Narrative structure models are useful tools for understand-ing how and why narratives of any medium affect an audi-ence’s level of participation in their role of story reconstruc-tion and understanding. 14 With the advent of the com-puter comes the potential to negotiate through many such models and variables within models as a means of generat-ing multiple narratives quickly and semi-autonomously. The computational narrative model presented in this paper offers one approach to narrative generation, that of splitting narrative structure; 2) defining a collection and organization of story pieces with some representation of their meaning; and 3) a navigational strategy or reasoning through that col-lection of story pieces. Agent Stories is a story design and presentation environment for non-linear, multiple-point-of-view cinematic stories. It is designed to be placed in the hands of the non-linear story writer to use as a tool to pro-mote structuring and re-writing of non-linear narratives be-fore and as they are realized in audio and video.
