commented on a project updateIt could be cool to ask/allow fans to write fill-in scenes - kind of like fill-in animation, using your written story as the keyframe - that would augment the text. For instance, with Mr Penumbra, I would have loved to write a fill-in scene where the narrator actually asks Kat out. Maybe they use some of his severance money to take a trip somewhere! Or a little background story on, say, Elzevir, or about how Google built their crystal palaces. Like fan fic - plus.

commented on a project updateFirst of all, we need to build in the "open a new tab" UI into the multimedia e-book of the future. Imagine if, at a certain point in reading a book, it popped open an alternate window, while the text (and whatever other media) kept going along? It's too late for us to realize the aesthetic possibilities of the pop-up ad; we can't lose this chance. Second, if you really did open a tab when Robin started reading, you miss out; he gives a sheepish grin and then stares off into space reading his text. It's a little bit like having a conversation with someone after they've just looked at the Aleph.

commented on a project updateIt's the lesson of "The Purloined Letter"! The only way to truly hide something is to hide it in plain sight.
