ABSTRACT
In September 1991, the first Internet link was established in Hong Kong; however, the trend of online literature in Hong Kong has been disproportionate to the development of the infrastructure of information technology and the usage of the Internet over the years. It was not until 2010 that internet literature began to flourish. This chapter will explore the development of web fiction culture in Hong Kong since 2010 and examine selected works’ portrayal in the urban space via the Internet. Supplementing cultural and textual analyses with findings from interviews, this chapter offers an introduction to the understudied area of Hong Kong's web fiction by examining the production, circulation, and consumption of representative online works.
