• Twine

  • uploaded to your website and linked from the homepage
  • has a title
  • credits you as author, somewhere
  • exhibits a thoughtful, appropriate spatial structure
  • includes some non-text content (such as embedded images, a video, etc.)
  • does not include any “dead end” pages; back to home links are nice too.
  • an about page somewhere (what are you doing and why did you do it this way?)

Haunted Hypertext is a collaborative Twine, co-authored with visitors to an IUP writing festival. The starting twine created a scenario with five difference spaces (each styled differently). Readers entered the narrative and, when they encountered a “dead-end,” were prompted to add the next passage through an embedded google form.
