This week at the #INTERACT conference I will present our research into Online Collaborative Story Writing systems.

We studied how people collaborate to write shared narratives, considering works since 2012. Among others, we review works by @andresmh @Riedl @msbernst

We put all this in perspective adapting Lowry's 2004 Taxonomy of Collaborative Writing to online authoring of narrative.

Our review shows how focus is on rudimentary activities like writing and revising. Yet, other important activities and roles such as outlining, leadership, facilitation, etc. remain left out. This is probably due to these tasks commonly remaining implicit in individual authoring. Yet, arguably these are what makes good narratives stand out.
