The game actually used to possess a longer introductory tutorial and prison break. The intro has been revised multiple times; I'm not sure how it currently looks and acts. Welp, it shouldn't hurt to make our own tutorial storylet thingamajig. The idea of having multiple beginner tutorial type things for players to choose from sounds great, anyway!

I'm gonna hire a ghostwriter to change the narrative tone of "Beginner's Guide" to a more entertaining one. As it stands, I don't believe its key weakness is its length so much as its style of expression. I want to engage readers, and the stolid tone of the guide doesn't lend itself to that sort of reaction. Yes, it's dependable as a friend...but not exciting as a lover? :P Some people do prefer a dry and clear walkthrough, I'm aware. That's why I'm thinking of two different versions: stolid (but long?) and silly (but short?). Your storylet guide is an interesting third option. Please go ahead with its production.

It's not illegal to post fanfiction or other fanwork here. XD I've been thinking of this myself, splitting the wiki into three notable sections:
 * Game Archive (cards/storylets and their results)
 * Encyclopedia (player guides and informative articles like a classic encyclopedia)
 * Fan Base (collection of fanwork)

[I'm not shooting from my mouth here; I've come across these suggestions several times in the past months publicly and privately. I do remember player ideas.]

Note: For every piece of fanwork posted on the wiki, a link back to Fallen London and a copyright notice must accompany it (that the pieces are based on the original ideas, images and other creative content of Failbetter Games). We could make a template to automatically add that stuff.

The three sections will need to have all their relevant pages marked with the Archive, Encyclopedia, or Fanwork categories to prevent reader confusion.

I've digressed enough. Back to the newbie guide issue: would someone please update the beginner introduction pages of EB@wikidot?
