Due to the slow nature of a text based game, it is often necessary to handwave chunks of game time, to help keep the game feeling believable.  During the passing of time, I encourage the players to write side pieces and explore the aspects of their life that can't be covered during game moves.  The players consistently rise to that challenge and produce some really exciting scenarios. 

The pages that follow, highlight the character fiction that takes place January through March of 2009 (GAME TIME).
