Storytellers now think about storytelling in terms of creating

  • penings for consumer

participation. At the same time, consumers are using new media technologies to engage with

  • ld media content, seeing the

Internet as a vehicle for collective problem solving, public deliberation, and grassroots creativity.

A taste of interactive fiction

  • 2. Brainstorm about a major choice or

plot point

A different type of interactive fiction

slide-24
SLIDE 24

@fanTALES_EU

A typology of choices

  • preference

Cauldron cake or treacle tart ?

  • value

Fire at Hogwarts !!! Save your book of spells, or your invisibility cloak ?

  • adventure

Discover secret chambers, or play a game of Quidditch ?

  • ethical

Arrive late at Hogwarts or steal the Weasley’s flying car ?

  • cause and effect

Make friends with Malfoy on your way to Hogwarts, and end up in Slytherin.

  • exploratory

Keep talking to Dumbledore, or continue the action ?

  • obtainable

Retrieve your parents’ possessions from GringottsWizarding Bank.

  • directional

Left or right in the twisting passages of GringottsWizarding Bank ?

  • tonal

Reply to Malfoy with sarcasm or with irony ?

based on Ford, M. (2016) Writing Interactive Fiction with Twine, pp. 22-23

What makes a choice interesting ?

You are Harry Potter, an eleven-year old boy who is attending the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in

  • rder to become a world-class wizard.

After a long but breathtaking ride on the Hogwarts Express, you have arrived at Hogwarts Castle. You have just been sorted into Gryffindor (one of the school’s four houses), and are enjoying your first Hogwarts banquet, starved after this exciting day. Having worked your way through the main course – you have never had such delicious pork chops, sausages, roast potatoes, peas, carrots, and gravy before – you consider the dessert options.

  • That treacle tart does look rather mouthwatering …
  • Mint humbugs seem a little strange for dessert …
  • Better not have any dessert …
