The e-book version is a bargain!
My piece "A Chair Left Empty" is about grief, serendipity, opening a chest in Persona 3, choices we can't make anymore etc. Pretty experimental and very personal.

GameDev.tv Indie Game Dev Fund - Support for Indie Devs | GameDev.tv
Learn how the GameDev.tv Indie Game Dev Fund gives one-time cash boosts and extra visibility to promising indie projects and how to apply with your prototype.
Spotted from @remotegamejobs.com; GameDev.tv is offering 5 indie game devs $500 each as a sponsorship and applications close March 8th. That may be comparatively small to some, but to a lot of teams that can be a big help, and I love to see this kind of generous support.

indeed, no out of the box existing tools. it's really hard to imagine what it'd look like beyond a dialogue parser (that many plugins do)
I don't think I know what a "standard narrative job" would mean in games

If folks are curious, I curated a list of narrative tools for games here a while ago litotic.com/ndwiki/doku....
many of them are free or have trial versions
many game studios use custom tools
(it's not the most up to date, but can give you pointers, depending on what you're trying to do)
