Hypertext fiction is a [[genre]] of interactive literature that uses hypertext links to direct the reader into sometimes complex, passages throughout the story. These hypertext links can also lead the reader to analogous images. Some hypertext fiction stories are scripted in a fashion that the reader can have a different encounter each time the story is read. The reader will not not follow a continuous path, but will experience the story like one trying to solve a puzzle or follow a map. The reader is given links to explore, each time selected, creating a new experience.

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 by floppy disk through a small community of writers.
