This post is an attempt to catch Twitter peeps up on the #Uhopping tweets flying around the intertubes. The bunch of us weblit writers are seriously considering writing a universe-hopping story. It'll probably be on the silly side. Here are some key tweets:

.@LynThorneAlder .@AdaKaze .@addisonharris We need to write a crazy universe-hopping story. Maybe on LiveJournal. Whoring optional. :)

Re: universe hopping, I think it needs to live in one place. w/ @1889ca maybe?& we need >>

.@AdaKaze @writingnessie @irkdesu @LynThorneAlder >> a reason for the xovers. Maybe a universe-hopping bad guy. A kidnapper? Baby-stealer?

@heidicautrell I'd vote LJ for the creation of said "Universe hopping crack fiction". Then posting on each respective authors site after? #Uhopping

@pinkbagels & @am_harte , want in on universe-hopping? @heidicautrell @irkdesu @lynthornealder @writingnessie & I r brainstorming #Uhopping

RT @irkdesu: For the sake of (some) sanity, could we write this after November, though? XD #Uhopping // Absolutely! Just thinking aloud.

@nlcobb Yep. That rat bastard! @heidicautrell volunteered a bad guy from her fictional world.

@heidicautrell This started out semi-serious, but is so going down hill into hilarious. <3 #Uhopping

I emailed @1889ca . He's cool with hosting #Uhopping on his site. We can also do the blog tour thing and host the bits in our worlds, too.

I'd like to have a version of #Uhopping on #1889ca 's site b/c of upcoming features, like allowing ppl to buy ebooks of individual stories.

I imagine that if some nutters buy copies of #Uhopping we'd divide the moolah equally between us. But we can work that out later.

Count me in! We'll figure something out. Maybe have Sarta drag Melkeen off for a side adventure chasing the bad guy.

See, this whole four letter word (W - O - R - K) thing makes me miss the boat. I missed all those tweets. But, of course, I'm in.

Did I miss anyone?

Oh, one last thought. Assuming we publish the final draft on 1889 Books, rather than split any sales between so many of us, how about we donate them to a charity? Feel free to comment here or on Twitter using #Uhopping.

That would be cool. There would be too much money to split between us. If we can finish it before christmas, people might want to buy it and we can donate it to some type of charity maybe a charity that promotes reading and literacy, idk. But charity is a good idea.
