Hypertext

The Secret Sharer

The hypertext site was originally designed to be different everytime the reader visited the main page. The background image would change, the text would change, and things would be added or removed. Because the story it tells deals with secrets, I wanted the site to give the reader the feeling that they weren't getting the whole story.

Because of the complexity of my orginal plan, I was forced to simplify the site and remove the aspects of the fiction that were randomized. Rather than letting the reader choose where they wanted to go, I made it so that the reader could only choose one link, and would be directed through the story in a linear way.
