Short stories and poems have been, and still are, popular with readers and writers in the Gulf. They are distributed through websites, e-publishers, blogs, Twitter, Tumblr, forums and performed on YouTube. Online literary production shares similarities with traditional storytelling popular in the Gulf, but is also an enabler for a new degree of freedom and author-reader interaction.
