1. Hypertext and Creative Writing

   This was the first public presentation of the Storyspace hypertext authoring software, which became extremely important in hypertext fiction in the early 1990s. 

   The abstract reads: "Among its many uses, hypertext can serve as a medium for a new kind of flexible, interactive fiction. Storyspace™ is a hypertext system we have created for authoring and reading such fiction. Interactive fiction in the computer medium is a continuation of the modern “tradition” of experimental literature in print. However, the computer frees both author and reader from restrictions imposed by the printed medium and therefore allows new experiments in literary structure."

It argues that Storyspace was built around a topographic metaphor and that it attempts to model human associative memory.

5. Pathfinders: Documenting the Experience of Early Digital Literature

   Pathfinders was a project that lasted from 1986 to 1995 and went through a process of documenting hypertext fiction and poetry. To document the works they videotaped each artist and two additional readers interacting with a work on its original computer platform, also called traversal. Besides the traversal videos, it also includes videos of interviews with the artists and readers of the works included, photos of the artifacts, folio covers etc. Pathfinders has also during the process striven to provide information helpful to scholars, gathering information like publication dates, versions and production methods to clear up any disagreements about this information.
