We have performed an empirical evaluation on the effectiveness of our approach. The results indicate that gender and age play important roles in affecting one’s subjective experience. For younger subjects, stories with mixed amount of novelty and topic consistency are more preferred while for older subjects, larger amounts of variation are preferred. Additionally, in general, women enjoyed the stories more
