser.
