Snowflake Method

1) My miniature dachshund is making a myspace to make new friends and perhaps find a new soul mate.

2) Rufus, my miniature dachshund is getting bored of just chewing on his bone and sleeping all day long. He decides to make a myspace so he can make new friends and play with them. Rufus is heartbroken by Tinkerbell (my chihuahua) because she cheated on him with another dog so he is also looking for love with the help of myspace. Rufus is an easy going indoor dog who is way friendly and always ready to play his favorite 'chase game' with a friend.

3) My character's name is Rufus. Rufus is a male miniature dachshund who is getting bored of his repetitive life and decides to make a myspace to meet interesting people and maybe even find a lover. Rufus has been cheated on by his ex girlfriend Tinkerbell, so he wants to eventually meet a pretty girl dog to spend his life with.

Fiction Topic Ideas

I think it would be fun to create a fake persona on myspace and that's what i'm planning on doing so far.

Online Fiction

I found some serious online fiction on myspace...i looked up a couple of famous people and figured there would be some crazy people impersonating them and sure enough that's what i found. Here's a link to one of Paris Hilton's fake myspaces.

Another example of online fiction is this alternate reality game called Year Zero. I can't remember if that's an example we went over in class or not, but i typed in alternate reality games in google and that's what came up. I guess this game is based on the Nine Inch Nails concept album.

Major Wiki Edit

I changed my topic for the major wiki edit from Marc Jacobs to Pocatello High School because I knew more information about this topic and it was easier for me to make the article better. It took me about two hours total to complete my major wiki edit. Overall I figured out how to make major changes to Wikipedia fairly quick. This was a fun assignment.
