One of the new developments under digital storytelling is about the control of the story pace. Within the interactive media such as the multi-touch devices, a series of new ways for the story flow are emerging where the reader is an active part of it. This reading experience will bring new ways to conceptualize a story given the new dimensions available such as the animation, interaction and sound.
