Twitter fics
I've been wondering what is possible.....
I know you can do 140 character fics but could you twitter an abridged version of a fic?

You could but it would take a while...

I think I'd worked that part out *laughs*
It's an interesting idea. What if you took a reasonably long fic (say 20k-100k words) and tried to boil it down to as few sentences or short paragraphs as possible? How short could you make the story without losing any vital content? That could be a really good exercise for eliminating unnecessary verbiage and even unnecessary plot elements.

The fic I had in mind is one where I'm trying more than ever than that, so it would be apposite to do so.
There is actually a Finnish book written in twitter, by countless of users. I haven't read it yet, but they have translated it to English if I remember correctly. Don't know how good it can be though, kind of hard to keep something like that together...
