Blog 11- audience, ideas, and links...

The audience I have in mind for the hypertext essay is young adults and late teens, ages ranging from 17 to 26. My essay will probably be more directed to females, however I am trying to incorporate males if at all possible. With that said, I will be using various images, fonts, and web layout styles which would be appealing to this age bracket. I plan to provide links for topics, words, further reference, and maybe even examples to which I feel is important to know/see/explore relating to phone novels. These links will be interesting enough so they are utilized by my ideal users. My goal is to make awareness of phone novels. Just because in Japan phone novels were popular among young women regarding romantic fiction doesnt mean ONLY young women regarding romance can participate in phone novels. Therefore, I really want my audience to be interested and check it out. I think my site will appeal most to young, novist, writers. A lot of books were published from the phone novel site and sold like hot cakes. Some were even turned into movies! On the other hand, I also think my audience could be readers. People who just want to read, not write. You can browse by topic so that could be something he or she would really enjoy. I read on someone's blog that she is going to divide up pages for diferent topics with a navagation bar at the top. I absolutely LOVE her idea and I totally want to copy. I was thinking I could do one page for "writers" and another for "readers" and then of course the information page and where to find the websites, etc. What do you guys think?
