Today we talk and debate different thresholds for gauging interactive fiction! Where does fiction actually exist? In the medium, the mind, or both? We'll examine various examples of interactive media, including but not limited to video games, virtual reality, alternate reality games, and polysensory film. The feeling of being able to influence a work of fiction is a powerful one, as are the feelings of immersion which ancillary media elements can lend to an experience. Who do you agree with, and why? Let us know by interacting with us in the comments!
