A growing number of websites utilize a bulletin board system, in which the gaming is akin to Collaborative Fiction but known as a " Literary Role-Playing Game " ( not to be confused with LARPs ).
The players contribute to an on-going story with defined parameters but no narrator or directing force.
A ' moderator ' may oversee the gamers to ensure that the rules, guidelines and parameters of the gaming " world " are being upheld, but otherwise the writers are free to interact as players in an improvisational play.
Many of these " Literary RPGs " are fan-fiction based, such as ( most prevalently ) Tolkien's Middle-earth, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Twilight, any number of anime and manga sources, or they are simply based in thematic worlds such as the mythologies of Ancient Greece, fairy tales, the Renaissance or science fiction.
Most often referred to as " Literary RPGs " and place a greater emphasis on writing skill and storytelling ability than on any sense of competition driven outcome.
