So, to writers get started, we’ve put together a web-tool for writing and reading simple interactive stories. Called the inklewriter, it lets you write as you play, branching the story with choices, and then linking those stories back together again. It keeps track of which paths you’ve finished, and which still need to be written.

You’ll even be able to track the choices your reader makes, and adapt the story around those decisions. Everything the reader does will have the potential, down the line, to cause catastrophe or save the day. The power’s all there: it’s up to you, the author, to decide how things will play out.

The inklewriter requires no set-up, no programming, and no drawing diagrams. Just start writing and see where it takes you. Oh, and it’s free to use. And once written, you can share your stories with whoever you like.

It’s almost ready, and when it’s done, we’ll be announcing it here, so please keep your eyes peeled, or subscribe to the RSS feed (or follow @inkleStudios on Twitter!)
