I think, of recent, I've read a lot of TS3 stories that are obviously the product of heavy pose-mods, and I started reading about a lot more authors writing their chapters before going into game, so I started thinking that was a more prevalent method... I guess it is a bit of a comfort to hear there are quite a few folks that actually do let the game have quite a bit of control and do their writing second to the gaming. All these stories have been quite interesting. ^_^
As far as the relationship between the pictures and the words, I have always been the sort of person that kind of felt like the pictures told so much of the story that a lot of text wasn't really necessary... sort of like children's picture books. So I always left my text quite sparse. It really hasn't been until recently, seeing works that have far higher word counts, that I've felt the need to reassess my way of doing things.
@mastressalita: I actually got the opposite impression on one of the communities I originally posted on. Most of the stories were game-driven, and also didn't use any mods or custom content. I tried to match the style, but I didn't feel quite at home with it either.
I still allow the game to surprise me a bit, though. :)
