1. Galatea’s Riposte: The Reception and Receptacle of Interactive Fiction

   When I open the Spatterlight application to access “Galatea,” one of Emily Short’s many fabulous
   pieces of interactive fiction, a supple string of text hails me, flirts with me, and stops just short of

   emerge in response to my own, and whose short temper has shut down our collective story more
