Welcome!

Until I get my gallery space (see below) you'll just have to be satisfied with some low-octane HTML. Check out any of my three pieces. Arranged in order from simplest and shortest to longest and most complex:

  • Victory- a short story involving floral mechano-genetic engineering, child abuse, and what passes for love.
  • Street- a decentralized futuristic cyberpunk narrative concerning gangs, drugs, and nostalgia for National Geographic.
  • Forest- an ourboretical arboreal allegory with over a hundred different branches. Twisted Little Red Riding Hood remix.

Current Project

The Next Phase of Hyperfiction

Right now I'm teaching myself PHP. The goal in mind is to transform my current seperate hyperfiction projects into one cohesive environment that reacts to the reader, and remembers the reader. I figure that's something nobody's doing, and is the next logical step. So I'm doing it! Click on the link and I'll tell you some more about it.

Newest Thought- Website Redesign

I'll admit, my motivations are mercenary. I've been doing hyperfiction for about two or three years now, but relatively in secret. That is, I have had little to no exposure into the "general public" that is the highly elite and rarified group of actual hyperfictionistas or their loyal readers.

Well I'm going to change all that! It's time to make my entrance. So I redesigned my website, did some SEO optimization, the whole dance. Let's get some people moving through here! I'm currently designing code that takes hyperfiction to the next level of interactivity, but in order to really do the whole Web 2.0 social thing, people have to know about what I'm doing!
