This concept of a network work of fiction, a transliterate production, is truly inspiring. I am inclined to try to create one if it is not too large an undertaking.

I love the simplicity, the subtle use of different modalities and dynamic dialogue and the effectiveness of the message conveyed this way through collective authorship across multiple platforms.

Having been partly responsible for the creation of a massive resource package in 2003, with films, flashcards, website, and teachers’ guide called Refuge, I can see clearly how much more effective and refreshing a transliteracy model is. Much leaner and much more appealing.

More to be said later about transliteracy to be posted here.
