Heart of Iron and For Whom the Bell Tolls were tiktok serial sketches! There is No Antimemetics Division was a bunch of loosely connected SCP stories originally posted to Twitter (i believe?) Good Morning, Goodnight is a collection of Lin Manuel Miranda's good morning/goodnight posts on Twitter, and Letters to the Pumpkin King collects a bunch of Seanan McGuire's tumblr writings!
if you're open to more recs, we used to live here by marcus kliewer was originally an r/nosleep post (and it's also really good! :D)
