For story writing, it would be interesting if there is a
dependency tracking system so that you can avoid plot holes.
This is especially if storylines becomes as complex as a
superhero comicbook.
If you change one element of a story, it will computationally
evaluate and highlight the changes
and potential
plotholes/conflicts.

Potential issues in coding this, is dealing with time travel stories
and grandfather paradoxes.
You'd better factor this one into your equations ...

I read that as 'plotline dependency fracking for fictional worlds' which would a neat trick, syphoning off all the whale oil from the lamps in Sherlock Holmes stories. Ok, it's too late in the night for my brain.. |

Why fictional? It seems like this would be a good way to keep track of factions etc in the Middle East, American politics etc. |

Interestingly enough, I saw a claim that memories could be edited...but I can't help feeling I've read that before... |
|

Interesting, how tricky is it for a fair and continous curve be edited and yet stay fair and continuous? Probably down to scale. Whereas something discontinuous and random can be edited to the heart's content. |

Not sure how this would work without some really
advanced a.i. |

There's actually an existing genre of creative writing tools
that can go anywhere from an outliner plus index cards to
something that more or less autocompletes the plot for
you. There are versions for novels and screenplays. (It
might be cheaper to just hire a writer outright, though.) |

Well, I guess it was bound to happen. People keep creating tools. I wonder if those tools produce awful fiction, or merely sad, or if they can be tweaked to be a positive influence on a tale. Probably in the end it comes down to a combination of the tool and the user. |

"The Marshall Plan" is $130, "NewNovelist" is $30. |

In Inuvik, Canada, it was negative five degrees F, and rain was in the forcast. |

Somebody, somewhere, must have attempted to produce a Universal History, in which as much science fiction as possible, from Star Trek to Passengers, is mapped out in time and space. |

[Ian], is it possible that reports that "Ah, no, sorry, the post's been filled by a computer." is simply employers trying to let you down gently? |

Also, have you considered a career in unemployability? |
