11. Structure
If the people in your community have the same attitude towards your issue (it is
an external conflict), then you can have a simple linear, or perhaps a complex linear
Structure and a Dorothy world.
If many people in your community have a different point of view about the issue
(an internal conflict), you will probably have some variety of complex linear structure.
However, whatever linearity you design, given that its
Published online, and its using social media, your project
Will go translinear, whether you like it or not:

Do you need to get permission to use FB or tweets in
your doco?
 A grey area. My answer:
 Since there’s a recognised way to cite tweets, just
cite them in your credits
 Since there’s no recognised way to cite comments
on a FB wall, you have to ask permission.
