Re: [-empyre-] Locative fiction and poetry

Most everyone I know of is cooking up their own software, thats certainly
the approach we have taken. I have half expected to see some commercial 
software for this sort of thing by now, but as of yet, there is none that
I know of.

Lets be honest Naomi, Jeremy and I are artists and we rolled our own, so
its certainly not that hard to write.

You could try asking around the Locative mailing list, here is the
archive: locative.x-i.net/archive/

There are a number of groups working on formats to exchange the coordinate
and info packets and databases to hold that info as well. All in all I
think you are going to have to find someone with software you can use or
roll your own.
