100 DAYS PROJECT: #7
Schematica
This one was highly influenced by Calvino’s if on a winter’s night a traveler since Steve served up his story with the very traditional elements of arc, conflicts, complications, change, et al and for me, Calvino’s novel is as much a how-to on good writing as it is an entertaining piece of fiction. It was a good time to relearn the rules, actually make a diagram of the entire hypertext before a word of story was written. Good practice; great fun. There were some css maneuverings I wanted to do with this piece, i.e., changing background color in the boxes, but I’ll have to work on that tonight since the code insertion point is something I’ve forgotten but have elsewhere. For me, this project will help in many arenas of creative learning.

Hey, let me know if I can be of assistance with hypertext effects (HTFX :)). Peace!

This story is hilarious! I drowned within a few clicks. Love the narration; so matter-of-fact, yet very educational in terms of story formula!

Thanks, Jim. I’m getting as antsy to create new visuals and processes in these pieces as I am in doing the narrative and I don’t have much in my bag of coding tricks to display so I may be tapping your genius.
