Noun
webback (plural webbacks)
- a work of fiction which is published in printed as well as eBook format[1] with addenda, glossaries, back-stories and tangentially linked information available online thereby extending the narrative as determined by the reader's curiosity[2] rather than the writer's design.

- one of the earliest examples of the webback was SLABSCAPE: RESET published in 2010 by [Blipbooks]
- the next one in the series, SLABSCAPE: DAMMIT, published in 2014, was instrumental in making the dominant distribution channel of the day wake up and realise what they had created.
