Writing about Literature in the Digital Age

A website that is dedicated to making sure that you got the ending you wanted to your favorite show. People can write and make up stories using characters that have already been created like Harry Potter or Batman.

This is the site that I refer to in my blog.

Looks like Jeff Howe does have a blog. This link was on his twitter account

After reading Ashley Lewis's blog I noticed this really cool feature off to the side of her blog. It shows you where someone is at that is viewing your page. I thought it was pretty neat and so I followed her link and posted it to my blog page.

It advocates the use of social media to give these people a voice in a community that is more apt to ignore them.
