Bookworm
Glossary
Story
A story on Bookworm is a collection of text passages. At the end of each, the story may branch allowing readers to choose how to continue. Once a passage has no more passage to follow it, the end of the story is reached.
Readers also can become writers of a story, if its author has enabled collaboration on it.
Passage
A passage is a segment of text within a story. Passages can end in a choice of what-happens-next or simply continue with a single other passage, depending on how the author(s) decided to construct the story-line.
Author
The author is you. As a creative author, you write and publish stories. As a collaborating author you add to and enrich your fellow authors' work. And as a reader, you also pen your own experience of a story by deciding along which path a story unfolds.
Interactive Audiobooks
Coming soon!
Bookworm audiobooks are read-aloud, interactive versions of the stories available on this website. Audiobooks can be started from any point in a story. They are interactive, using advanced speech-recognition and Skype.
This feature allows readers and listeners to get involved in the story directly.
Audiobooks are generated automatically from text using quality voice-synthesis. Or they can be user produced from audio files of the text.
They are currently only available to users with a SkypeOut Account
Choice
A choice - in Bookwork terms - is the option that you, as the reader, make to take the story down a particular path. If you don't like the choices available to you, simply write your own!
