One of the good reasons to go to Paris before June;
the weather is not one (yet).
I've been thinking a bit on how to use
weblog to tell a story another way. Googling for it, I obviously found
Interactive Fiction.
If you feel like starting writing
asap
first choose a language and then
design;
a few
standard plots.
Apart from the
classical entertainment, IF can be used for teaching:
the
central site for using IF in school
(and the
proof that even google can have bad data in its cache)
An
shorter version by the same author.
others possibilities: teaching
ESL (or any other languages (
FL
E)) with
IF You can
buy the Masterpieces of Infocom
here.
As for the weblog usage, so far, I've only imagined the standard
he said/she said (
the link has nothing to do with it, I just liked the logo) or a modern version of
Les Liaisons Dangereuses. I still have to find or create a good exemple of a web/weblog story where the hyperlinks and the structure is more interesting than the simple text. Maybe using
Parody and
