Novel Twivortiare By: Ika Natassa

Sinopsis:

dare we say twitterature? I can’t remember what got me to do this in the first place, but one morning, this thing hit my head: hey, what if a character that I’ve created in one of my books has a Twitter account? What he/she would say? Well, to say I had too much time in my hand or that I got bored at that time is probably not far from the truth. So yes, that morning on January 23^rd which was around the time that I was experiencing the so-called writer’s block while finishing Antologi Rasa I set up a Twitter account under the name of @alexandrarheaw, tweeting as Alexandra Wicaksono, the female lead in my 2nd book Divortiare. At first I didn’t promote that thing. I just tweeted once in a while, and suddenly I realized that it was growing followers. And you know what, some started speculating that Alexandra was real. That the book I wrote a few years back was about this one real woman. So before it got carried away, I just tweeted in my personal account @ikanatassa that now they can follow @alexandrarheaw as the spinoff of Divortiare. Well, whaddayaknow, at the time I wrote this, the @alexandrarheaw got some twelve hundred followers. Which for me, is kinda... wow. What’s more wow, though, is how the followers in this case, my readers reacted to the tweets. They asked questions, commented, and expressed their emotions towards some of the things that I tweeted as if this Alexandra character is real. 
Suddenly I’m in this weird, cosmic, unfathomable interactive relationship with the followers. Which is totally new for me. I didn’t even know that their comments and questions could actually lead me to making up stories as we go. At one point, I think I got really really creative that I said to myself ”I can’t believe I’m tweeting this shit but it’s fun.” @alexandrarheaw’s tweets, like all Twitter ramblings, are plotless, spontaneous, chaotic, just as a normal, living person lives his/her life. What amuses me more is that some followers actually took the liberty of creating their own spin-off Twitter account. Before I know it, now the husband is tweeting, the best friend is tweeting, hell even the housemaid of the character is tweeting. Which I found hilarious. And I don’t mind, really. If one Twitter account that I started could ignite others to explore their own creativity, why not? I personally don’t know if this is going to be a trend now or in the future. You know, the whole an author tweeting his/her story instead of writing it in a book. A couple of people have done something called ’twitterature’ a smart amalgamation of ’twitter’ and ’literature’, don’t you think? In it, these two guys, Achman and Rensin, wrote humorous reworkings of literary classics for the twenty-first-century intellect, in digestible portions of 20 tweets or fewer. I bought and read the book, and I must say, I quite enjoyed how Hamlet was tweeting, Harry Potter was tweeting, Anna Karenina was tweeting, and a whole bunch more. And didn’t ”Shit My Dad Says” start from @shitmydadsays? And then there’s this article in Time Magazine Twitter Lit: A New Creative Outlet in which they explained how writers are shaping
