Welcome!
Welcome to our blog on electronic literature! This blog is meant to be a place where we can all post our thoughts about the electronic literature we are reading, respond to the ideas that we have, and share comments, responses, reactions, and insights. I would like each of us to post at least once each day on one of the texts assigned for that day. You can give your reactions, point out features you liked or did not like, comment on the significance of the interface, give interpretations of one or more features of the text, or whatever you like. To be successful, the blog must be used. Nothing is more forlorn than an empty languishing blog, so let us make ours lively and popoulated! Looking forward to hearing from you all. Kate Hayles

Come on now, let us write!
I liked the story about horses very much..it's a bit intimitating,and scary..also the one about viruses..
I think that everything that we did by now, was very interesting,and also a bit complicated...and I don't think I could ever do it by myself
I liked the story about people in the theatre because I think it could come a good novel out of it.
I'm still new in this so...
the "windorn field" says it all: all the pasts and futures are interlocked, oversaturating our present which is why these etexts are so expressive and striking, makes you think of Jung and archetypes.
I liked the story about viruses and theatre because they involve many links and they are sort of gamelike. the virus story reminds me of treasurehunt and I will certainly read it thoroughly.
i liked the story about the horsses and the viruses, because it drives me to thinking..
Although I've found the hypertext called "Girls'Day Out" rather dark I liked it because of the things it draws from beneath.. It has a message that could be interpreted in different ways, and as it goes on it digs deeper and deeper into the layers of meaning like in the layers of dirt.. What helps the reader understand the text is the authors explanation, but it also works as a link between the poem and shards. Like any other hypertext it forses reader to become active, to think, combine, puzzle the words and the meanings..
Hypertext transformes a reader into a detective, a forensic gathering pieces of bones/ meanings on his white desk/screen..
