1. 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.

4. Cloe

   Cloe is a final academic project from Universidad de Navarra, it is a digital well-narrated story, it uses a contemporaneous interface that combines texts, chat sessions, email simulations, images and intimate reflections while it tells the depression of an adolescence that, little by little, is able to get out of herself. The story deepens into the psychological portrait of the characters, a loneliness within the great city, with a background of dark colors of melancholic sadness.

5. Pentagonal: Incluidos tú y yo

   Pentagonal: incluidos tú y yo by Carlos Labbé is a hypertextual short story that starts with newspaper news in which some words are liks to other fragments of the text. With the exception of the first screeen the rest of the interface is text with links. It combines quotations, science (astronomy) and the story with short fragments quite disorganized. It is difficult for the reader to build the structure of the narrative and he/she can lose interest after certain jumps.

7. El postrero deseo de Eugenia Villasans

   El lector se encuentra, en un primer nivel de lectura con una carta de Eugenia Vilasans, que se superpone a una fotografía en sepia de ella. La carta fue escrita en 1926 y permaneció escondida hasta que muriera la autora, quien confiesa la historia de su adulterio. Después de esta introducción, un link invita a acudir al escritorio de Vilasans para recomponer la historia, en donde se exponen, a modo de papeles sueltos, los fragmentos dispersos. La imagen resulta una buena metáfora del hipertexto. Postales, recortes de periódicos, hojas de diarios personales con diferentes fechas, cartas del amante, conforman la trama. Un relato epistolar que debe ensamblarse con un puzzle.

9. Perspectivas y problemas de la narrativa hipertextual

   Este artículo presenta los aspectos innovadores y los problemas de la ficción hipertextual. La novela hipertextual de múltiples autores presenta el siguiente problema: la noción del autor en la época postmoderna se disuelve con la múltiple autoría y el copyleft. El tiempo del discurso no es necesariamente lineal, porque no hay modo de escapar de la secuencialidad en el signo lingüístico, ni siquiera en la linealidad fragmentaria de Rayuela podríamos aproximarnos a la linearidad de un relato hipertextual, poque se trata de una realidad polifónica, de múltiples voces. Como consecuencia, la principal característica de una novela de estas características es la polidiacronía.

10. Una contemporánea historia de Caldesa

    Inspired from “La Tragedia de Caldesa” by Joan Roís de Corella, Valencian writer of the 15th century. This contemporary tragedy is about the sad love story of four lives in the same night: Joan, Caldesa, Roís and Aurora suffer from love. In this work , the reader is not free to choose what he/she wants to read the moment he/she wants to read it. On the contrary, his/her position is that of a spectator flying over the characters lives and is able to know what happens but he/she cannot stop their lives or delay the events that are told. The digital format takes control (Source: Biblumliteraria).
