2. Hypertext Fiction in the Twilight Zone

   The first hypertext fictions were written in the early eighties, and the first commercially distributed hypertext fiction was Michael Joyce's Afternoon. A Story. It was published by Eastgate Systems in 1987 - slightly over a decade ago. I would like to take a look at hypertext fiction, its history and present, and try to make some predictions of its future.

3. Stalking the paratext: speculations on hypertext links as a second order text

   n the popular conception of hypertext as nonlinear writing, primary emphasis typically falls on the construction, character, and quantity of constituent lexias that comprise any given hypertext. This paper, however, will focus on what the text would reveal if an ordered collection were made of the links emerging from the main (first order) text. Such a collection, as a second order text or parallel text, which I propose to call the parutext, comprises the layer- world of links, of intertextual descriptors that could be subjectcd to cluster analyses that reveal aspects of cohesion, breadth, and other speculative characteristics of the first order text.
