I remember this got some traffic when it was first posted, so let's try this again. Basically, you see the latest added line and you have to continue the story from it. At the end, the full story is displayed, I archive it and start a new one. Repeat.
Umm... Shouldn't this go in C&A forums? I mean, this IS technically an activity. :P
- Huw
It was in here last time and mods posted in it, so I think it's fine here.
what a terrible story I contributed to.

*archives it*
Read story 2 in the archives.

No, it's fine here, since it's not an activity directly taken place in the forum.
"he was a robot, and that is how he was programmed to respond" was mine and it totally fits! :D
Weird place.
It's a lot of fun, but there are a few things that suck:
1) There is no time overlap handling -stuff. I thought I wrote a continuation to X, but after the story appeared fully, my continuation had shifted to after Y. It's not hard to add a some sort of check there.
2) The story is complete at the moment - and what, we have to wait until you manually move it elsewhere?
3) The archives are stored as individual lines. This makes reading them hard.
But hey, great work!

It currently uses a messy flatfile database, I just move the secret story file over to the archives directory.
This is pretty fun.
