Abstract
At the forefront of narrative innovation are social media channels—speculative spaces for creating and experiencing stories that are interactive and collaborative. Unlike the print interactive fiction environment in which both authoring and reading are often solitary endeavors—the author creates the linked spaces, the reader works her/his way through them—social media offers a space that encourages collaboration. Unlike digital interactive fiction environments in which readers create their stories within an already structured world, social media offers an open-ended environment in which readers can keystroke plotlines and together with colleagues and friends, as well as with strangers, create stories.

Barthes uses “scripted” rather than “authored” to remove the semblance of authority given to the writer of a text.
