Why I’m Not Jumping On Your Transmedia Platform

Via Scoop.it – Story and Narrative

Every once in a while, I get an invitation or press release from another new technology platform promising to be the future of transmedia storytelling. I always receive them with a rapid-pulse surge of enthusiasm, and sometimes even with fervent promises to check them out and make something for them right away. (No specific platforms named here to protect the guilty — that’s me!)   But then days and weeks go by with the invitation sitting in my email inbox, and I don’t look at it… and I don’t… and I don’t… Finally, after a certain amount of time and guilt has passed, I reluctantly conclude that I never will and archive the thing before my office carpet swallows me up from the shame of putting it off so long.   It might be helpful to the creators of these platforms for me publicly examine why that is, exactly. So here are my top four reasons for not flexing my muscles on someone else’s transmedia storytelling platform.
