Julianne Chatelain works in the computer industry, specializing in usability research, interaction design and online writing. She has helped ship several tools for creating and presenting multimedia hypertexts, from Primarius IVS (1979) to Trellix (1997). Her fictional and avocational obsessions are described at her Web site.
Both her contributions to this issue of JoDI present alternative review cultures from which hypertext reviewers, readers and authors might learn: that of fan fiction, and that of science fiction. Both these genres have strong communities and vocal readers who tell authors what they think about the stories they've read.
