I started this project(hypertext project) with very little knowledge of it. The only physical part is what I have from class, but i ended up not using any of it. Then i started one in story space and found out that there is a file size limit on the demo. It worked up to 12 spaces and to me that isn’t enough to make a decent hyper text story. So now I am on hypertextopia. Basically to go from space to space I just picked one word and then described the coralation of the selected word and the subject of the box. Some are short and funny like a joke type deal. My method to create this is to be almost making a very short but increadably detailed story. And from a little story you will get to know the person(main character) very well and where they came from and where they may be heading. Most of the people I made in my hyper text are friends. It was the most basic thing i could do to make it more believable for my self. As I go further i would like to create an almost drama situation between the characters. For example say that Carl is seeing someone other than his wife, and that gets said in tear1 of his story. and then later on in tier 7 of Lisa’s story say that she is seeing a guy but she thinks that he is hiding something. Then in Jackie’s story say that Carl is her husband in tier 15. So to get the full effect of the entire hyper text story you will have to read everyones story but if you read just one you will be able to get a small snip of the over all drama.In conclusion I started hyper texting with a dislike for it over all. Now although i dislike reading it, I like writing it. I like being able to read one story and get it all in one shot and not being afraid I missed something by not reading something. But I love the posibilitys of hypertext by reavealing information at difrent stages of the story. When I had trouble would try to figure it out but when I got stuch for more than 30min such as story space I would email Steve Ersinghau.
