And, in terms of meeting some folks in the wider field, if you can get out to Brown this fall you should check out the Interrupt gathering Nick posted a link to today.

I'll look into those schools and programs. Know of any in Oregon by any chance? And I'll definitely submit my hyperfiction. Thanks for all the information. Awesome.

And I’ll definitely submit my hyperfiction. Thanks for all the information.

Please do! As for graduate programs on the west coast -- well, of course, I'd suggest UC Santa Cruz. The DANM program there would be a way to work with Michael and yours truly. Another option would be UCSD, where you could work with cool writers (like Anna Joy Springer, who combines text and image) and the broad group of digital arts faculty. Or maybe UCLA, which recently hired Brian Kim Stefans, and which has an impressive group of digitally-oriented faculty in its Design | Media Arts program. Actually, I could keep going. It's good to realize there are quite a few options around these parts... Joel, my understanding is that anyone can submit to The Future of Writing. Please do!

I have developed a hyperfiction piece (about half of it is currently implemented online), that I would like to submit if possible. Also, I think this blog is awesome. I wish I'd found it a couple years ago, it might have made me a little more up-to-date on e-Literature than I am now. I feel like I'm several years behind theoretically and technologically. Any advice for someone who wants to continue to pursue study and experimentation in such a field, such as some good graduate programs on the west coast? -Joel www.ninjapancakes.com/hyperfiction.htm Can someone currently unaffiliated with UC Irvine make a submission?
