Résumé
The Writever creative challenge is a permanent collective writing invitation on the microblogging platform, Twitter. Each day, a word prompts people to write a 280 characters science fiction, fantasy or fantastic story. Our article proposes an ethnography of this literary digital space, explores the way the “everwriters” take ownership of the proposition, as a self-training practice, and unveil their individual strategies to face the constraints. Our ethnographic study also aims to draw the landscape of the collective dimension of this writing challenge, which includes the social aspect of Twitter, but making room for the discrete and constant presence of bots, automated accounts, in charge of interactingwith the posts.
