Testcut is a pioneering “hashtag novel.” The impetus was the realization that I find interest in very few of Tweets in my feed. I assume this is the same for many.
Testcut will begin on Twitter. These pieces will eventually be rearranged, moved to Facebook (as paragraphs), Medium (as chapters).

Eventually a digital map of the book as it developed will be created — kind of like watching Shakespeare write a play in real time, or Van Gogh paint stroke by stroke (got the idea from a Hockney iPad artwork that captured each stroke as part of a digital continuum).
This is probably the first time such an undertaking has been attempted in writing, taking advantage of current technologies to provide a field day for literary forensics types.
Several cuts are already up under the hashtag #testcut on Twitter. A rather pulse-racing story is developing. A Facebook page compiles the cuts and makes life very easy for completists.
