We should decide on some official terminology to be used on any public-facing documentation. Off the top of my head, some terms we'll need to settle on:

* The name of the thing people are interacting with. "Game" seems like the most obvious, but I also find "Story" very appealing. Not quite as loaded as "Game", in my opinion.
* The name of the person interacting with the game. Even though I favor "Story" over "Game", I think I prefer "Player" over something like "Reader". Is there anything else?
* The name of the person who creates the games. "Author"? "Writer"? "Creator"? Not sure...
* The name of the game file, the JSON. If we go with "Game" then "File" might actually be right. "Script" and "Code" are also interesting.
