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