Most hypertext writers view linear writing and hypertext as complementary rather than antithetical art forms, each with its own unique merits and possibilities.
Undoubtedly many works that would in an earlier time have been realized as epic poems ended up as novels instead, but the novel did not kill poetry or book-length poems. Similarly, hypertext fiction is unlikely to kill linear fiction, even were it to become as wildly popular as video games. It is, however, causing many authors to divert their efforts from print to the computer screen if they have an impetus toward multilinear expression or simply the desire to try something new.
