Other early examples of blogs that were discussed as possible fiction include She's a Flight Risk.
In recent years, these blogs are more likely to be on existing social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram than on independent websites.
For example, the popular show Skam had Instagram and YouTube accounts for several of the characters.
