I am Deena Larsen and I have loved electronic literature ever since the early 1990s. The field has grown from a bare dozen writers to thousands in the past three decades--and has spanned several complete revolutions. I have been involved in electronic literature. I have gone to practically every conference. I know people in the field. I probably watched them give their presentations, read their essays, read their works, and talked to them. I want to help wikipedians access the full spectrum of the genre. I now have a bit of time to do that because I retired July 30, 2022.
I worked for over 30 years as a technical writer in water management, so I do have a passion for clearly explaining complex environmental and water issues as well.
I am not being paid to update anything. I have not received any compensation nor am I seeking compensation for any edit. This is purely a volunteer effort as I love this field and I want wikipedia readers to know about this field. I have used citations and references for all updates.
So, yes, I am one of those myriad old fogey volunteers pursuing their passions! Please help me as I am a newbie here at wikipedia and an oldie at elit! I greatly appreciate all your help!
And yes, I know I have been a member long enough to get some clue as to what I am doing, but it has been an interesting retirement, and I have many other projects as well. So advice is always welcome!!
We are starting a new project to edit women electronic literature/interactive fiction projects. Would you like to join us? Wikipedia:WikiProject Women writers/Women electronic literature writers. We could really use advice and help!
What about a list of works by the approximate time required to commit to them (e.g., 10 minute read/watch, hour interaction, 20 hour interaction)?
