In computer-based interactive narrative, a key challenge is the conflict between user agency and authorial control of the story quality. In this paper, we use the constructs of character status and status shifts from improvisational and interactive theatre to further engage users in the creative process of co-creating the story. Based on the cognitive semantics theory of force dynamics, we develop a computational model of status shifts.
