My Multi-Hyphenate Guest Post on Transmedia Imperfection, part deux

My transmedial musings continue over at Tyler Weaver’s Multi-Hyphenate blog, and the second of my three posts is now up.

Audiences need a foundation and framework but also some blank space in order to meaningfully participate.

The second post looks at the MTV Valemont series and the #Cthalloween project, with comments from Nina Bargiel and Jay Bushman.

The third post will look at a final transmedia project that used imperfection to achieve the desired level of collaboration with audiences.

A History and Future of Collaborative Storytelling

This is my (un)scientific, (non-)comprehensive, and (not at all) objective overview of the rise of collaborative storytelling: how we (more or less) got here, and where we may (kinda sorta) be heading. No particular axe to grind or agenda to sell, just my observations after watching this space for a few years. Buckle up, this […]
