Editing Coordinating Pause (section)

===Length===

The length of a story can vary from story to story. There are some stories which can work well as a one-shot, meaning that the entire story from beginning to finish can take only one or two game sessions. Others can go on over a longer period of time, meaning that it can go over weeks or months worth of game sessions.

Creating a one-shot is noticeably easier than a longer story. As such, if a Coordinator chooses the latter of the two, it would be useful to divide the action by game sessions. Think of each session in terms of a chapter or two in a novel. There is a definite series of events in each chapter, as well as a place to begin and a place to end in the chapter.

Again, keep the details reduced to those which must absolutely be explored. When planning a longer story, keep in mind where the story should lead, but considering the unpredictability of the Players, detail out only a chapter at a time and work on future chapters based on the actions of the characters in the previous chapters.
