Contemporary Fantasy MUD
Here are the several ways we'll be keeping in touch with each other in this course.
NOTE: The weekly MUD sessions, along with the other on-line written assignments, will replace normal "face-to-face" class meetings; so these are mandatory--make sure that you're at each session and that the teachers know you're there so that you can get credit for the conversation.

CF: The Class E-Mail List Along with the NetForums, we'll use the class email list for posting general announcements to the group and the like; be sure to check your email every few days to keep current. To subscribe, just send a note to LISTPROC@EBBS.ENGLISH.VT.EDU that says "subscribe cf YourFirst YourLastName" (supplying your names, sans quotes, line one, flush left) in a note that has a blank subject line and no signature. Shortly, you'll receive a confirmation notice indicating that you've succeeded.
Netforums
This environment provides a way to "post" messages to an on-going web-page. The postings are arranged hierarchically according to the subject lines, and the program provides notifications by e-mail when someone posts a response to your message.We'll use this for more thoughtful and slightly more formal communications--mostly in response to the major assigned readings and on a weekly basis.
Take a minute to become a member of the forum after you go there.
