Overview: Story-telling can take many different forms. The written novel is the most prototypical example, but aside from the written word, stories have been expressed through audio, visual, and even touch-based components. Movies and films combine audio, visual, and linguistic components. Performance arts rely on audio and visual components, with linguistics being optional. Video games combine all three, and also include a player-as-immersed aspect (the story cannot progress without player input). Comics are visual and linguistic, with a heavier emphasis on the visuals.

Goal: I want to create a medium of storytelling that uses the visual arts and linguistic components. The emphasis should be on the written word.

Research Required: Find unique mixed media storytelling and understand how elements are combined. Create more stories on my own.

Homestuck is an example of an audio-linguistic medium of storytelling, with additional minigames and unique implementation of the host website to give it an immersive element.
