Fictionary Fictionary, also known as The Dictionary Game or simply Dictionary, is a word game in which players guess the definition of an obscure word. Each round consists of one player selecting and announcing a word from the dictionary, and other players composing a fake definition for it. The definitions are collected by the selector and read aloud, and players vote on which definition they believe to be correct. Points are awarded for correct guesses, and for having a fake definition guessed by another player.

Alexander Zelenyj Alexander Zelenyj is a Canadian author of speculative fiction. He is known for his seamless merging of genres in his stories, resulting in a visionary, original and difficult-to-define style. All of his fiction has literary underpinnings, though his work is infused with genre elements running the gamut from magical realism, horror, science fiction, noir, historical, western, Bizarro, to surrealism. For this reason the term "slipstream" has often been used to describe his work, though some reviewers consider the term inadequate to define Zelenyj's unclassifiable style.

Interactive fiction Interactive fiction, often abbreviated IF, is software simulating environments in which players use text commands to control characters and influence the environment. Works in this form can be understood as literary narratives, either in the form of Interactive narratives or Interactive narrations. These works can also be understood as a form of video game, either in the form of an adventure game or role-playing game. In common usage, the term refers to text adventures, a type of adventure game where the entire interface can be "text-only", however, Graphical text adventure games, where the text is accompanied by graphics (still images, animations or video) still fall under the text adventure category if the main way to interact with the game is by typing text. Some users of the term distinguish between interactive fiction, known as "Puzzle-free", that focuses on narrative, and "text adventures" that focus on puzzles.
