"It's the gavel's sheen that screws us all" you told me, "It turns, it tapers off that glimmering, shining city on a hill"...

The date is 13 November 2079, and your name is William Madison, a lawyer in Washington DC with the Innocence Project, trying to do whatever good you can in a broken, dystopic America: a world where justice and popularity have merged, democracy runs amok, a fickle public condemns, the innocent get the needle, reality TV distorts the truth, and celebrity criminals reign supreme...and in that garbled mess, when a troubled young teen strangles a charismatic preacher, you are faced with your hardest challenge yet: find a way to work with an old flame to help an unsympathetic father-killer escape the needle, no matter what it takes...

Author's Note: This is definitely more 'story' than 'game', you make choices along the way but the basic plot-line remains the same, although there are many mini-games in every chapter when you have to navigate 'challenges' like cross-examining witnesses, talking to difficult clients or negotiating with opponents, with differing results based on your choices. There are also certain pivotal 'challenges' that determine whether you get the so-called "successful" ending.

Of course, thanks so much for the kind offer :)

Ahh nice name haha, and thanks I'll keep that in mind then

Thanks for the welcome :)

Ohh okay thanks so much, appreciate it a lot :)

Haha uhh thanks for the compliment, although I'm curious how you know I'm a "better author" given that I've never published any stories before

Haha alright got it, I'll head over there and see how....also why shouldn't I listen to him? I'm guessing this is some playful inside joke I prob don't get since I'm new here?

Sure thing, I'll be sure to send her a message, thanks so much I really appreciate it :)

Hey, a newbie here, been playing storygames here for a while but I kinda decided maybe I'd try and write a storygame myself, just for fun. Was wondering about the community here and if there's any avenue for newbies to get advice from seasoned ppl abt how to write and publish storygames? Thanks!
