Games give you control over a character and his or her actions and they allow you to experience a story as an active participant and to engage in cooperative play. If we look back, collaborative, interactive storytelling has already played a significant role in human history. Within that history, the fairy tale stands out as having the longest reach–surviving numerous incarnations, translations, and renderings.

Some of what we’ll read will be text (essays, articles, features, memoir, reflection and opinion pieces, and poems) some of it will be interactive or auditory (games, spoken word, podcasts, music) some if it will be visual or hybrid in form (memes, documentary, visual art) – All of it will be narrative.
