论文摘要
构想对于创造性写作至关重要。许多作者在整个写作过程中都努力提出想法,但是现代写作工具在被困时未能为作家提供现场帮助。本文介绍了Heteroglossia,这是Google文档的附加组件,允许作家使用其文本编辑器从在线人群中引起故事想法。作家可以分享其工作草案的片段,并要求人群基于它提供后续故事想法。 Heteroglossia采用了一种称为“角色扮演”的策略,在该策略中,每个工人都在故事中被分配一个虚构的角色,并要求从该角色的角度集思广益。我们在两个经验丰富的故事作家的部署表明,Heteroglossia易于使用,可以产生有趣的想法。 Heteroglossia使我们能够深入了解如何开发未来的技术来支持创意写作中的构想
Ideation is essential for creative writing. Many authors struggle to come up with ideas throughout the writing process, yet modern writing tools fail to provide on-the-spot assistance for writers when they get stuck. This paper introduces Heteroglossia, an add-on for Google Docs that allows writers to elicit story ideas from the online crowd using their text editors. Writers can share snippets of their working drafts and ask the crowd to provide follow-up story ideas based on it. Heteroglossia employs a strategy called "role play", where each worker is assigned a fictional character in a story and asked to brainstorm plot ideas from that character's perspective. Our deployment with two experienced story writers shows that Heteroglossia is easy to use and can generate interesting ideas. Heteroglossia allows us to gain insight into how future technologies can be developed to support ideation in creative writing
