Transmedia 2.0 – Participatory Entertainment

Wait, what? 2.0? Aren’t we still figuring out transmedia 1.0? Yep. But I’m already looking beyond most of what we’ve seen in transmedia storytelling to date, which has been ‘more of the same’ in the sense that the legal and creative lines between content creators and content consumers are still very much intact for commercial […]

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

My transmedial musings conclude over at Tyler Weaver’s Multi-Hyphenate blog, with the third and final in my series on “The Beauty of Imperfection in Transmedia.” The short series explores the idea that transmedia properties, especially collaborative ones that encourage audience contribution, need to include a certain degree of imperfection-as-incompleteness in their design. Audiences need a […]

Transmedia, Commercial Entertainment, and UGC

The diagram above was inspired by a twitter exchange I had yesterday with Dan Novy about the relationship between canonical content, transmedia storytelling, and user-generated content (we also touched on how merchandising cuts across these three areas, something I’d like to explore in more detail later).

Math, Magic, and Storytelling Shell Games

A writer walks into a doctor’s office. “You gotta help me, doc. I keep hearing about everyone making money from self-publishing, and everywhere I go, someone’s trying to sell me their book.” “I see,” the doctor says, nodding. “So what seems to be the problem?” “Well, I figure if everyone’s writing a book, I should […]

Shared Story Worlds

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 […]
