HYPERTEXT: Story from Sites
It’s been done to a certain degree, is being done each time a user goes online: a story is being written following a series of plot points from hypertext link to link. But…
What if a story was consciously plotted out from web pages?
Simple example: A story called Dawn to Dusk with a starting point of a title page set up on a website, with a clickable link to an image, likely one found on Google of a dawn, then…
Okay, ran smack into my first problem: overriding the intended link found on the site. Also, overseeing the "reader’s" path or paths.
One workable method (though likely not with the Google dawn above) is to carefully select each site to ensure that it not only bears linkage to a possible narrative flow, but also that a "clue" of sorts is given so that the reader is directed or guided on a preplanned thread.
Interesting. But then again, this could also somehow be done on a single website through pages, but that’s cheating.
