About elit
elit encompasses projects that push the boundaries of traditional narrative forms through:
- Interactive Fiction: Twine/SugarCube-based narrative experiences
- Constraint-based Writing: Works exploring OuLiPo techniques and generative methods
- Digital Storytelling: Experimental approaches to narrative in digital spaces
- Computational Creativity: Algorithmic and procedural text generation
This section documents experimental literary works that exist at the intersection of technology and creative writing, exploring how computational tools can expand the possibilities of textual expression.
