I'm a big fan of interactive storytelling and really love that the website offers this option, but there's one thing that bugs me: the absence of a way to "merge" story threads together. Let's say I want to create a story where the characters can choose between multiple different paths that all lead to the same outcome. The only way of doing that would be to post each chapter multiple times after the story threads have converged, which would become increasingly tedious and even impossible after a while. It would be great to have the ability to link chapters from a different thread as an option. Doing that would allow for far more inventive uses of interactive stories, including semi-linear narratives that could go in multiple directions before going back to the main plot, or even building full fledged adventure games where you can backtrack by linking to previous chapters.
