Storyspace: Storyspace

Remember Storyspace?

I do!

I created a hypertext story one summer about 5 years ago, and I led a group of Writing Project teachers into this hypertext space — both as writers and readers. Our main hurdles had to do with:

  • the learning curve that it took to understand the software and to overcome its bugs (especially in the Windows version)
  • the price of the software
  • the less-than satisfying ways it exported to html
  • the difficulty of sharing our stories over the Internet.
Many of the hurdles have been met by Hypertextopia. I’m excited about the possibilities this opens up for bringing hyper-textual thinking back into my curriculum.
