STORYSPACE & PROJECTS: Tying up Loose Ends

December 29th, 2007 by Susan

Needed to get away from this project for a few days because I really want to finish it up and maybe start on something new. 

But have I taken it as far as it can go?  Even if the story sucks it should be complete (suck completely?) before I shelve it and move on.  My concern here has been that in twisting the story to fit into the hypertext environment (not a big problem since it was made for this) I still feel that I haven’t used the concept of hypertext to its full potential.  To do this, however, messes the narrative up–or so I think.  Maybe I just don’t truly understand what I’m doing, or maybe my view of hypertext is not completely faithful to its purpose, I don’t know. 

I think that I’m just going to let this one do what it wants to do naturally, and where the hypertext helps and enhances, it truly does.  But where it’s not going to work to help the story above making it a reader’s choice for paths, I’m going to avoid forcing it to fit the mold.
