If anybody makes it along to the talk would they consider posting a
condensation of Andrew Glassner's talk. I would love to know what he has to
say. I am just now quitting my paid job to embark on my own VR fiction

I have been thinking about how best to script a 3d story. I have for some
time enjoyed reading scripts and have often thought how writing 3d story
would differ from writing a standard film script.
I started writing a story a couple of years ago with the intention of

Hi Peoples,
I just invited Mark Pesce. I actually promised him some time back that I
would let him know how to join, but work and my sieve-like brain delayed that.
He expressed interest in VR fiction when I spoke to him briefly last month

I am hoping to do some VR fiction in the next few months if I get time.
