**brushes aside tumbleweed**
(Preview)
Hello? Any progress? I recall a message asking for feedback ages ago, which I couldn't do anything about due to work, but haven't heard anything for a long time, and this entire site appears to have grown dusty. The Playlab blog has more activity - is tWW dead? Any plans?

I've been working on a new story in The Written World recently and I've also been a character in a few, and there's one thing I'm curious about: Are people more comfortable using a first person/second person point of view in narratives, where the narrator/God refers to the player as 'you' and they refe...
