We choose to use a design similar to that presented third in GR2. However, following our TA's advice, we attempted to simplify the design as much as possible. The first day of testing indicated that our design had button placed and labeled in a confusing manner. Believing that that was the main concern, our second design was very similar, but with altered names and placement of the buttons. The second day's feedback caused us to realize that while the previous problems had been fixed, the layout was not intuitive to the users, and we now believe that a sidebar may not be the best design for our site. As such, we will be reworking our design thoroughly for the computer prototype. Our new ideas are described briefly in the last section of the page.
Briefing
We aim to construct an online interface for authors to easily collaborate on and share original and fan fiction. The target users are amateur writers who want to work together, mostly for fun, but sometimes also to improve their writing. Collaboration is a major component of the site, with various authors having the ability to append sections to a single story. Each story has one or more moderators, who are responsible for adding and removing authors, and deleting any abusive comments.
