The Interactive Fanfiction of Konoha Village
If you're a member of the VoK forums, or even a guest, you're bound to discover our Interactive Fanfiction – or IF for short – sooner or later (probably sooner). After all, the IF's dedicated members practically live and breathe Fanfic, and the Fic itself is the largest part of our community – no other sub-community has its own offsite forum. This thing is massive, and getting bigger.
But what is the IF? And why has it taken over the entire forums?
Simply put, the Interactive Fanfiction is just that – a fan-written story that's played out interactively by the members. Think of it like a forum-based roleplay, or as being somewhat similar to a tabletop RPG without the stats and dice. Participants get together to play out a story using original characters with their own unique personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. As explained by ANBU Member Uchiha Jyounochi, “It's pretty much D&D without the character sheets, and outcomes of things decided by common sense and compromise rather than dice.”
Want to learn more? Here's what you need to do:
1) Read the rules. Obviously.
2) Check out the explanatory thread on how to participate in the IF. Everything else you need to know will be spelled out in that thread.
3) Still have questions? Post a question in the ANBU Headquarters board and any of our staff members – or experienced IF participants – will be happy to help out.
