Here's a new idea for stories, and it is almost a media unto itself: conversations in instant messaging situation. You can have interesting conversations, and then include them in a short story or something. I was thinking that the stories would have to include the computers in them, but you could also do other stuff with it. Anyway, that would also be a fun and easy way to write conversations between people, especially since you always have two people contributing. Anyway, here is what I mean:

Mooshie says:
Richard hey
Richard says:
sup pimp juice
(and Richard goes afk, as he often does)
Mooshie says:
how are you?
Mooshie says:
hey man i love you
Mooshie says:
and no i am not drunk

So the timing is not recorded, etc., etc. Another good thing is if you were writing something this way, then you wouldn't have to write it again or anything, just copy and paste. What do you think, am I onto anything here? Don't you think parts of books could be like this? I was thinking people who might not otherwise be into literature could get exposed this way, if they saw a couple books published or something. Lol okay I have no idea, I just thought about all this and wanted to start this thread.
