"A traditional narrative is a story or plot with a beginning, a middle and an end, and like its book form invites us to proceed through the text in a linear, pre-determined manner moving from page to page, chapter to chapter, towards an end where the plot is finally resolved."
(Keep 1995)
It is in this ordered way of reading that sets interactive non-linear narratives apart from the more traditional types as there are an infinite number of portals through which to commence reading. The user then navigates his own path around the novel experiencing the action in his own unique order. Non-linear texts are not fixed, and the words or sequence of words may differ from one part to the next because of the shape, conventions or mechanisms of the text. This is especially true of collaborative writing projects, as you will explore later in Hotel Hamlet and Indian Moon . more on non-linear narrative
