“…NLS and Hyperscope used viewspecs to allow documents to be opened from a specific link in a specific view (for example, with line numbers, or content filtering) [68]. The destination was typically swapped in to replace the source, but in later windowing systems they could also open up new windows and display the destination as well as the source, what Rosenberg calls conjunctive rather than disjunctive linking [168], and which Bernstein identified as a montage pattern [23]. The more complex links in OHSs allowed these systems to support n-ary links with arbitrary numbers of source and destination anchors [4].…”

What is Hypertext? It has been studied and explored for over 50 years but a complete definition seems ever more elusive. The term is invoked in multiple communities, and applied in radically different domains, but if we cannot reconcile the different perspectives then we will be unable to learn from our shared history, or from each other in the future. In this paper we argue that the longevity and variety of hypertext work makes a simple definition impractical. Instead we suggest different contexts in which hypertext work has been conducted, and then attempt to draw out the relationships and commonalities between them. We describe seven contexts drawn from the literature: Hypertext as a Tool for Thought, as Knowledge Representation, as Social Fabric, as Literature, as Games, as Infrastructure, and as Interface. We argue that these are connected by a common requirement for non-regularity, driven by post-structuralist philosophy, and enshrining existentialist values in our technology. It is the application of these ideas to different problems that gives rise to current Hypertext, as we see the same technical features, and engineering and creative challenges, manifest in otherwise quite different digital domains.

“…Mason and Bernstein point out the poetic impact of where we choose to split our lexia, and the different narrative functions of links (to timeshift, recurse, renew, or annotate) [24], all of which could be counted as mechanical variations. It also represents a view of links as a disjunction, choices between alternative lexia, whereas they have also been conceptualised as a conjunction where following a link elaborates the narrative but does not cut off other choices [30]. An example would be fluid links [37] where the destination text is expanded in place, shifting aside the current lexia rather than replacing it.…”

The relationship between hypertext research and games design is not clear, despite the striking similarity between literary hypertexts and narrative games. This matters as different communities are now exploring hypertext, interactive fiction, electronic literature, and narrative games from different perspectives-but lack a common critical vocabulary or shared body of work with which they can communicate. In this paper I attempt to deconstruct the relationship between literary hypertext and narrative games. I do this through two lenses. Firstly, by looking at Hypertext as Games; with a specific set of mechanics based around textual lexia and link-following (but with a tradition of exploring alternative Strange Hypertext approaches) resulting in a dynamic of exploration and puzzle solving depending on whether agency is expressed at the level of Syuzhet or Fabula. Secondly, by looking at Games as Hypertexts; that depend heavily on textual content, use guard fields, patterns, and sculptural hypertext models to manage agency, that experiment with aporia and epiphany, and that take place within a wider interlinked transmedia experience. This analysis reveals that Narrative Games are both more and less than Hypertext, with a wider set of mechanics and interfaces, but possessed of a core hypertextuality and situated within a greater hypertext context. This suggests that there is much value to be gained from interactions between the communities invested in interactive narrative, and significant potential in the cross-pollination of ideas. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Hypertext / hypermedia; • Applied computing → Computer games.

“…As a counterexample it is worth considering the world of literary hypertext. Writers such as Rosenberg have contemplated the aesthetics of link types and e ects [32], while others have explored the impact of textual nodes on overall coherence and experience [28], and seminal pieces, such as Michael Joyce's 'afternoon, a story' have been analysed critically [34].…”

In a location-based story a reader's movement through physical space is translated into movement through narrative space, typically by presenting them with text fragments on a smart device triggered by location changes. Despite the increasing popularity of such systems their poetics are poorly understood, meaning limited guidance for authors, and few authoring tools. To explore these poetics we present a cooperative inquiry into the authoring of an interactive location-based narrative, 'The Isle of Brine', set on the island of Tiree. Our inquiry reveals both pragmatic and aesthetic considerations driven by the locations themselves, that a ect the design of both the Story (narrative structure) and Fabula (events within the story). These include the importance of paths, bottlenecks, and junctions as a physical manifestation of calligraphic patterns, the need for coherent narrative areas, and the requirement to use evocative places and to manage thematic and tonal discord between the landscape and the narrative.
