A study on the efficiency of creating stories by the use of templates

Abstract

The efficiency of creating stories by writers is very important for publishing a plentiful supply of products in the market. Although there are only a handful of matured writers, little research has been reported regarding a computational approach to support the creation of stories. In order to help amateur writers with creating well organized stories, we propose a newly developed system based on the four templates. In this paper, we constructed a system referring to the previous study and presented the outline of the novel system by utilizing templates. To confirm the efficiency of templates, user experiments were performed. From the experiments, we found that the backgrounds of characters are the most significant ingredient for the creation of attractive stories. Finally, we discuss the requirements for developing our system.
