STORYSPACE: The Hanging – Digging
What’s interesting in working within the medium is the number of points at which the writer comes into the story. While I’ve basically started this story with what may be the ending, there is the necessity of bringing in the backstory and details to develop a viable trail or trails that bring the story to this ultimate conclusion.
Basically, it’s not as much a case of asking what happened next? but rather, what might have caused this? So there are a number of episodes and ideas that can be brought to light, and they needn’t be definitive, they may be mere conjecture on the writer’s part, suggestions and guesses that give the reader the ability to decide for himself whether they are relevant.
Very different way of thinking, and hypertext is an excellent medium for the message.
