View source for Week of Stories

The Week of Stories is a period of time, usually 7 days, following the end of a larp. During the Week of Stories, there is a moratorium on public analysis, critique or criticism of the larp - players are instead encouraged to narrate and reflect on what actually happened at the larp.

The purpose is threefold:
# To give space for nonjudgemental reflection on what players have experienced, a part of [[Aftercare]]
# To give some breathing-space for organizers, who are often too exhausted to deal with criticism in the immediate aftermath of a larp. 
# To focus on sharing and documenting what actually took place at the larp, for later analysis and nostalgia.

Organizers may ask their players to respect a Week of Stories, or players may initiate one at their own initiative.

The concept was introduced at the 2014 larp [[KoiKoi]], and was named "The Week of Stories" at [[Morgenrøde]] the same year.
