We Tell Stories: Where literature, gaming and the Internet intersect

In this session, Adrian Hon will present a case study of We Tell Stories, a groundbreaking experiment in digital storytelling in which Six to Start worked with six bestselling novelists from Penguin to create original stories tailored for the web. From a thriller told inside Google Maps, to a story told over blogs and Twitter, to a literary 'choose your own adventure' tale, the project resulted in genuinely new forms of storytelling that attracted critical and popular acclaim.
