Any “narrative” today, to be commercially viable, will have to be “written” for the full spectrum of storytelling demanded by the evolution of web production and distribution. Stories must be full spectrum narratives, able to fit themselves to tellings as videogames, comics and graphic novels, traditional novels, feature film and television and Internet productions (live action or animated). And all these iterations of a core story will be subject to constant fan comment for revision and extension. This is the brave new world that Dickens would have embraced as liberating rather than destructive of his authorship, the tool of “reader” feedback having now become an instantaneous and continuous global information stream that will propel forward those who learn to navigate it, and drown those who fear a “loss of control” in uncharted waters.
