Sample text
Sound effects act as ascending metalepses that suggest that elements from the fictional world are able to cross into the actual world. While audible metalepsis could be found in other types of text that incorporate sound, the analysis of the cursor and external links has shown that 10:01 also contains metalepses that are exclusively digital. The cursor acts as a descending metalepsis in which a counterpart of the reader can be traced in the fictional world, and external links act as a form of ascending metalepsis in which the characters from the fictional world possess a form of transworld identity.
While not exclusive to 10:01, this kind of metaleptic jump is peculiar to Web-based hypertext fiction because it requires links for it to be enacted. The external links in 10:01 thus represent another media-specific form of ontological intrusion that can only occur in digital form. Of course the characters in 10:01 do not really belong to the same domain as the reader, and the fictional world of 10:01 does not really have access to the actual world. Yet it is precisely because the external links suggest that they do that this form of ascending metalepsis is so unsettling.
