The first innovation is the delivery method. With applications such as twitter, or texting, or even to some extent facebook and social network status updates, the nature of communication has been fundamentally altered. The world wide web is a glut of words, and so these services have forced us to edit ourselves, fashioning our long and windy thoughts into succinct packets of information, which we then transmit into the world. When it comes to telling a story, trying to fit all of your concepts into short discrete chunks of verbiage can be difficult. However, like writing a haiku, there is a certain beauty to it that elevates your spirit, as well as your writing ability. It also gives you a whole new voice with which to weave the tapestry of your tale. However the impact of social networking technology on storytelling is far more dramatic. Just look at the major social networking players. Facebook, myspace, bebo, they are all set up so that people can tell one another the story of their lives. However it is a seamless storytelling, not merely of words, but also of pictures, preferences, quizzes, connections, and brief momentary thoughts, all collaborating to describe a very personal tale. When applied to fiction, these concepts can get really interesting. Suddenly your story is no longer the single litany of a stranded soul expressed on parchment. It can become more than just a written description; it can take on a life of its own. You now have the ability to create a multimedia experience, more subtle than the cinema, but much richer than a simple book, which plays itself out in real time as you conceive of each plot twist and post it online. But the potential doesn't end there, because these technologies do not exist in a void. Their very reason for existing is to help foster communication. That means that the virtual story you are telling, the life you are breathing into your characters, is automatically connected to millions of people around the world. Further, these people can do more than just passively view your work. They can actually participate in its creation. They can write comments, or challenge you with blogs. They can create characters within your story, and twist the universe in directions you would have never thought possible. As more people become comfortable with these technologies, you will see an evolution in the nature of storytelling. It will happen gradually, with brave artists pioneering the outskirts of creativity. But eventually, the nature of the story will become more collaborative, more dynamic, and more engaging for the artist and their audience.
Jim Slate is one of the many artistic pioneers pursuing new forms of storytelling on http://www.RolePages.com – An in character fictional social network, where you can create a profile as any person, or creature, that you can imagine. Then engage in interactive storytelling with a wide variety of creative individuals, all of whom are also operating under the guise of their own imaginative character.
