"Traversing Through the Winding Road," by Ann Luu, had a few links that were linked to pages with what I felt to have meaning behind them. It also seemed like a few of the links were linked to pages or images that had to do with the word itself, or had at least the word in it. An example is the word "suffocate" which she used to in her text to describe the intense heat the character was experiencing. The link was to an article about children suffocating due to plastic bags. Another of example of how she did this was with the word "daisy." I liked this example because it linked straight to a page with meanings of every flower you can think of. This didn’t add to the story at all, but it did divert my attention away for a few seconds. With this being said, I think that it took away from the coherency, and the meaning. However, it is quite clever and a good example of thinking outside the box. Overall, I’d say that all the link-destinations were representative to the words they were linking from.<\/p>\n
Philip Miller’s incipit entitled, "Across the Dark Expanse," used links that had the word in the linked-destination. For example, the word "captain" was linked to the official web site for Captain Morgan’s rum. The word "icebreakers" was linked to Hershey.com. Hershey is apparently the maker of Icebreakers Liquid Ice breath fresheners. Other links were a little more involved such as the word "Knights." It was linked to the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Knights can be found at a renaissance festival. Overall, I didn’t feel like it took away or contributed to the story. It was still coherent to me as well. It is pretty much the same thing I did for my own incipit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
