A New Age of Story Telling

For many years, I have been working on a story. It has consumed much of my thought and effort over the years, but always one question has weighed on my mind: how do I tell this story?

I have written and draw much in an effort to find the best option for expression of The Story, but always I feel too limited by traditional media. Sometimes I cannot find the words to convey the image in my head and sometimes my drawing fails to capture the depth of the thoughts in my brain.

But, in this pondering, I have come to realize that we sit at the dawning of a new age of story telling. Things like Homestuck and Prequel have shown that the Internet provides a unique platform for telling a story. Where all forms of media can be combined at need. Where text and image can flex and bend to suit the needs of the story at hand. The best part is that all the tools to do this are open just about anyone who would care to try them.

It only remains for the creator to take them and create.
