Narrative ranges from campfire stories to technical manuals, from history to experimental biophysics. We’ll talk about some of the ways we think about narrative design in Storyspace and Tinderbox.
This week’s meetup will be led by frequent contributor Carolivia Herron of Howard University. Prof. Herron is the author of Thereafter Johnnie , Nappy Hair , and editor of Selected works of Angelina Weld Grimké. Her children’s book, Always an Olivia , recounts the coming of Herron’s Jewish ancestors from Tripoli to the Georgia Sea Islands. She was the librettist for the opera “Let Freedom Sing: The Story of Marian Anderson,” and she is working on a new hypertext fiction about graduate school.

Ahead of tomorrow’s meet-up and because Storyspace is less written /known about (despite bering Tinderbox’s elder sister), few Storyspace related links.
Heard of afternoon: a story or Patchwork Girl or Victory Garden? Yes, that’s Storyspace.
Fun factoid. The Storyspace app premiered at the first ACM hypertext conference HYPERTEXT’87 (Uppercase was just emphasis as back in the day screens didn’t have bold, italics , etc.). see Storyspace: Hypertext and the Process of Writing (full article is ACM members only, but see also: internet search)
My incomplete records include some 42 published papers by Mark Bernstein in the area of hypertext and narrative and associated topics. See the ‘Selected Research’ sidebar of Mark’s blog. ‘Patterns of Hypertext’ is one much cited work.
I’m sure others can add some more links for the interested or merely curious.
