Feb. 24th, 2002 12:25 amSo, for my English Honors degree, I am instead of the usual 40-page research paper doing a roughly equivalently-extensive creative project. I plan on it being online, or at least computer-based. I have made several hypertexts in the past, but this is far more ambitious than anything I have attempted.
I have decided to do it in the form of a suite of short stories. However, I have many ideas, and no faith that any one idea will be enough. So I have a few I'm going to concentrate on, and I'm wondering which way to go.
Overall, there will be a theme dealing mostly with the idea of self-discovery. I had thought it might be cool to have a range of genres, from my father's nonfiction account of his Vietnam experience to either a science-fiction tale of space piracy or a way-out fantastical tale of dragons and spirit-creatures and sort of magic, with a rare (for me) jaunt into realistic fiction in the middle.
So, what do you all think? You get to vote, since I can make polls. Maybe I'll include this in the thesis too. Whee!
