- Thanks. I'm also thinking along the lines of new fiction, written
- specifically to take advantage of the hypertext format. Maybe some
- adventure games are close to what I have in mind, though few (none?)
- have much literary merit, and they all tend to be of the same gendre.
- I'm thinking of open-ended, multipath fiction, not restricted by
- the bounds of binding or printed page. But maybe I am making assumtions:
- "Alice" could certainly be fit into the format I have in mind. I'll
- have to check it out.
-
- Tim.
