FictionFactory (FF) is another door game by Joel Downer which hasn't proved to be as popular as IronOx (not nearly!). Basically, FF takes the old "continual story" idea that people have been doing in message bases for years and transforms it into a door format. .

Usually BBSs have a "K"ill message or "D"elete message function. But of course your particular system may vary, particularly if you're a new user who hasn't been upgraded. Either way, your message made it way up here to the colorful fall woods of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. :-) .
