Artifacts: building dimension into your narrative [Narrative Artifacts: 1 of 4]
In print, your narrative thread may be enough to sustain a reader, but when you go beyond a single book, it’s time to consider the other ways your story can engage. Narrative artifacts allow you to build dimension into the universe of your story and are universally applicable. From journalism to video games, artifacts may be the key to pulling in and keeping your audience.
Narrative artifacts are the things that surround and add to universe of your narrative. In many ways they are one of the most important elements of a transmedia experience.
There are three types of artifacts: narrative-centric, narrative-parallel and narrative-additive.
