Links to Interesting New Media Sites

Fiction / Narrative
The web ought to be a place where storytelling thrives —
that isn't the case so far. It's expensive to produce good narrative
content and to date there isn't a revenue model to support narrative
development. Nevertheless, there are some worthwhile "stories"
to be found.
