TripleQuick iPhone app

Well, we're just wiggling with excitement over here. Why? It's here:

It is our most whiz-bangy thing-a-ma-jig yet. The TripleQuick Fiction iPhone app.

What's that you ask? Well, simply put: stories by some of today's most exciting young writers delivered straight to your iPhone or IPod touch. With the TripleQuick Fiction app you can download new stories in seconds and read them on the go, wherever you are.

And we're not calling it TripleQuick just cause we like how it rolls off the tongue. These short shorts are only 333 words long. That's just 3 iPhone screens. You can read one in 3 minutes or less. They were all written with the mobile attention span in mind. All the featherproof goodness you've come to know from our online downloadable mini-books, in a third of the time.

Another exciting feature of TripleQuick is the ability to compose and submit your own stories, right on the iPhone. Those with the writerly inclination can just type in three screens of their best work, type in a bio, even take an author photo using the iPhone's camera, and submit the story to the featherproof editors. When inspiration strikes, don't go hunting for a paper and pen, just send it to us, on the double. Or rather, on the triple.

We're pleased to announce Mary Hamilton, co-host of the awesome Chicago reading series Quickies!, is our TripleQuick editor. If there's one thing she knows, it's flash fiction. And she has zero tolerance for boring. So your iPhone stories are in good hands.

Sure you can get all sorts of eBooks and stories on your mobile device these days, but let's go over what makes the TripleQuick Fiction app from featherproof exceptional:

- A short short form made just for reading on the go
- Exciting young talent from rising lit stars and underground web geniuses
- New stories all the time, when YOU want them
- A rating system, allowing you to find the best stories we've got
- A submission feature allowing you to compose and upload your own stories for publication
- The high quality content that distinguishes featherproof books

So, what more could you want? Oh yeah, an iPhone. Well now you have the best excuse yet: great literature compressed for the digital age.

We partnered with the awesome Aji to help with all the fancy programming stuff we can't understand. TripleQuick Fiction is available in the iTunes app store NOW! Submissions are open to users of the app. And web-wide submissions will open shortly.
