Twine Tools

Most of my Twine toolchain involves getting longer stories in and out of Scrivener, and so is documented as part of Scree, but I thought it might be helpful to go over it from a non-Scree perspective as well. A few basics of the Twine ecosystem will help here:

Screes

Story Formats

Styles

I blogged the following CSS, when I used it to make SugarCube 2 look a bit more like SugarCube 1 in Choose Your Own Writing Career. To use it, place it in your StoryStyles section (in a Twee file) or into the Stylesheet popup accessible from Twine 2’s story menu. If you are also using Bleached (like I was), place it after all the Bleached styles.
