Abstract

A challenge was issued to members of the hypertext research community to create a complete hypertext fiction in no more than 48 hours of work. Writers were asked to submit the work as well as short reflections on issues of craft and technique they encountered in the course of the project. We expect the results of the challenge will present an opportunity for an engaging panel that could influence hypertext writing, pedagogy and technology.
