In the vein of recent writing experiments, Robin Sloan (of Snarkmarket) recently wrote and posted a short story entitled: The Wrong Plane. It was the result of a wager:
As I’m writing this, I’m at $9,853—just a handful of backers away from $10,000. So here’s the pitch: If we get to $10K before midnight PST on Tuesday, I’ll do the world’s first digital/occult (super) short-story throw-down in the sky. Five hours, 2,500 miles—so let’s make it 2,500 words. I’ll write and edit the story entirely on the plane and post it as soon as I land.
He got that $10,000.

Oh, and by the way, Robin was kind enough to include a link to 3D1D on Snarkmarket. So go pay him in kind and read his work – he writes brilliantly. =)
