ABSTRACT
True Stories is a unique graphic novel based on actual events that occurred in the game EVE Online, a massive multiplayer online role-playing game set in space 20,000 years in the future. The stories are inspired by player-driven events within the universe, submitted by players, who also commented and voted on them to finally have a few chosen ones presented to writer Daniel Way. The audience got to be part of creating a graphic novel by contributing with a version of their own, real-life experiences within the EVE Online game and universe. True Stories is a good representation of placing the audience at the centre of attention by the developers of the EVE Online game. The storytelling around the game evolves with the players and their stories and instead of rejecting and reclaiming their control developers have accepted this dynamic, creating a unique virtual and fictional space that belongs to the players.
