| | Lymond at Mac.com - Notes Toward the Poetics of an Interactive Fiction |
 | | Dramatic narratives employ, perforce, the third-person narrative almost exclusively, whether it is a play (and its players) presented before, and hence, separate from, its audience; or whether it is a film, where the camera represents the invisible third-person narrator. |
 | | Narrative fictions, whether in first- or third-person, whether visual, written, or oral, take the audience out of themselves, let them identify with a life or lives other than their own. |
 | | Third, the artist must realize that interactive fiction may be a new thing, but it will derive much of its power from the very human love of the tale, which has existed since before movies, before printed books, before manuscripts, and maybe even before cave paintings. |
