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 is a [[genre]] of interactive literature that uses hypertext links to direct the reader into sometimes complex passages throughout a story.
