INTERACTIVE FICTION: Reader Involvement

To this day I cannot bring myself to write in a book; cannot highlight, notate, even enter so much as my name on the inside cover. I believe this trait was learned and born of Catholic respect for sanctity and transferred to a different god. My initial reaction to IF then is both a reflection of this background and the resulting trepidation to overcome it, and the possessive stand I take in my own writing and reluctance to add in foreign thoughts. Hopefully, “this too shall pass.”
