[creative writing and new media lecture: reading web fictions]

Hi Creative Writing and New Media Masters' Students,

Welcome to this week's lecture on reading web fiction!

I'm adding parts of a PowerPoint presentation here so you can click along as I point out ideas and explain my theory.

As we progress I'll be sharing links of sites which I think best illustrate my points. If you have any questions, please ask.



UPDATE: Some links from the lecture

Some examples of web fictions:
These Waves of Girls

Red Riding Hood


High Crimson
