Abstract

HYPERGODDESS is a portfolio of creative work including creative writing (fiction, poetry), music, photography, and video. The primary content is an arrangement of blog posts written from the voice of a fictional character named Juliette. Her world is introduced as she is leaving her boyfriend's hotel and meets a Psychic while ordering a bagel. Over the next 17 blog posts, Juliette juggles a variety of relationships, and shares the details she deems most noteworthy. It is apparent immediately that her priorities are created solely in the interest of her own comfort and that of her small dog, Heinz. Her blog is public despite its diary-like tone. Juliette's blog post titles read chronologically as lyrical prose. Similar works include "Excellence and Perfections", Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, and other forms of hypertext fiction and ergodic literature.

The site is crafted through Wordpress with a menu tab that includes an About Page, two short stories: "So She Stayed" and "Ivan and Sage", and a short film titled "Blue Tuesday". This is a multimedia approach to literary fiction.
