English 344 Website
I haven't decided exactly what I wanted to do for my remix project. I am thinking about doing a mock website that would advertise a fake community. This would tie into the short story that I am doing for my final project.

On Electronic Literature
Another piece that I enjoyed was
in the white darkness by Reiner Strasser and M.D. Coverley. This piece intrigued me because it was a representation of how we retrieve memories. Each dot you could click on would slowly reveal a picture or words or sometimes make a sound. The use of color was beautiful. All the memories were pastel and would begin out of focus and bright, which really helped me see how they were trying to portray the remembering of memories.
I've enjoyed looking at this side of writing, that isn't just words on a paper. I thought at first it would be constricting to the reader, like it might limit the reader's imagination and therefore, ability to connect to the story. But I definately felt otherwise after exploring these pieces.
