If I'm writing a story where it's about things people do online, how do I keep my people from seeming like talking heads?

Do it in the form of facebook quotes, tumbler posts, pintrest post, emails, the occasional tweet, etc? BTW can you link to the Kos post?

I will, but I think there was a misunderstanding...someone ran an ADA post in the slot I thought was mine,

I'm getting pounded with work which is keeping me from making much progress writing or beta reading currently. OTOH I think I've thought of the first sentence for Cog and the Copper Dragon (I've got the first two chapters written save for the opening since I realized I needed a little scene there). "The banshee wail ripped through Cog's slumber like a hot locomotive through butter."
Being a rough draft, there is little likelihood it will remain the first sentence, but maybe I can get that rough first chapter put away now.

Hi all. I've got a preview of my witch short story, "Baby Detonate For Me," online right now for a limited time. I think folks around here might enjoy it.
Happy Halloween!

That was a great short, Victor. I liked it a lot!
The site said it was a draft; holler at me if you need a beta or copy editor; I REALLY liked Whitney and this story.

Thanks for posting that, Victor. Great read.
