E-Pressing e-Literature Into The Future: The New Modalities of Publishing, 1914-2014
The Electronic University Press (EUP) uses digital media forums, tracking systems and databases through the submission, peer-review, editorial, and distribution/promotion phases of a work. Both its catalog and the portal itself serve as a hub for e-literature, en-visioning how multimodal works may be most effectively reviewed and promoted. The goal is to realize new possibilities for literature and scholarship beyond the traditional monograph by offering more active participation from users and more flexibility and inclusiveness for scholars and reviewers. It also offers a, much needed, legitimacy to new forms of scholarship that use electronic visual and sonic media as the literary meaning, or databases, digital interfaces, and multimedia design as crucial elements of the literary or scholarly content. The rise of electronic publishing options are changing the constraints on writing with digital media. The EUP serves as a response to these difficulties by fostering monograph-equivalent digital works that use new digital formats and by building an infrastructure that aids in the evaluation of such works. EUP: Committed to E-Literature. (Source Author Abstract)

Unraveling Twine: Open Platforms and the Future of Hypertextual Literature
As the technical affordances that shaped early electronic literature’s frontiers have become commonplace, hypertextual structures abound in our experiences of online texts. Many tools make it easier than ever to generate these types of works, but one of the most interesting for its demonstrated literary potential is Twine: a platform for building choice-driven stories easily publishable on the web without relying heavily on code. In software studies, a platform is defined by Ian Bogost and Nick Montfort as a hardware or software system that provides the “foundation of computational expression.” This definition can encompass any of the tools we use to develop procedural content, as Bogost noted on his blog: “a platform…is something that supports programming and programs, the creation and execution of computational media.” Examining Twine as a case-study among current open, non-coder friendly platforms probes the future of interactive narrative on the web—a future that, outside the traditional scope of the electronic literature community, is highly determined by the affordances of platforms and the desires of their user-developers.
