5. SUB TOPIC Part 1
Digital fiction
Digital Fiction is fiction that is written for and read from a computer and can be web- or
app-based (for tablets and smartphones) or accessed via CD-ROMs. Digital fictions are
different to e-books, however. Rather than existing as a digital version of a print novel,
digital fictions are what are known as “born digital” – that is, they would lose something
of their aesthetic and/or structural form and meaning if they were removed from the
digital medium. For example, they may contain hyperlinks, moving images, mini-games
or sound effects. Further, unlike e-books in which the reader moves from one page to
another in a linear fashion, in many digital fictions, the reader has a role in constructing
the narrative, either by selecting hyperlinks or by controlling a character’s journey
through the story world. Digital fictions therefore require that the reader interacts with
the narrative throughout the reading experience and include texts such as hypertext
fictions, Flash fictions and some video games.

FLASH FICTION
Hugh Behm-Steinberg
You’re in love; it’s great, you swipe on your phone and order: the next day a Taylor Swift clone shows up at your house. It’s
not awkward, it’s everything you want. She knows all her songs, and she sings them just for you. When you put your Taylor
Swift to bed (early, you got a big day tomorrow) you peek over the fence into the Rosenblatt’s yard, and the lights are blazing.
Your best friend Tina has three Taylor Swifts swimming in her pool. She has a miniature Taylor Swift she keeps on a perch, a
Taylor Swift with wings. You’re so jealous. She’s not even paying attention to them, she’s too busy having sex with her other
Taylor Swifts, they’re so fucking loud it’s disgusting. You hate Taylor Swift.
So you wake up your Taylor Swift and put her to work doing your chores. Why are you being so mean to me she asks you,
but you won’t look her in the eye. Instead you ask your mom for an advance on your allowance now that all the chores are
done, and with the money you get three more Taylor Swifts. When they arrive you make them do nothing but cardio and
kickboxing training for weeks on end. And steroids. They look all sweaty and hard and sexy but, unlike some people, you
know all about delayed gratification. You make your Taylor Swifts sleep in separate crates.
You call your best friend Tina and say wouldn’t it be great to have a Taylor Swift party? We could bring all our Taylor Swifts,
drink Diet Pepsi and smoke pot. Tina says that sounds like fun; let’s do it this weekend, my parents will be gone all weekend.

10. SUB TOPIC Part 3
FLASH FICTION
Saturday, you let one of your pumped up quivering Taylor Swifts ring the doorbell and who answers
but Taylor Swift. Come on in, we’re all by the pool. By the pool all of Tina’s Taylor Swifts are naked,
getting tan, they all look so sweet and lazy. They’re drinking Diet Pepsi while Tina is lighting an apple
bong. So, she says, passing you the apple, what shall we do with all these Taylor Swifts?
You look at her, she’s just glowing, you’ve never wanted to be with anyone else but her in your entire
life. And there goes your plan to have all your Taylor Swifts beat the crap out of all her Taylor Swifts.
Let’s go to your room, you tell her. There’s something I want to show you.
A little later, the Taylor Swifts smile as they hear the two of you. The one with wings stretches and
practices her nightingale routine. She knows that one day the real Taylor Swift will see the videos she
uploaded, and the videos will be so beautiful, so perfect, that the real Taylor Swift will send her limo
driver to pick her up and take her to the real Taylor Swift’s tower in New York City, where at last she
too will be loved.
