Idea - Story writing software

[knight_medek]

I had an idea, but I'm not going to financially back it up or anything, which means, I won't provide funds for it. But I thought that I should make this idea out there. I know that there is a story writing software already out there called nimble writer, but I was hoping that there could be a software to help people better than that. I've heard of scrivener, and I think it'd be cool if there was something like that on the market. Either that or something like a story organizer that can connect with a writing community. Just thought that steam could expand a bit since I already know that there are story writing softwares out there.

Plus, I am really interested in writing stories and stuff. I just thought it would be more convenient for people who like writing, and since I already have a steam account, it's be easier to keep all of my stuff in one place.

Possible features:
Multiplayer or Co-op - to be able to connect with other writers for collaboration
Singleplayer - to be able to think and put down ideas on your own
Organizer - file documents, ideas, etc.
Tutorials - easy to understand how-to's to make story writing easier
Writer's workshops - online workshops where people look at work and review it as a group to help improve writing skills
Lessons - lectures to help improve writing, sort of like the tutorials, except they answer live questions and are more interactive
Copyright - payments are made to legally copyright their work (if needed)
Editor - part of the program just helps point out common mistakes that are able to be found esily by a computer so that the writer has an easier time with it
Other features: thesaurus, dictionary, etc.

Scrivener is what you want if you're writing stories. Reallyt though. Most software that bills itself as writing software.. is a joke are really just exists to make eager neophyte writers think there's a shortcut; some magical software that will make the writing stuff easier.

There are three outthere

Scrivener - if you want to spend money. But be warned. if you're a windows or linux person, you are (as far as the developer is concerned) a second/third class customer. Most of the new features and development have been taking place on the IOs ports, with the mac ports being secondary and windows getting updates... whenevr the dev can be bothered. if you're going to spend money. This is the thing you want

yWriter - Like scriventer but a bit less intutive, a bit less forgiving of dynamic story alteration, buuut it's free. So there''s that. Supports many of the same features as Scrivener anbd a few that Scrivener is lacking.

Q10 - No nonsense basic text editor. DIstraction free writing.

There's also notepad++, wordpad, Microsoft word. All these are about as good as any other writing software you'd buy.
