And this is exactly why I play MUDs and MMOGs.  I don't play them
because they're such wonderful literary creations.  I'll read a book
if I want compelling writing.  When I play a MUD or a MMOG, I play
because /I/ create my own story in my head with the framework I'm
given by the game.  I don't think that I'm alone in this belief.
