#WLquotes

This started just today and it's pretty fun. Pull up a quote from your WebLit story and tweet it with the hash. Then when people search the hash to find out what it's all about, they get to see all the fabulous Weblit quotes that have been tweeted recently.

There's no way to do this wrong (okay, there's a way to do anything wrong, but it's somewhat difficult this time) but here are a couple of tips:

140 characters isn't enough room for some quotes, so you can use several tweets to do it, just number them or otherwise denote their order. Make sure to tag all of the parts so that they all show up in the search!

Attributing quotes is a good practice when it's possible. I usually attribute the character and story if I have room, but if space is low I stick to the character or don't attribute it at all. I figure that people who don't follow me/read Peacock King will find the link to PK in my profile, but other authors may be set up differently. I also don't have multiple stories going yet, so there's no potential confusion there.

Don't assume your work isn't quotable! Read through it and you WILL find something funny, insightful, deep, witty, silly, or just plain pretty. If you write in some part for the pure enjoyment, then there should be something to enjoy in your writing that you can quote. Reading back through for quotes is a lot of fun, too, because it reminded me of old times or of parts I'd forgotten about - always something worth doing.
