I would like to get inside your head and steal your imagery

I found myself at http://directory.eliterature.org/ but didn't know which path to take. Somehow I appear at Machine Dreams & Webbed Arts by Carolyn Quertin, and everything seems alright. She discusses the fingerprint of the author, both the digital and physical fingerprint, but through the explanation of the process an artist goes through to create a piece. Her site map is fragmented but each section is simply structured. This reaffirms the idea she portrays: that the author is like a pair of greedy hands, stretching across the universe and twisting materials into a single entity - a work of fiction. Quertin is not so literal though, as can be seen in the example below from the page 'Eruption':

An eruption of the blossoming of a transformation, out of body, to regain the body. These x-rayed bones are merely the mechanics of the form.

Here, take these supple limbs, this beating heart, this twitch of the tongue, curl of the lip.

Enter with a kiss.

Her physical portrayal of the writing process is not entirely original, but is stunning in it's simplicity. Though it makes no real definitive and final point - and it can not be reprimanded for this, because it is a hypertextual piece - the reader is no doubt left with an impression on their mind.

Another work that is powerful in it's simplicity, Cipher, by Linda Carroli and Josephine Wilson, is very much a piece of dispersed fiction like the ones we worked on earlier in the year, working through e-mail messages sent between two individuals. It uses two primary colours - white and red; the two colours of the rose and symbols of love. The beginning, simply a group of photos timed to change every few seconds, was not appealing. However, the themes that dominate the latter part of the piece, and the intriguing quality of the character's - M and C - who seem to be confused by their actual location (there are suggestions that they are in Germany, Russia and Australia) is enough to keep us enthralled until the truth is discovered. The ending is quite surprising, and I expect there is nobody that has gone through and not been surprised with what they have found.

The final piece, Storyland, by Nanette Wylde seemed nonsensical at first - and I suppose it still does now, as I am inferring rather than stating - but now seems to be a group of metaphorical statments, many of which are based off biblical stories. The author announces cryptic statements and ends with a summary that forces the reader to relate characters to their actions. The truth is I can not understand many of them, even though there tends to be a repetition of structure. The hypertextual side of the piece is basic - it uses a single button to generate the story and has some animation and audio.

And so it was, or at least that's what I assume.
