From Lexias to Remediation: Theories of Hypertext Authorship in the 1990s
How electronic-writing technologies will affect authorship remains an
important issue in hypertext theory. Theorists agree that the author’s function
has changed and will continue to change as writing migrates from the page to
the screen, but they disagree on the specifics of how print-based and
hypertext-based authorship differ and whether this digital migration constitutes a radical break from the age of print. Early hypertext
advocates, writing in the early 1990s, claimed that naviagational features, such
as hypertextual links, transfer a large degree of textual control from writers
to readers, thus blurring the distinction between the role of the author and
that of the reader. More recently, theorists began to dispute the idea that the
hypertextual reading experience was necessarily more creatively empowering than
reading a printed book. Exploring the arguments of influential hypertext
theorists, this paper traces developments in hypertext theory in the United
States during the 1990s. It describes how poststructuralism has informedEric Dean Rasmussen - 11.03.2011 - 12:51

Stitching Together Narrative, Sexuality, Self: Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl
Landow, who praises Patchwork Girl as "the finest hypertext fiction thus far to have appeared," appreciates Jackson's mastery of hypertextual collage, which reveals, he suggests, how analogous techniques are at play when we conceptualize our gendered identities. (Source: Eric Dean Rasmussen)

Stitch Bitch: the Patchwork Girl
It has come to my attention that a young woman claiming to be the author of my being has been making appearances under the name of Shelley Jackson. It seems you have even invited her to speak tonight, under the misapprehension that she exists, that she is something besides a parasite, a sort of engorged and loathsome tick hanging off my side. May I say that I find this an extraordinary impertinence, and that if she would like to come forward, we shall soon see who is the author of whom.
Well? Well?
Very well.
I expect there are some of you who still think I am Shelley Jackson, author of a hypertext about an imaginary monster, the patchwork girl Mary Shelley made after her first-born ran amok. No, I am the monster herself, and it is Shelley Jackson who is imaginary, or so it would appear, since she always vanishes when I turn up. You can call me Shelley Shelley if you like, daughter of Mary Shelley, author of the following, entitled: Stitch Bitch: or, Shelley Jackson, that imposter, I'm going to get her.

These Waves of Memories: A Hyperfiction by Caitlin Fisher
The web-based ‘hypermedia novella’ These Waves of Girls by Caitlin Fisher won the first prize in the fiction category awarded by the Electronic Literature Organization in 2001. In this article I’ll take a closer look on some of the aspects of this work, a confessional autobiography about a girl coming to terms with her lesbian identity. The article is structured around a set of relations: the relation between the critic and the work; textual and audio-visual representation; personal and social relations; hypertextual structure and autobiographical, unreliable narration. These Waves is a class-room example of the so-called associative hypertext. The hypertextual structure is also closely linked to the problematics of autobiographical narration.. As readers we get to ponder about the nature of remembering, of telling stories about one’s life. One of the genuine accomplishments of Fisher’s work is to bring forth these questions in a tangible, and still discreet, way.
