maybe the phrase "narrative content" is too kind. prose + narrative, the most widely-consumed and "prestigious" textual form of our era and thus remains resistant to morphological changes. poetry/"critical" prose/cooking recipes/pictographs/non-prosaic narratives/non-semantic narratives/essays/bus schedules/memos/advertisements/"statuses"/instruction manuals/formless pieces of text, therefore, are more ripe to be changed and ripped apart by twine specifically and hypertext more generally. that is, i'm looking at twine not as a prose-medium (which has been extensively explored by porpentine et al) by twine as a poetic medium, which has an interest in minimalist kinds of expression and also conceptual ways of interacting with its own artifice. when somebody makes a poem in twine today it's a "poem in twine"--it could largely still exist as a poem on the physical page (which isn't true of prose works in twine--creating a "choose your own adventure" book out of Howling Dogs would be darn near impossible) and are generally uncreative uses of a brand new medium, with a few shining exceptions (that one poem by spinach, for example). I'm exploring compressions of style and corruptions of language/punctuation/symbolistic information to pave the way for a richer kind of hypertext poem, hypothetically. Alternatively, I'm faffing about (which is what poetry is in the first place, anyway)
