This time we talk to Charles Deemer author of the hyperdrama plays Chateau de Mort and The Deal. I had a go at finding out how he feels about writing. See what you think. Depends on the genre. In non-fiction, hypertext permits a wonderful layering of information so that a variety of audiences can be addressed at once, from surface immediate info to deeper layers of meaning.
Speed is still an issue with hypermedia.
I did Chateau in DOS because Iris, a DOS hypertext program, was the first program I became familiar with. I get some fan letters but that's about it. So far, feedback from the net hasn't really affected my writing one way or the other. Someone figured out how many thousands of sonnets I would have to write with the networking pattern I had established. I got exhausted just thinking of it - and so quit.
