About

Genuine Screen Stories is for people who enjoy noticing how stories change when they move between television, games, animation and online video. We look at the craft behind those changes without assuming you need specialist knowledge to join in.

What we cover

We explore screen forms, story structure, interaction, animation and serial storytelling. That can mean considering how a game teaches through action, why an episode ends where it does, or what animation makes possible. Our focus is on the choices that shape the experience, not on ranking what people ought to enjoy.

Who it is for

This publication is for curious viewers and players, whether you follow screen storytelling closely or are just beginning to notice its patterns. We explain specialist terms when they help, and keep the discussion grounded in ideas readers can carry into their next watch or play.

How we look

We compare forms carefully, separate interpretation from fact, and avoid treating one kind of screen story as the standard for all the others. Our aim is to give readers useful ways to pay attention, not a verdict on what to like.
