The proliferation of computers and the internet with its various networked services inevitably call into question traditional concepts of authorship, text and reader. This paper attempts to give an extensive overview of net-working authors’ attitudes towards the question of authorship, set against the academic debate about the concept of ›authorship‹. To illustrate the significant changes in the understanding of authorship, I have divided the material into two groups. First I will look at a set of linear texts still on the threshold between print and digital media, i.e. texts that do not suffer any considerable changes when transferred from digital to print. The second group consists of the inherently digital productions, mostly relying on the internet, such as hyperfiction, interactive writing projects, net art and literary blogs.
