Is it just me or does everyone feel like they need some sort of translator in order to understand what’s going on in the reading?
I mean, I feel like I’m reading a different language here!!!Despite having no idea what was actually said in the readings (even after reading them) I’m going to share some of the points I took away.

. In some fictional webs, readers build or discover one main narrative.

. The author has two choices either compound their power of storytelling, or share it with readers.

. Every digital narrative does not always take the form of hypertext

. Power of the author vs. power of the reader in hypertext fiction

. Hypertext challenges concepts of narrative linearity

. Hypertext calls in to question;  fixed sentence, definite beginning and ending.

. In hypertext narrative, the reader can choose their route – following character, image, action..

. Readers can become reader-authors and may interfere with story, introduce elements, open new paths, interact with characters or author.

. Authors usually prefer authorial power or reader disorientation, or both.

. Some writers think that hypertext fiction should necessarily change our experience of the middle, but not of beginnings.

. Coover believes that “endings will and must occur”.

This clip illustrates the power that hyperfiction has. It is also used across many advertising campaigns. The audience is now becoming more and more immersed in this world.
