We are excited to show you our first "Tell Me a Fable" Twitter special event in its entirety! At FableVision Studios, we believe storytelling can be done effectively in many different formats, so we were excited to take on the task of telling a social media generated story through social media itself. After asking our @FVStudioBoston followers to submit ideas for a story they'd like to have told by our team, we fell in love with one about a little boy who creates a robot to do his chores (submitted by @Blast_Fantastic)! The resulting fable below was written by Production Assistant Jordan Persson, and illustrated by Lead Artist Renee Kurilla. We tweeted the fable out over the course of a week, two tweets a day. It gave FableVisionaries a unique way to collaborate in a new medium. This is our first #tellmeafable so be sure to follow us at @FVStudioBoston so you can submit your own fable idea for the next round. Check out the whole thing in its entirety below. Enjoy!
(1/1) Ben was too busy for school and chores. He had comics to read and rockets to lose. #tellmeafable twitter.com/FVStudioBoston…

(2/2) So, he did the only logical thing: he built a robot replica of himself. #tellmeafable twitter.com/FVStudioBoston… — FableVision Studios (@FVStudioBoston) March 25, 2013
(1/2) The Ben-Bot fooled everyone! It got good grades (but not TOO good) and cleaned the house. #tellmeafable twitter.com/FVStudioBoston…

(2/2) Without commitments, Ben played and explored. #tellmeafable twitter.com/FVStudioBoston… — FableVision Studios (@FVStudioBoston) March 26, 2013
(5/10) That weekend, as Ben spied from his treehouse, his friends interrupted Ben-Bot's lawn mowing. #tellmeafable twitter.com/FVStudioBoston…

(6/10) "Let's play catch," they said. "Sure," replied the bot. #tellmeafable twitter.com/FVStudioBoston… — FableVision Studios (@FVStudioBoston) March 27, 2013
(7/10) Watching them run, Ben was lonely and bored. He wanted his life back. #tellmeafable twitter.com/FVStudioBoston…

(8/10) That night, he sat Ben-Bot down and reached for its power switch… #tellmeafable twitter.com/FVStudioBoston… — FableVision Studios (@FVStudioBoston) March 28, 2013
(9/10) …Then Ben reconsidered. "You know," he said, "SOMEONE has to read all these comics." #tellmeafable twitter.com/FVStudioBoston…

(10/10) "I've had my fill of hanging out -- it's your turn now." #tellmeafable twitter.com/FVStudioBoston… — FableVision Studios (@FVStudioBoston) March 29, 2013
