== Spooks.me ==
Spooks is an open world pixel game that is currently maintained by [[Fp|FP]] and [[InfraRaven]], where users can customize their avatars and interact with other players.
It was initially created by a YWOT user named [[Kevin]], though he abandoned the project in 2022.
The development of Spooks is heavily intertwined with both the OWOT and OWOP communities, and the site itself shares the same [[Uvias]] login system as the two aforementioned canvases. However it is not an infinite canvas, and as such will not be placed among "''The Three Sites''" despite being a sister website of OWOT.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

[https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Written_World Written World] was a 2011 YWOT clone whose canvas used a real world street map for its background. In addition to basic YWOT features, users were able to change their text colors and the direction they typed in(''i.e. you could set it so that you typed downwards or backwards by default''). The creator also assigned animations to actions like typing and deleting, intending to encourage "constructive participation" by making edits feel more engaging. Other utilities included an "echoing" feature that was "analogous to upvoting" and allowed users to "add permanence" to content they thought was good.
