Hypertext Fiction is a genre of interactive literature that uses hypertext links to direct the reader into sometimes complex passages throughout a story. These hypertext links can also lead the reader to analogous images. Some hypertext fiction stories are scripted in a fashion that allows the reader to have a different encounter each time the story is read. The reader does not follow a continuous path, but, instead, experiences the story on an interactive basis, as one trying to solve a puzzle or follow a map. The reader is given links to explore, creating a new experience when new directions are chosen.
Hypertext Fiction began circulating in the late 1980’s via floppy disk through a small community of writers.
