The Future of Storytelling

Here is a fascinating article about interactive storytelling, people's expectations, and where it might go.

And as an aside, since much of the article discusses Mass Effect 3's ending, I have to say that the plural ending as it is released, DLC and all, embodies what I have very often felt is both the worst and most accurate of Greek tragedy:

In it, Fate is fixed, no matter the path you choose. No matter how you come to it, only one thing will happen.

In the spirit of fanfiction comes the sequel, examining the consequences of that choice; but the series is presumably over.

No matter what happened, Shepard has presumably died again. But the hero was resurrected before. How will it happen now?

Through the fans.
