I'm interested in feminist criticism and narrative theory and how the two schools of
thought might be transformed upon encountering female-authored hyperfictions.

Additionally I'm interested in theories of blogging and in general how writing is
linked to living "digitally."

I welcome e-mails from others in these fields.
