Women Writers and the Restive Text: Feminism, Experimental Writing and Hypertext by Barbara Page

In this text Page refers to the strong connection of hypertext and feminism, focusing on the unconventional writing of several female authors. The hypertextual way of writing provides a freedom and space for collaborative compositions and alternative interpretations of the text. This practice radicalise the narrow and patriarchal form of writing by being 'nonlinear, nonhierarchical, and decentering', and even fragmented. She gives an additional meaning to the term by referring to electronic writing, which is inclusive and 'interweaves' the media between them.

You say you want a revolution? Hypertext and the Laws of Media by Stuart Moulthrop

hypertext in computing systems. users access, involvement in the process he refers to the project XANADU: linking and retrieval system hypertext- social change/ he talks about the political aspect of such a system the personal computers arrived and this idea was almost lost

Collaborative Narrative by Scott Rettberg

In this text Rettberg refers to the forms that a collaborative narrative can take, focusing on the participation of the authors. The file-sharing applications are the base of this simultaneous electronic way of writing, like Skype and email. He separates the participation into three types; conscious, contributory and unwitting. He elaborates more on this argument by giving examples of hypertext projects. In the context of social writing in a network based environment, hypertexts can have different structures beyond the conventional linear narratives. Then the contribution of more than two authors is unavoidable leading to a larger scale of collective writing, like the attempt of making a novel in the Wiki platform. Rettberg describes that by bringing the term 'architecture of participation'. And so the performative action of making a collective novel online becomes more important than the content of the document.
