A taste of interactive fiction http://burymemylove.arte.tv 1. Spot the difference(s) 2. Brainstorm about a major choice or plot point @fanTALES_EU

A different type of interactive fiction @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 @fanTALES_EU

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 order 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 …  @fanTALES_EU

Strong choices  Context  Conflict  Consequence based on a workshop by IF author @gavininglis @fanTALES_EU

Strong choices Context Consequence Conflict Treacle tart Mint humbugs No dessert @fanTALES_EU
