Fiction that gets better, one post at a time.

Creation of Iteration

leave a comment »

Definition of iteration according to Merriam-Webster: a procedure in which repetition of a sequence of operations yields results successively closer to a desired result.

This blog will be a compilation and news site for people who are creating and iterating on fiction that is free on the internet.  We will not be covering paper based, bound books unless they also appear or are written on the internet. This is a web 3.0 type of initiative, where content is not just fed to users, a la’ web 1.0, or also created by users, a la’ web 2.0, but where the meaning of the content is given form through an iterative process of conglomerating multiple sources both professionally and user created.

Were there enough buzzwords in that last paragraph?

This website is affiliated with the Iterative Science Fiction website and the Iterative Fantasy website because those two genres of fiction interest me most in particular. I encourage users to create new websites dedicated to genres or forms of writing that interest them, as long as they follow the same standards you read in the previous paragraph: chunked content that is freely available on the internet.  We simply request that if you make the iterativevideo.com website, or any other website using the iterative process in relation to media, please link back to this website for giving you the idea. Thanks!

In the meantime, please read our articles, explore the iterative network linked on this webpage, and send us submissions on content you think we should cover!
