I had the most uncanny feeling while watching, like I was staring at the future through a broken pane of glass. I felt that same feeling while reading this interview with science fiction writer and alternate reality game designer, Sean Stewart. I'm not going to explain any more than that. Just read the interview. It will give you enough storytelling ideas to last an entire month, and offers a glimpse into the fantastic possibilities writers have with the web. Three cheers for Jim Hanas, the genre-bending journalist who delivered the interview.
Pay attention when Sean Stewart says:
"One of the things that we do that I think will continue at some level is platform independent stories. They might be in print, they might be in film, they might be on the web, they might be a cellphone message. The story doesn’t care. A kid who’s 15 now, in 10 years—when they’re 25—their cellphone will be their TV, their computer, their phone, their whatever. It will be pointless to say, 'I only do the kind of storytelling that happens between a printed page.'"
