If you dig creative writing, you’ll dig Hypertextopia.com.
Whether you are a reader or a writer, you can explore this site with curiosity and intrigue. The site seems very basic but the stories and writing techniques really pull the audience in for a closer look. Readers can lounge around in the Grand Library of this spacey site and check out stories and illustrations such as “The Astronomical Adventures of Julio Cohete” and “Valentina.” The stories are displayed in a relatively large font and are scattered with a series of “fragments”. Fragments are words that are highlighted in a bright color and connect to “enriching extra bits of text,” called shards, that are displayed next the story. Writers have a whole new ballgame to get entwined in. Writing in hypertextopia involves creating a story that includes fragments and shards in a web-like format. The fragment and shard pieces of the web can be moved around the screen and connected by links. Hypertextopia is working off of a fun, creative and risky writing format that readers and writers alike should fine intriguing.
Hypertextopia.com In Their Own Words
“This concentration explores literature from an architectural point of view, comparing the structure discovered in literary systems across languages and paradigms. I wish to study the fundamental forms of literature without regard for borders, from the epic novel to the short essay, from Spanish poetry to Ruby computer code. I approach the subject under the influence of systems theory, trying to understand the emergent properties that arise from evolving literary systems. Although the concentration can support a wide range of comparisons, in art, fiction, natural sciences, mathematics, language, and so on, I will focus on systems from the fields I am most familiar with: fiction, essays, computer programming, and the parallel structures in Spanish. I also intend to use this concentration as a laboratory by designing, building, using, and then analyzing my own variants of literary systems.”
