CraftLove (Writing for the Web Graduate Class Project)
CraftLove is part of a collaborative project concerning user interactivity in digital media. Developed in Twine with HTML and CSS, this creative choice-based game revolves around emulating dating simulators and appearing to be an off-beat Lovecraft-inspired journey where you can date monsters. However, this work expands previous research on how monsters in fiction are often representative of maligned and marginalized people who are Othered by being literally dehumanized in fiction. Deceptively strange but light-hearted at first, the game explores how societal prejudice and fetishization affect interpersonal relationships.

Graduate Thesis: Castles in the Air
Based off my work in my course Desktop Publishing, Professional and Academic Editing, and Writing for the Web, Castles in the Air is a Dracula transformative "remix" or "fanfiction." With a plan to be developed in multiple formats, Castles will be available on a website where the user can choose to read the story how they want: by time, media, point-of-view, and chronology. What happens with someone chooses to read certain characters' perspective and omits others? How does this change the understanding or impact of the themes?
