End Matter: Interactive Narrative Play and Digital Storytelling
New modes of narrative construction developed through advanced social media and gaming platforms this past decade have brought about a transformative understanding of the very nature of storytelling. Aside from the multimodality now common to all digital narrative forms, storylines can be composed synchronously in time often at the precise point of reader or player access. These platforms effectively resituate works of fiction as performative, interactive environments for open composition. To understand better the many complex innovations in writing and reading these new formats have generated, the book focuses specifically on how digital reading practices have formally adapted to online social networking technologies, aligning storytelling with several core attributes associated with player behaviour and conflict negotiation, including competition, aggregation, assemblage, and stream-based modes of data processing.

Keywords: interactive narratives, narratology, networks, digital media, competition, aggregation, assemblage, perception
