release really small amounts of it at a time, like maybe even sentences at a time. And you give a few options (maybe lots of options). And people vote on the next sentence.

The more I think of this, the more I like it.

I may have to try something like this out, but more of a game style of story telling. I could set up a story and then give options of dialog or actions and let the voters choose the path the protagonist goes.

It could be really fun. Probably not "novel" quality, but totally worth a try. No point in pining over what could be if the system allowed it, when I can try something that will work with the system we do have.

I think, I'm going to give it a go.
