Here’s a composite view of Map view, TOC, book plate, annotation, and first lexia of the beginning of Egderus’s Testament, along with the navigator palette — i.e., all the apparatus the interface provides in Volume 1. (This screenshot is from Storyspace 2; the others are from Storyspace 1, in which the work was composed and published.) Michael Joyce’s first reaction to the SFD (Shitty First Draft) was, “I love the story, but maybe the telling’s a bit too... apparatus-y?”
