I have discovered the most amazing interactive website for you!  I am always attracted to experimental flash animation, and I happened to find an interesting new site that explores new art forms -- allowing for a richly textured and interactive experiment with fiction. Dreaming Methods is a website that combines art, flash animation, and narrative together in complex and adventurous ways. There are many ongoing projects -- so come back and visit often to see what's new. You will need flash and a fast connection to view and participate fully in these projects. And make sure you subscribe (it's free) as it will give you access to more projects and an interesting look at resource materials associated with each project. 

One of the projects I found truly beautiful and ethereal is The Sketchbook of Annie Sykes, a fascinating collage of text, imagery, sound (which is best turned up), and video. "Turning" each page presents a kind of "living" journal.
