6. Blue Rooms

   "Blue Rooms" is my senior thesis for the Vassar College English Department. This project has been assisted by many spirit voices. I have also had much support from the living and one of those creatures is my friend, guide, mentor, and officially--my thesis advisor--Michael Joyce who invited me into this medium and taught me to swim in it. I am so grateful. Michael has far too many accomplishments to gloss here with a list. So instead of writing a pale summary I instead direct you to his homepage where you can have a look-see if you haven't already. More than words...

   The text of "Blue Rooms" was originally composed in the hypertext program that Jay Bolter and Michael Joyce created--Storyspace--which allows for complex linking and link guards (which the internet currently cannot provide) between spaces that can host images and text. Early on though, with the encouragement of Michael, I realized I wanted to dream "Blue Rooms" into the Web so that as many as possible could visit and have a look around. The Storyspace files were exported directly into html, keeping all the original text and links, and then collaged with the images.

9. Writing at the Limit: The Novel in the New Media Ecology

   While some cultural critics are pronouncing the death of the novel, a whole generation of novelists have turned to other media with curiosity rather than fear. These novelists are not simply incorporating references to other media into their work for the sake of verisimilitude, they are also engaging precisely such media as a way of talking about what it means to write and read narrative in a society filled with stories told outside the print medium. By examining how some of our best fiction writers have taken up the challenge of film, television, video games, and hypertext, Daniel Punday offers an enlightening look into the current status of such fundamental narrative concepts as character, plot, and setting. He considers well-known postmodernists like Thomas Pynchon and Robert Coover, more-accessible authors like Maxine Hong Kingston and Oscar Hijuelos, and unjustly overlooked writers like Susan Daitch and Kenneth Gangemi, and asks how their works investigate the nature and limits of print as a medium for storytelling.

10. Internet Hyperfiction: Can it ever Become a Widely Popular Artform?

    Since 1982 multilinear and interactive literature has been written in the hypertext media. Until now the authors have been obsessed with traditional literary conventions, which has often made the hypertexts seem rather academic and pretentious. But that may change. During the last five years a new breed of writers have discovered the possibilities on the Internet. They address a wider audience than lecturers and very enthusiastic bibliophiles, in a form that finds a more popular balance between traditional storytelling virtues and the more avant-garde elements. This new tendency can be observed in hyperfictions like The Unknown and on the following pages I will establish how and why it should be possible to make hyperliterature more popular than it is at the present, if writers are willing to move a little further towards the more lay readers. As an example of how this could be happening the conclusion will list what seems to be the main reasons why The Unknown to a higher degree seems to succeed when it comes to capturing the reader without losing any of the experimental edge that is still a part of hypertext due to its modest age.
