Exiles is a western themed larp that uses boffers and rubberband guns. It is awesome, frightening and not always PC. I can't wait for the next season. All credit to Jason Tyler for making the video. http://westernlarp.com/

Some one created a Novel writing software. http://www.spacejock.com/yWriter.html
A quick google reveals that it's not the only one out there. This particular one boasts "Organise your novel using a 'project'. Re-order scenes within chapters. Move scenes from one chapter to another" Besides the lack of a spell check, there is a word for software like this... it's called word processing. He's giving this away for free but places like http://www.ravensheadservices.com/ aren't.
A word of advice.... all you need is a word processor. I love MS Word but if I need to focus on writing I use word pad so I can't spell check or word count or do any of the other features that can distract me from the story. Even in note pad I can move my words around, it's called copy and paste. Save your money on things like writers conferences, buying books in the genre you are looking to publish, etc. There isn't a formula to a good book and software that promises you that is laughing all the way to the bank. Writers have a lot of scams out there preying on the ignorant, remember the mantra, Money flows from the publisher to the author. In the words of the immortal Miss Snark, may her stilettos rest in gin, write well.
