Though I'd like to have a break at day #50!The 24-hour (really, half that) deadline is good discipline and though I hate posting stories that may be weak in places (including the linking) I think the next "semester" will be spent on editing and reworking.

When I entered the project Steve asked me what I wanted to learn more about, and I considered my writing strengths and needs. Character has never been a serious concern; they are either there or they get manufactured to serve the purpose. Having to rely solely on creating some script around an individual has forced me to think primarily of character development. The ones who haven't worked were obvious, because I was trying to stretch my idea across a frame instead of letting the person shape the goal. In similar fashion to your experiences with hypertext, I am discovering that there are wills and ways, and neither is necessarily mine. I have to agree with your last statement.
