A former Nickelodeon Animation storyboard artist and a Facebook employee have teamed up to create a new form of entertainment: social fiction.

Illustrator Steve Lowtwait and writer Michael Smith are telling a fictional story through social media that’s centered around a protagonist called “Hawk Funn.” They have set up real social profiles on Facebook and Twitter for fictional characters in the story, and they post about the characters’ lives just like real people would. If you follow Hawk on Facebook and on Twitter, you can track the plot and learn about his life as a suburban dad in Colorado and his fear of the indoors.
