Thanks for the link, this is a nice extensive list, ill have to check them out.
Nice. Just bumped into this and I’m actually one of the co-authors of Alchibah. It’s a sci-fi blog novel that chronicles the birth of the first ex-Earth colony. We’re currently under attack by aliens, so now’s a great time to check it out (lots of action!).
This is a good start, but I was wondering how you could have missed plan b by Diego Doval, which by some accounts is the original blog novel.

I find the notion of “blog” novels intriguing…but what’s the talent level? I’ve heard of David Wellington and if I’m not mistaken he’s just signed a book deal but is this a case of amateurs and wannabes proliferating or is there genuine talent there that’s being over-looked? I’ve been a pro writer for over 20 years so I’m obviously interested in new technologies and venues. Looking forward to exploring this matter further…
There’s nothing wrong with being an amateur or a wannabe, especially a talented amateur. Writers have to learn the craft of storytelling somewhere, and there are worse places to start than online with the immediate feedback of an objective audience.
My novel, Gold Medal Murder, is being posted at http://printpusher.com/goldmedalmurder/
There are several novels at PrintPusher.com and I have more listed in the sidebar at Blooking Central. If anyone knows of blogged novels which have been published in print, I’d love to hear about them. So far I’ve looked at over 200 blooks (blogs into print) and perhaps half are fiction.

I’m writing a novel at the moment: A Change In The Weather.
It’s a modern-day fairy tale for young adults. Based in England and concerning the adventures of a brother and sister as they move to a new place in the country. Never written before, but thought that this form of self-publishing would help me finish it! It gets quite addictive at times…
I’m presently blogging a novel, The Fat White Woman at http://clivecollinsfiction.blogspot.com .
I’ve turned to blogging my fiction because, after a relatively successful start as an author (good reviews, library purchases, particularly in the US) interest in my work from publishers vanished.
My published titles are, The Foreign Husband (Marion Boyars, 1989),
Sachiko’s Wedding (Marion Boyars, 1990, Penguin Books, 1991) and
Misunderstandings (Marion Boyars, 1993). Misunderstandings was joint-winner of the Macmillan Silver PEN Award in 1994.
