Hypertext stories that make heavy use of text transformations - an IFDB Poll

by Bruno Dias
RSS Feed

I'm looking for hypertexts that make heavy use of stretchtext and related effects to tell their story - Links that add, remove, or alter text within a passage. Swan Hill for instance makes heavy use of this, and my own work does too, but I want a bigger breadth of examples to look at for... a thing.
