In the meantime if people want to share thoughts on the present stage of writing, I would like to use this space to publish thoughts here. Recently, I have been studying some of the theories of N. Katherine Hayles. She is one of a handful of theorists who promotes many facets of digital change in writing, including collaborative writing and other forms of digital texts. I am interested to see if people think that these experiments might be a progressive or regressive step towards something, to see what people think about collaborative storytelling (is this closer to natural tendencies? Will it create wonderful things or just bad, garbled texts?) Is a proliferation of producers a good thing, as it inspires, stimulates, and adds to our collective experience, or a distracting thing, as it creates more often mediocre or poor results?
