(6) These terms to connote different types of interactive fiction were nicely expressed in a 2002 critical article by Pieter Jan Leroy and Valerie Pattyn that discusses a 2000 work entitled "Fractured" by Andy Campbell. Fractured, a dark diary of a man going insane, offered both types. In this work, as the authors explained it, the "user" chooses which links to open and which path to follow and can't possibly know beforehand what will be seen or where those choices will lead, i.e. selective interactivity. Full interactivity happens when the user actually writes poetry into the diary, becoming part of the story.
