title = "Theoretical considerations towards authoring emergent narrative",
abstract = "Unlike linear storytelling, an Emergent Narrative only truly exists at run-time and can only be visualized retrospectively. The author is engaged in creating a hypothetical narrative space on the basis of individual character behaviors, story interventions and likely occurrences. While an Emergent Narrative approach allows for a flexible and adaptable run-time rendering of a scenario, it also causes considerable strains on the authoring process. If such a concept is to prove both tangible and produce qualitative outputs, creative writers need to be able to relate to it as a potential mode of expression. In this discussion article, we aim to explore theoretical considerations towards authoring Emergent Narrative, provide a discussion on the context surrounding the authorial process and the structure it should follow. Finally, we introduce the concept of Intelligent Narrative Feedback as a necessary core element for an efficient authoring process for EN experiences.",
