I spend the vast majority of the class time exploring implemented interactive narrative forms. I know when Janet Murray teaches Interactive Narrative, she spends more time on precursors and incunabular forms (like Groundhog Day).

I see she collaborated with Richard Lachman. Small world — we hired Richard at PF.Magic a year or two later straight out of school; I worked with him on some of the later versions of <i>Petz</i>.

Also, you don't have to make up an anti-spam email address to post here. You can just omit an email address - like the URL, it's optional.

Unless we allow "anonymous comments" (no name required, either) the email address is required. And for now I'd like to leave the settings so as to require a name, sicne I find that reasonable. Any email address you enter - fake or real - will only be available to the drivers if you also include a URL of yours, which you're welcome to do, as long as your name isn't Cheap Levitra.
