Using differing degrees of prompts, the writer can fill in the blanks, end prompted sentences, or go full out and write whatever inspiration happens to strike them in these strange worlds. With the ability to share whatever you write to the game’s community, it will provide a springboard for new and experienced writers to show off their stuff to an audience.
