Welcome to Fiction Factory! This door is a friendly place
for you to collaborate with other users to create stories.
Navigating Fiction Factory is easy once you get the hang of
it: your choices are almost always listed on menus. You
can select from the menus by typing the highlighted letter
of the option you want to choose. You can also use the
arrow keys to move the cursor up and down and then hit
the {Enter} key when you've highlighted the option you want.
If you're using a RIP terminal, you can also click on the
button you want with your mouse.
The best way to get started in Fiction Factory is to read
entries created by other people. If any stories get your
imagination in high gear, pick up where the previous writers
left off and add your own contribution! If not, start a
story yourself and get the action rolling. Don't worry if
you don't sound like Shakespeare: the point is to be
imaginative and have fun.
Several "hot keys" will work at just about any time while
you are in Fiction Factory.
Ctrl-Z Brings up help. As much as possible, FictFact will
tailor the help it provides to what you're doing
at the time, so if you're confused, give it a try!
Ctrl-O Lists the people (if any) who are in the game on
other nodes. You may want to send those people
messages, to chat with them, or to work on a story
together so that you can take turns adding to the tale.
Ctrl-E Allows you to enter a one-line message to a user on
another node.
Ctrl-T Allows you to enter chat mode. From there, you can
/PAGE people on other nodes to chat with you.
