  1. Tarim Tapestry

    Tarim Tapestry is a collection of short fiction works inspired by the ancient history and folklore of the Taklamakan Desert in central Asia. It includes The Beauty of Loulan, The Witches of Subeshi, Tocharian Love Song, The Myth of Lop Nor, and Tales of the Silk Road.

    From the Electronic Literature Directory:

    In the remote Tarim basin, near the Peacock River, 4000 years ago, lived a woman who has come to be named The Beauty of Loulan.  When she was buried, she wore a middy skirt, fur boots, a woven woolen cloak decorated with long loops, and a felt and wool hood topped with a decorative feather.  Beside her was a basket containing grains of wheat – a winnowing tray covered her.

    This well-preserved mummy is part of a series of mummies discovered in the far western desert in present-day China (Xinjiang), which date from 2000 BCE to 200 CE.

  4. M is for Nottingham?

    M is for Nottingham? was an experimental project launched for the tRace Incubation 2 Conference in Nottingham, UK in 2002.  It combined an online collaborative writing project and a live drama that enacted the “mystery” that the contributors wrote at the conference.  All attendees were invited to join in the collaborative writing of the mystery story M is for Nottingham?.  Each participant could choose a character from the list of historic Nottingham personages (including Nat Turner and The White Lady).  Then the characters set about writing the story of the dead corpse (or corpus) – was the Book Dead?  And, if so, who was the murderer?

    The writing was carried on for three months before the conference.  At the conferencethe participants “played” the character they had created on stage for the entire conference attendees. It has not been possible to preserve the chat function that accommodated the writing process, but the exte3nsive website, which also provided an introduction to Nottingham history and culture, is available except for the Flash portions.

  7. Sister Stories

    Sister Stories "explores ways to be women and men. Building from the mythological story of Coyolxauhqui, sister to Huitzilopochtli, and using postmodern apposition, they reconsider the nature of telling and of reading, of being inside and outside a story, a place, a field, a history, a text."
