“In creating wiki, I wanted to stroke that story-telling nature in all of us.”
Ward Cunningham (1949) American computer programmer who developed the first wiki
A Conversation with Ward Cunningham (2003), Exploring with Wiki
Context: I think there's a compelling nature about talking. People like to talk. In creating wiki, I wanted to stroke that story-telling nature in all of us. Second, and perhaps most important, I wanted people who wouldn't normally author to find it comfortable authoring, so that there stood a chance of us discovering the structure of what they had to say.

“I just knew there were stories I wanted to tell.”
Octavia E. Butler (1947–2006) American science fiction writer
“I wanted a different way in which to tell my stories.”
Tom Clancy (1947–2013) American author
2000s, GameSpy interview
Context: I wanted a different way in which to tell my stories. Coming up with concepts for computer games gives me another avenue of creative expression. It's not just me telling the story, it's me designing the idea for a story and letting the players write their own ending.
Stephen A. Smith (1967) sports journalist
