Start at the End: a Hypertext Fiction
This CD-based hypertext fiction is described as a tragedy, using words, music and images to "evoke three virtual spaces: the psychic space of memory, the public space of an internet mailing list (called Undertow) and the private space of a mail exchange between two people that are spearated by an ocean, a gender and a language." (from the blurb on the back of the CD).
It is only available on CD-ROM and unfortunately the CD-ROM this ELMCIP contributor can access is faulty and most files will not show.

Mythologies of Landforms and Little Girls
When I began writing Mythologies in 1995 I was thinking about gender in language and, informed by a poststructuralist feminist critique of the representation of the female body as landscape, I set out to explode these stereotypes by using over-the-top geological metaphors. I wanted to convey a moment of realization, when a number of ideas come together at once. It mattered little to me what order the ideas came in, only that they came together in the end. The narrative structure of this non-linear HTML version was influenced by the Choose Your Own Adventure books. The interface was based on the placemats you get at many restaurants in Nova Scotia, which depict a map of Nova Scotia surrounded by icons of purported interest to tourists: lobsters, whales, lighthouses, beaches and the Bluenose. The found images and texts came from a geology course I took in university, a civil engineering manual from the 1920s and a random assortment of textbooks found in used bookstores. The deadpan technical descriptions of dikes, groins and mattress work add perverse sexual overtones to the otherwise quite chaste first-person narrative.

Heartbeat
Heartbeat (1999) es una reflexión acerca del estado de percepción alterado en el que se encuentran los jóvenes adictos a escuchar esclusivamente el sonido de sus corazones, tienen pánico al silencio y por ello se sienten reconfortados refugiándose en discotecas oscuras en las que entran en un estado de trance. Los heartbeaters (latedores) siempre tienen puestos los auriculares, una tendencia común en los esquizofrénicos para no oír sus voces interiores. El hipermedia incluye imágenes del pecho de una adolescente delgadísima en sujetador escuchando los latidos de su corazón por medio de un estetoscopio. La autora Dora García utiliza el estetoscopio como símbolo de los auriculares debido a su similitud estética, para analizar cómo los jóvenes utilizan la música para poder encontrar su propia identidad y asegurarse de que al igual que su corazón late la música que escuchan confirma que están vivos.

The Tunnel People
The Tunnel People project is a work originally created for the exhibition "Metropolis", which was developed in two platforms. On the one hand the hypertext is a story of multiple paths presenting the fiction of mysterious inhabitants living in the underground. On the other hand there were a series of performances played by three actors, two men and one woman inside of trains traveling from North to South in Brussels subway. The actions and dialogues written by Dora García and performed by the actors try to awaken on the user the need to decide if the situation created by the performances can be accepted as real or if he/she has been trapped in a representation which aim is unknown. The questions that this project wants to suggest are: What is the limit of the accepted behaviourby the audience? How a strange situation can be felt as familiar? When does a conversation becomes absurd? Is it true that thruth is under the earth?

El diario del niño burbuja
El proyecto Bubbleboy fue concebido para ser realizado a partir de 100 posts, durante cien días consecutivos. Establecí, a manera de constraint oulipiano, que cada post constaría de una imagen al azar, encontrada en un buscador de imágenes y de un texto breve que de alguna manera se relacionara con la misma. El Diario del Niño Burbuja se constituyó como un texto a la deriva y en proceso, sin una trama o dirección preestablecida. Frágil e inconstante, Burbuja, está en continua amenaza de desaparición. Al igual que las burbujas flotan en un hiperespacio constituido por múltiples dimensiones, Bubbleboy habita el ciberespacio, lugar igualmente multidimensional que propone una nueva espacialidad y una nueva temporalidad sin órdenes lineales o causales precisos.

Un relato de amor desamor
Esta es una historia en la que se habla de amor. Pero también cuenta qué pasa cuando ese amor se acaba. Un chico y una chica eran muy felices hasta que dejaron de serlo. ¿Qué pasa entonces? Para explicarlo, en este relato se dan las dos versiones: la de la época feliz y la de la época del desamor. En ambas el lector podrá seguir el hilo de los recuerdos del chico, que es el ha sido abandonado. Pero este no es un relato tradicional. Los poemas de amor del chileno Pablo Neruda servirán de hilo conductor de esta narración.

The Dionaea House
The Dionaea House is a horror hypertext fiction with a plot revolving around a predatory, supernatural house which exists in multiple places at once. The work's title references the Latin name of the Venus flytrap (Dionaea Muscipula), a carnivorous plant with multiple heads which uses scent to lure in insects, that it then traps and consumes.
The Dionaea House’s story is split into multiple, loosely connected parts, each either hosted as an individual website or a blog.
The central hub of the story was hosted on a website entitled "The Dionaea House: Correspondence from Mark Condry, September 6, 2004 - October 1, 2004". This site, maintained by a fictional version of the author Eric Heisserer, is split into into two sections. The first section details a series of emails received from Mark Condry, an old friend of Eric’s who has received a newspaper clipping in the mail describing a double murder and suicide committed by another old friend, Andrew. Mark decides to investigate, but disappears after sending a series of text messages from within a house that irrevocably changed Andrew.

Psyco
"Psyco" by Felix Rémirez is about the conversation between a psychiatrist and a patient who suffers from schizophrenia. In this hypermedia the hypertext appears automatically without the reader's intervention in the reading process, the images and hypertext change rapidly and in some sequences the reader does not have enough time to read the whole story. The only option the reader can choose is clicking on underline sentences which give the reader descriptions of medical terms and information about a woman the patient was in love with. The patient explains that he is scared of some people who are at the back of the psychiatrist, the latter tries to distract him asking him to talk about the period in which he studied music. There is an open ending and the reader does not know if the patient attacks the nurse, the psychiatrist or himself at the end.
