Abstract
To move from a set of relatively abstract questions about narrative comprehension to an operationally effective project is an elaborate process, and like the story itself, it involves time. For this project I invited 12 undergraduate volunteers at a western Canadian university, working in groups of three, to read a complete novel, watch a complete film and play a digital game to its conclusion. I will address the elements of this project in the order in which they arose.
