Huge New Project: Siberia!

  

Siberia: What is it?

  People, I have a new project I'd love to share with you, but I need your help.
  Siberia is a literary miniseries of 'strange' fiction that details the crash of a strange object in the Siberian tundra, and the events surrounding it. The miniseries will be released in four blocks, each consisting of five episodes, starting in a week's time on Monday the 16th. I'm really excited about this project because of the way each episode will be presented: as a completely seperate angle of a story. Simply put, each episode will be told from the perspective of a different source, a bystander in one, radio transcripts in another, and so on. As far as I can tell, the format I've made for this writing has not really been done before, so this is a magical mystery journey we can all embark on together. While the length of each episodic story will vary, it'll probably stay within the realms of flash fiction, pleasantly short.
  What does this mean for you, and where exactly do you come in? In answer to the first question, this is some great unpublished summer reading that you can probably do in under fifteen minutes, every day of the working week. Bored at work? Lunch break? Constipation? It's time for Siberia. Fifteen minutes of information transfer from my mind to yours? Sounds cool.
  Now to the question of your help: I need two things from each and every one of you. Firstly, enjoy this thing! I don't want to write into thin air, and would love to hear your opinions by way of comments. Thought the last episode sucked? Tell me why so I can fix stuff in the next block. And so I know how each episode is doing as far as views go, click on the headline of the episode's post. That'll send you to the post's page, where views are counted.
  Secondly, please share! If you thought the episode was good, hit the Facebook 'Like' button at the bottom, or use the AddThis buttons at the bottom to share on your Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and a couple hundred other social networks. And so people know about this project, 'Like' this post! I really want this idea to get out there, and would truly appreciate your help in doing so. 
  That's really all there is to know, so on to when you actually get to read it.

EDIT (August 21, 2012): The schedule for Siberia has been changed in that it no longer will have a schedule. I will be releasing "episodes" whenever they are ready, with all the episodes hopefully being published by mid-December. That's when the deadline for the 2013 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards starts to loom, and I really want to submit this project.
