An experimental spreadsheet story has been downloaded 10,000 times in a week, and the innovative form has already found a few devotees.

Last week GalleyCat reported on David Nygren's experimental spreadsheet short story that crammed plot, dialogue, and characters' thoughts into the cold, hard lines of an Excel page.

Here's more from Nygren: "In fact, there have been rumors that others are planning their own spreadsheet fiction ... Jason Rodriguez has written a story in a spreadsheet as part of his project to tell the same story in 260 (!) genres ... I've received enough positive feedback about the effectiveness of the story itself to convince myself that I'm not completely delusional for kinda liking this thing."
