E-Lit in the Gutter: Applying McCloud's Transition Categories to Interactive Fiction
Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics has been a staple text in digital media classes for decades. Chapters focusing on topics such as symbolic and iconic representation, relationships between word and image, and the illustration of time provide powerful insights into the creation and interpretation of digital works. McCloud’s analysis of the visual-centric comic medium bears obvious relevance to what we create and see on the screen. For those working in interactive fiction, however, the most useful chapter may be the one dedicated to what cannot be seen. Chapter 3, “Blood in the Gutter”, examines the physical and narrative gaps between frames in a comic strip or book. These gaps, or “gutters” are the visible whitespaces between inked panes and, simultaneously, the conceptual spaces between points in a narrative. McCloud’s examination of these spaces offers valuable insights for both authors and readers of the code-triggered gaps between hyperlinked elements of an interactive fiction.

Haunting (Narrative) Architecture: The Internet in Skeleton Creek
Since digital technology began to saturate every part of society, critics have been trying to come to terms with how it has affected our culture, not least literary texts. Young adult fiction was an early responder to digital technology. Internet novels such as ttyl (2005) by Lauren Myracle, Click Here: To Find out How I Survived Seventh Grade (2006) by Denise Vega, and Tweet Heart (2010) by Elizabeth Rudnick revolve around Internet culture thematically as well as structurally: the layout of the codex often resemble chatrooms, emails, or blog posts.
