1. Forward Anywhere

   Originally written under the auspices of the Xerox PARC Artist in Residence Program, and published in 1996  by Eastgate Systems, Forward Anywhere is a hypertextual narrative written by new media poet Judy Malloy and then Xerox PARC hypertext researcher Cathy Marshall. Created when Malloy was an artist in residence at PARC, beginning in 1993, the collaborative narrative -- an exchange of the details of the lives of two women who work with hypertext -- unfolded via email over a year or so and then was somewhat fictionalizd and recontextualized into Forward Anywhere.  "...each emerges from a particular history and sensibility, Malloy's from the postwar suburbs of Boston, Marshall's from California and the sixties. To pass from one of these moments to the other is to recognize the almost-repetition of emergent or autopoetic pattern, an experience that touches something very deep in the instinctual repertoire, perhaps demonstrating that software does speak to human identity after all," Stuart Moulthrop wrote in "Where to?", Convergence 3:3, Fall, 1997: 132-38.

2. The Fugue Book

   Author description: Written in Catalan, The Fugue Book thematizes the mutability and precarious aspects of personal identity. Using "Facebook Connect," the story draws personal information about the reader and his friends (the main characters) from Facebook itself. The work combines a variety of modes, genres, and platforms: wikis, discussion forums, erotic stories, blogs, and social media. Most texts are actual email messages, which is to say that the real email of the reader is a fundamental component of the text. The multimedia structure is very simple in that it only integrates static images, parts of speech synthesis (adapted to the reader), and text. The languages of programming are ActionScript and PHP.

4. David Still :)

   This website invites its readers to take the identity of David Still, a possibly fictional character whose life is presented on the website. The reader is addressed as though he or she is David Still: "You live in a neighbourhood called The Reality (De Realiteit). No, really, you do! It may seem unusual, but all of the following is true, and you love it!" In addition to photos from David Still's childhood, readers can explore stories of his childhood memories presented as simply hypertext narratives, with just a few links. 

   The project doesn't simply ask readers to imagine being David Still, it invites us to send out emails using his email account, either using one of the provided scripts, or writing one from scratch. The website also allows readers to browse emails confused recipients of these emails have sent in reply to "David Still".

8. 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.
