Disclaimer:
I am going to try and start this whole thing off on the right foot,
which may be a little bit difficult for me.  So, I am letting everyone
know right of the bat that when I think of on line games and interactive
fiction I think of my dorky older brother and people that never leave
their homes (think of that Sandra Bullock movie "The Net".)

Now that we are all duly aware of my preconceived notions, I do plan on
doing a fair critique on an interactive fiction.  Now, because I personally
thinking that making an interactive fiction is way cooler than playing one,
those that would like to start with my positive twist on this genre should
go here and read about the design and structure.  If you are okay with a
little negativity about all of this go here and read about why I am not sure
that interactive fiction is really literature.
