I updated my list of email narratives this morning, with some help from Nick (thanks!). All the commercial efforts at using stories told in email for marketing have given way to sexy webcams, and I don’t know of any new commercial attempts, apart from spam. I haven’t seen much new email storytelling at all, really – do let me know if you know of something!

Matt Beaumont’s e-mail epistolary novel “e” should fit in nicely with your list (published in 2000).

Ah, except it’s a printed novel, which is different – I’m particularly interested in narratives that are *sent out as emails*, “written in the network”.
Though I like regular epistolary novels too, and have put “e” into my amazon shopping cart 🙂

Thanks, Jason for the new novel! Will add em all.
