Keywords:

* Fidelity
* Postmodernism
* Visual vs non-visual texts / human vs nonhuman actors / ‘the real’
* Adaptation scholars
* Intertextuality
Considerations for your work:
* What stories does your text respond to or adapt, even implicitly? Is this something you reference in the text? Should you or would doing so enhance the intertextual reference points?
* In what ways might creating a fiction that adapts allow you to go deeper with an idea? In what ways might it restrict you?
* When retelling or responding to a story through a different medium, what are the effects in the change due to the medium? In what ways does your text as visual or not become a different type of cultural artifact?
Feel free to share your related work or recommendations in the comments.
