Good example you've chosen. Patchwork Girl by Shelley Jackson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patchwork_Girl_(hypertext) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patchwork_Girl_(hypertext) using (coincidentally created using the same authoring system that you link to) is another fine, if not finer, example. However, owing to the youth of the medium, and the very slow uptake I feel we have as yet to see any outstanding works in hypertext fiction. By which I mean of great artistic merit and a piece of work that transcends its form so that it is just thought of as a great work of fiction and not just a great work of hypertext fiction. (Non-fiction is a different matter entirely). As is suggested in this thread it is very possible that by sacrificing pace that a crucial component of fiction is lost to the author in the hypertextual realm. Ask me again in 50 years, really we're back in Gutenberg times with electronic literature - very exciting stuff, but really what we have are a lot of hypertexted bibles and not much else. (And I say that with all respect to the authors working in this field.)
