Explanation

The Web as a many-to-many media has exponentially expanded the potential for literature's traditional associative communication. Indeed, electronic literature almost demands communities--it is nearly impossible to be an excellent writer, graphic artist, sound producer, animator, and producer at the same time--let alone mastering all of the multimedia tools needed to create a work. Thus, many electronic works are collaboration.

Many works invite collaboration and weave contributions into the fabric of the work. While most of these sites are still based on the idea of a single poet contributing to a larger body of work, we can see the potential for working together.
