Writers have always used the net to distribute novels and poems that could appear in print. But there’s a tradition of experimenting with online forms such as email and chatrooms to tell stories that could only work online. Writers are taking this further by working with blogs. Indeed, with their short daily entries, reader feedback and links to the net, blogs seem purpose-built for creating episodic stories. Jim McClellan —How to write a blog-buster (Guardian)
This article quotes Jim Munroe, a Canadian new media artist whose work I enjoy immensely. (He made the short film “>interactive,” and just the other day I enjoyed watching his narration of scenes from Grand Theft Auto III, “My Trip to Liberty City“.)
