Size Ten In One Circus Side Show and Tent Revival
HOW TO READ THE SIZE TEN IN ONE CIRCUS SIDESHOW AND TENT REVIVAL
The management sense that perhaps there is some concern or consternation on the part of readers of the Size Ten In One. As such, we have assembled this hand guide to help you enjoy the experience more fully. We understand your concern, as the environment is both linear and hypertextual, but we hope that with this simple guide, you will feel more at easy in our world of topsy-turvydom.
IN YOUR FRIENDS VIEW: For the cautious traveller, we suggest simply adding the Size Ten in One to your friends list. Entries will be presented to you on a sporadic, but linear fashion. If you feel so inclined, you may also leave comments on the journal, telling the intrepid wordnauts about your reactions to a piece. Be advised, however, that there will be hyperlinks leading you to other stories in many of the entries! Do not follow these unless you feel you are ready to graduate to a higher level!
AT THE SIZETENINONE COMMUNITY: More adventurous and cosmopolitan readers can travel to the Size Ten in One community page, where they will find that at the end of every entry there is a small form to fill out. Whenever the urge strikes you, we strongly encourage you to write a word or a phrase that you think describes the entry you have just read, in order to provide guidance for future readers. Following the hyperlinks will guide you on a path that others have already blazed for you, filling out their own thoughts into this aforementioned box. Occasionally, you will find yourself on the Size Ten In One web site. Do not be afraid, this page exists to help contributors to the Size Ten in One brainstorm ideas for future assaults on the narrative environment. You will still have a direct line to the author, should you want to leave a little note.
AT THE SIZE TEN IN ONE WEB SITE (forthcoming): Those of you who wish to leave the world of the LiveJournal behind can go to the forthcoming Size Ten In One Circus Side Show and Tent Revival web site. It has many of the features of the Size Ten In One Community, and may, in future, have storage space for multi-media, or diversions created by the members of the community. However, be warned, the linear structure of the Size Ten in One story is tossed aside at the site, so that explorers can have the most carnival-like experience.
We hope that with these guidlines, you will be able to enjoy a safe and healthy stay in our hypertextual environment. Thank you for your time.
