Once before we commented on the difference between DM and AG (a while ago)
and got a few responses about the game.  Yes, AG allows for writing.  The only
difference is that sometimes it takes longer for you to see it in the
newsletter.  Actually, we just a had a short story writing contest in which the
six best stories received $20 credit to their accounts.  Things are always
changing and hopefully we will see stories posted regular in the newsletter.  I
would have to say that there are not as many 'writers' in AG that submit
stories.  There are no 'help' articles written since most people are contacted
via diplos or phone.  There are some newsletters that some people put out
themselves that contain information.  AG is still fairly new and the GM will
listen to any suggestions carefully.
