  YouTube Live Chat 

  Because Traversals are all streamed live via YouTube, the lab takes advantage of the chat feature offered by the network to provide a forum for the audience to make comments and ask questions. The chat is then saved and added to this book as part of the Traversal archive. The Traversal can be watched on YouTube here.

  hi!
  
  Electronic Literature Lab
  check out the ell site for the image of the cigar box and glass
  
  Holly June
  It is very cool
  
  Electronic Literature Lab
  Isn't it?
  
  Holly June
  Thank you, Greg!

  Love the map visuals!
  
  Holly June
  Producing a Traversal at a distance comes with some quirks, but we keep on rolling :)
  
  Holly June
  Me too, Matthew. The story map is absolutely my favorite feature of Storyspace works. I love the way artists experimented with form and spatial relationships.
  
  Richard Snyder
  I think the quirks are useful parts of the experience!

  Lovely quote about Quibbling from the Eastgate website:
  
  Matthew Hannah
  "Despite all the compelling electronic sidewalks of links sliding and gliding us along, hypertext still requires the same thing of us,"
  
  Matthew Hannah
  "that we traverse the little leaps -- and the giant ones -- necessary to make sense of our lives, that is to make a story, to write ourselves."
  
  Mariusz Pisarski
  Insightful quote.... whose?
  
  Matthew Hannah
  "Traverse the little leaps" seems apropos of Traversals, no?
  
  Mariusz Pisarski
  Yes. This might then hint to Stuart Moulthrop as the author of this quote.
  
  Holly June
  I think it may actually be Carolyn's own quote.
  
  Mariusz Pisarski
  Absolutely possible!

  There was a German review of Quibbling in Dichtung Digital. It was titled "Riddling the reader". Are you riddled?
  David Sabrowski
  I had always heard that about walking from teachers but never knew there was a song
  
  Holly June
  Beautiful.
  
  Holly June
  Thank you Carolyn.
  
  Matthew Hannah
  Thank you!!!

  I wish I could have been on from the beginning but I enjoyed what I experienced
  
  Holly June
  The recording will be up on this YouTube channel if you'd like to catch the beginning later!
  
  David Sabrowski
  I'm curious about how this relates to the history of e-books. could this be considered an early ebook?
  
  Electronic Literature Lab
  that is a great insight
  
  Electronic Literature Lab
  she references so many influential women writers of the period
  
  Electronic Literature Lab
  David, no, because ebooks are not interactive
  
  David Sabrowski
  That makes sense
  
  Electronic Literature Lab
  Think of e-lit as PIE: participatory, interactive, and experientila
  
  Matthew Hannah
  I loved the "wave" image on the cover. It reminded me of woven cloth, which seemed a fitting metaphor for hypertext. How hard is it to craft a narrative of threads meant to be read as hypertext?
  
  Kathleen Zoller
  I'm interested in how the waves of water symbolize the interactions between human beings--- fluid, unpredictable, interconnected? It's a beautiful metaphor
  
  Matthew Hannah
  Cinematic experience is a cool narrative theory here
  
  Holly June
  That lexia about waves can be read at the link above
  
  Mariusz Pisarski
  For those who will be able to read Quibbling - there are important text segments with no links going to or out.
  
  Mariusz Pisarski
  Which really invites us to read from the map
  
  Matthew Hannah
  Which seem weirdly linked to computer games based on text, which I grew up with
  
  David Sabrowski
  The great thing about reading a story with the author is that you get to hear it the way the author intended
  
  Holly June
  Shared positive emotional experiences
  
  Matthew Hannah
  Thanks all! Wonderful way to spend a Thursday afternoon
  
  Holly June
