One of the weirdest things about writing a text based game is 'drama'. Not in the words, but in the wrapping. If everything just flows together, nothing has any particular weight. It's amazing how much just doing a fade to black or similar adds a sense of Conclusion to a thing...

The Authoring Problem should be coming out in November. I've got a chapter in it about how interactive narrative can place a large burden of content creation and complexity management on its author, and the types of strategies they use to overcome this.
