Tom Abba's narrative

In an AHRC funded project Tom Abba created an Alternative Reality game to explore the practices of writing for this emergent form. The position of author is inevitably problematized by interactive forms as meaning is produced at various levels as the game must be written but there is a sense of determinism in play that creates a type of authorship for its player.  

Film and television have established writing forms and practices for their media and Tom expresses a desire to create one for games that may become the model.
