HYPERTEXT & 100 DAYS PROJECT: Planning
This one, #30, just struck me the second I finished reading Steve’s story (I was getting ready to do a story on John’s wonderful lamp and wall image before I read it) and it’s obvious why: it’s a cliffhanger.
So I took it a step back and changed to a second person point of view, and the interactive fiction feeling snuck in there once that was in place, and of course, I came up with a touch of the Twilight Zone (God bless you, Rod Serling, may you rest in peace). All this is just sort of snowballing into a zillion ideas and paths. There’ll have to be added code into the css sheet which is starting to look longer than a roll of paper towels, and then some of the pages will need to reflect those specific codes. What I’d love to do with this piece is add images but there’s no time to take and make them. And I’d love to make the map up to look like one from IF–I’ve made do with what I have here too. And audio–Lord how I wish I could throw in the audio clips of thunder and stuff, it would really enhance this tremendously.
I’m excited by this one, as happened with some of the others. Most of ’em, I suppose.
