Editing Unwritten: System Reference Document/Aspects and Fate Points (section)

===Earning Fate Points===

You earn fate points in any of the following ways:

* Accept a compel. You get a fate point when you agree to the complication associated with a compel. As we said above, this may sometimes happen retroactively if the circumstances warrant. 
* Have your aspects invoked against you. If someone pays a fate point to invoke an aspect attached to your character, you gain their fate point at the end of the scene. This includes advantages created on your character, as well as consequences. 
* Concede in a contest or dangerous action. You receive one fate point for conceding in a contest or dangerous action.
* Make a sacrifice. If you choose to make a sacrifice and take a consequence, you get fate points in exchange for the sacrifice.
* Avoid using a hint. If you excel on a Discover action, you can request a hint from the gamemaster. If you do not use your hint, you receive one fate point. p.
