Thanks, I'll keep an eye on the Varytale project. It seems to be under development still (e.g. it looks great in Chrome but not in IE8) and there's no real information available to prospective authors without first signing up, but it certainly has potential. It reminds me vaguely of that 'inklebook' project in overall style--although I'm not sure which came first or (for lack of information) what the actual differences are.

Conveniently, Emily's just written a couple of things about writing in Varytale.

Also re. Varytale, there's quite a bit about the toolset and intentions for the website at Varytale's blog: http://blog.varytale.com/ . Some of this information was posted last summer, but much of it still to the best of my knowledge reflects Ian Millington's intentions for the site. Blog articles cover more than I did about things like player feedback, collaborative writing, book promotion, etc., and also include some screenshots of the tools.
