A guide for would be Fan-Fiction Authors

I have enjoyed, and been impressed by both your thread Erax, as well as the Sachmo's work. You both are doing an excellent job.

I myself am contemplating doign something similar, for exactly the reasons you cite- the lure of a story where the unexpected is all to possible.

What do you do to prepare for your installments? What kind of notes do you take? Do you write as you play, or do you play several turns, then write?

How do you keep track of all the characters?

Is a strong AI opponent better in terms of creating a dynamic story, or is a lower level AI preferable?

Thanks for the welcome and the replies!
