well, it's obvious you should just buy it and be stripped of your illusions.
when you'll play it, I hope to read a lot how it wentI kid, I kid
I just did one short on Byron's World. I like how the planets are divided up between styles of different author, but then you also have variations on those styles.
My favorite so far is Bad Poetry Written on a Bus.
There doesn't seem to be any real word limit, although each style has a word count and a section number.
The prompts it gives you really forces you to think about not only what you're going to not only say in the current section, but what type of story you're setting up. You don't know what you'll be prompted to write about next. And the inclusion of different paths you can take on any given planet is a nice bit of non-linearity, as well.
My first story started out about a man going home and simply talking about how his home is now dead. It very quickly became a tale about a man that had, in his youth, sided with the enemy, and watched in horror as his side systematically shut down the education system, the communication system, and eventually drove the remaining population back into a stone age state... only to promptly and finally kill them off.
I titled it Stupid Kids.
