A worthless login networking protocol, that uses NO BRAIN power to break into. As long as you have complete access to the MDF. However, they provide, the only foreseeable victory over the evils of SCO. (ps linux is better). MAC OS X PANTER 4 EVER! Like linux, but ACTUALLY WORKS 110% OF THE TIME!

A Japanese novel read as an game-like application on a computer. A term to distinguish itself from a "Game" because there is usually no gameplay involved, and the only interaction that the player can make with the game is making certain choices at specific points in the game that decides which branch of the storyline that the player will take.
Also distinguishes itself from an "eroge" or "hentai game" in that sex is usually the main appeal of a hentai game, but plot and story is the main appeal of a visual novel.
Anime-styled drawing most of the time. Some may contain sex scenes, and some are emotionally charged stories targeted at older audiences with a lot of plot and depth. The pros are that it usually comes with pictures, sounds effects, music and voices which gives one a richer experience than reading a plain novel. The cons are that it requires a lot of clicking of the mouse to scroll through the novel text.

Based on the Japanese form of keitai shosetsu, or "cell phone novel", a twitter novel is the newest form of serialised fiction on the interwebs. The 140-character limited format and method of reading bottom-to-top offers great opportunities for experimentation within the novel form and makes the reader pay more attention than they would with straight-ahead dead tree fiction.
vermilionsands02: dude, have you been reading teenage_exiles? that twitter novel is deep!

A romance novel that contains drawn-out and very descriptive sex scenes. Mainly geared towards women, these novels are often corny, cheap, paperback-bound, and sold in drugstores and supermarkets.

A novel whose prose is, at times, lyrical in that it is styled with rhymes, wordplay, and alliteration.
The Streets: An LP Novel is the world's first LP novel. The tone is set with the opening paragraph: Back in the day, Franco told T they were gonna take this trip. Hop the Turnpike straight outta Jersey. Fill up on Philly cheesesteaks. Run the Rocky stairs. Blaze through the dirty dirty. Push a hunid thirty thirty. Refuel at a bodega in Talladega. See the city serenade that is a Nawlins jazz parade. Next to West Texas...

A Novel written on a cellphone or written on a computer with the intent of the book being veiwed on cellphone screens, so chapters are usually written shorter so there is little to no need for scrolling.
Chapter 187 of the cellphone novel: Secondhand Memories by Takatsu
We walked in silence for a while.
The twinkling lights in the neighbourhood slowly one by one were snuffed out, like candles.
But yet, this was not a depressing thought. As people turned off their lights, the night would gently embrace everyone with peace.
Hush. The night was our lullaby.
I glanced at my handphone. It was 12 already. I hadn’t realized I had spent so much time in the hospital.
“It’s really late isn’t it?” I asked no one in particular.
