Versus reading and writing game
Writers submit stories. Readers view two stories at a time and pick the best.
Versus is the first Storyjacker game to provide writers with the opportunity to write on their own. It plugs these writers into a community of readers and writers who provide honest straightforward feedback. It's being made in collaboration with developer Jordan Harman.
How does it work exactly?
- Writers write 100-word short stories. Storyjacker provides ideas and you can sign up for regular email prompts
- Once a story is in the system it is paired up randomly with another story for reading
- Readers view both stories and decide on their favourite
- Writers can view feedback from these story pairings.If a story loses three lives, it isn't paired again.
Who is it for?
Versus is being designed so that both readers and writers benefit from playing it.
- Readers - read hundreds of free stories and make a judgement on them easily.
- Writers - get your stories read and learn to write better based what people like in your stories.
When will it be ready?
