While we think the Collection will still be very cool, it’s true that it won’t collect everything. Fortunately, the Collection is only one project of the Electronic Literature Organization. Since we’re interested in promoting e-lit of all sorts, including that which won’t fit into this project, we also announce new work on our website; feature work in the ELO Showcase, linking to the sites from which such work can be downloaded; and support readings and events at which people present about their work. In the past we’ve invited people to talk about their work in chats online, too.

Just a few of the ways in which the ELO is working for you…

At first I thought “Hey, I have a literary work that ‘takes advantage of the capabilities and contexts provided by the computer’”, but it looks like more substantial games with literary dimensions, like say, interactive drama, are out of the running (50MB limits, must be x-platform).
