Wanna join in the fun? Join in here: Melissa was much older than her …

Be sure to include the word “Plurknovela” at the start of each new digital story so that we can search on them (inside Plurk) and document them in our wikis, social bookmarks and such. I have created a wiki page to collect and share these Plurknovelas. Please add yours too! Plurknovela Wiki. Diigo and del.icio.us users: be sure to tag your Plurknovelas with “plurknovela” and “eduplurk” in your social bookmarking and other sites (see post comment from Claudia for more details).

Also, check out another Plurk! initiative, the Plurk-Book-Talk series. So with Plurk! you can collaborate on a fictional digital storytelling novela with a Plurknovela or discuss a book with P-B-T.

“She was only ten years old, and was completely alone. There were women and men around but everyone had a child of their own. Nobody could love her in just the way parents love their kids. She simply did not belong to them.”
