I am in a group with Tammy. She is a very cool and creative nonfiction writer.

I am a creative fiction writer (although, I'll pretty much go for anything creative.)

We have decided on a major idea/concept for our project.

I am going to write a short story (most likely flash fiction: a really short short story that gets to the point quickly and puts a large emphasis on conciseness), and Tammy is going to review and comment on it.

That part of the project will show off both of our awesomely different talents.


In order to make this project into an interactive fiction piece, we are going to link her reviews and comments directly to each other through links on specific words and phrases. This way, a reader will be able to read through my story, and take many different paths throughout that lead to her nonfiction response.

At that point, the readers' views of my work will be different depending on which links they followed and when. In other words, Tammy's views will change or strengthen the views of the readers depending on when each individual diverges from the story to follow a link.

Readers will also be given the option of reading her reviews first, then following links in the reviews that lead to my work.


We will span our project across both of our websites so that a reader can go to Tammy's first and begin interacting from her responses to my story, or a reader can begin on my page.

In short, there will be a clear beginning and a clear finish to our project. However, it is up to the reader to decide which end is which and in what order the middle will be read.
