I’ve been starting to work with hypertext after discovering the wonderful Undum framework by Ian Millington, that combines beautiful presentation with smooth, unbroken output.
Hypertext stories are stories containing hyperlinks, which the reader clicks in order to choose what content they read next. A bit like the web, but a good hypertext story will also lead you through and help the reader to tell a good story with your choices.

No Space to Breathe is coming soon…

Science fiction: an old soldier is brought before his Emperor to face a charge of murder. Flaws was written for the 2010 Interzone Advent Calendar of flash fiction.Flaws also exists as an e-book for Kindle, available from Amazon UK and US.
- Review on Gaming on the Go: “It’s a really well written thing.”
- Review on Jay is Games: ”Flaws is an intriguing interactive fiction “game”.. with Jon Ingold’s usual flare for compact, interesting writing.”
