I really enjoyed reading the Hafiz twitter collection. It was interesting to see how a bunch of people (who are probably strangers) could come together on social media and write a compelling and readable story. Additionally, it shows how people can create stories and fiction on social media that are enjoyable, which reminded me of the story of Zola. I am unsure how the writers managed to create this story and I would be interested to learn more about how they did this– who picked the writers? How did they know how to keep the narrative flowing?

Hi Leigh! I also really enjoyed reading the Hafiz collection. I think you raise a good point about the choosing of the writers however. After all, if someone is choosing the writers, isn’t it less about random choice? Won’t there be some bias in who gets chosen and who doesn’t? I also loved how you compared it to the story of Zola. I think it is interesting to compare the two, as Zola wrote her own story while this story was written by many people. Do you think the overall story arc is something that most people like to write and think about?
