1. Figurski at Findhorn on Acid

   Richard Holeton's Figurski at Findhorn on Acid is a hypertext novel released for Storyspace by Eastgate publishers in 2001. The story follows the main character Frank Figurski’s quest to acquire a legendary mechanical pig. As Alice Bell points out, this was one of the last major hypertext works created using Storyspace, as authors began to move to web-based tools and CD-ROM based platform became outmoded (150).

   Background:

   Holeton's hypertext work originated as an award-winning short story “Streleski on Findhorn on Acid" published in 1996 (Grigar et al). That same year, he took part in Robert Kendell's online writing class "Hypertext Poetry and Fiction" at the The New School for Social Research, where he reworked the print story into an electronic text. He produced a novel-length draft for his masters thesis at San Francisco State University; it was the first electronic thesis approved by SFU (Grigar et al). The "canonical" version of Figurski at Findhorn on Acid was released on CD-ROM by Eastgate publishers in 2001.

4. Start at the End: a Hypertext Fiction

   This CD-based hypertext fiction is described as a tragedy, using words, music and images to "evoke three virtual spaces: the psychic space of memory, the public space of an internet mailing list (called Undertow) and the private space of a mail exchange between two people that are spearated by an ocean, a gender and a language." (from the blurb on the back of the CD).

   It is only available on CD-ROM and unfortunately the CD-ROM this ELMCIP contributor can access is faulty and most files will not show.

5. Un relato de amor desamor

   Esta es una historia en la que se habla de amor. Pero también cuenta qué pasa cuando ese amor se acaba. Un chico y una chica eran muy felices hasta que dejaron de serlo. ¿Qué pasa entonces? Para explicarlo, en este relato se dan las dos versiones: la de la época feliz y la de la época del desamor. En ambas el lector podrá seguir el hilo de los recuerdos del chico, que es el ha sido abandonado. Pero este no es un relato tradicional. Los poemas de amor del chileno Pablo Neruda servirán de hilo conductor de esta narración.

6. Desde aquí

   This hypertext fiction presents three characters: Sofía, Mara and Carlos. Through a poetical language full of metaphors and philosophical thoughts the reader clicks on links to follow the fragmented and disorganized story. The story is incomplete and open to the reader's interpretation. Why Sofía wants to abandon her life? Mara and Carlos have a relationship but what is the relationship between Sofía and Carlos? Why are they so depressed when they think about the past? The readers must find the answers (Maya Zalbidea Paniagua)

7. Ted the Caver

   Ted the Caver is a gothic hypertext fiction piece regarded as one of the earliest examples of 'creepypasta' or online horror legend. Published to the free Angelfire web hosting service in early 2001, it’s presented as the authentic hypertextual diary of a man called Ted and documents his exploration of a 'mystery' cave system. During publication, Ted the Caver gained broad popularity. Although this has since waned, it continues to be shared among those who discuss gothic experiences (Taylor, 2020).

   Ted the Caver has been credited with pioneering two foundational aspects of online horror fiction—the use of real-time updates and the use of hyperlinks, the latter of which gave the work "a distinctive digital quality that could not have been reproduced on paper" (Crawford, 2019).
