This is another feature that was driven by the desire to give the creative community an outlet for what they were already making and writing on forums and our desire for a new story system. The decision was made to give them both the flexibility to write their own stories which would generate content for the entire dynasty.

Honestly we just provided the framework and functionality for videos and photos, and what the community created was fantastic. We were seeing amazing stories go up rather consistently. Combined with the website functionality, this feature really increases immersion in the mode.
