The literary corpus should increase. 2. The text should be the focus, the story should not be hidden with special effects that can be of no interest at all. 3. There must be professional criticism on digital works. (Literatura digital. Cul de Sac, 2012). This collection facilitates and disseminates the literary production, research and events related to electronic literature in Spanish language from the last seventeen years.
