HoloDeck was a series of Creatures fan-fiction stories by Bean detailing the adventures of Katherine the computer whiz and her robotic sidekick, Blip, as they deal with the invention of the HoloDeck, a means of traveling from the virtual world of Albia to the real world, and vice versa. The stories were distributed as postings to alt.games.creatures - the series began on 13 Jun 1998, and the final episodes (44/45) were posted on 16 July 1999. The beginnings of the series are available at Library Albia; they are now available on the HoloDeck website (the original posts are on Google Groups search).
