Several tiny intimate story combined creates one larger far-reaching story!
After reading through the forum, I came upon a topic relating to free play and membership and it cites, "three people per story led to the most successful games". A statement I found informative, sparking a idea.
The idea is simple, why not allow the creation of several self contained stories, each populated with three different people plus the host, inhabiting the same world/story space, with two unique
mechanics, the first and second being, that each self contained story can choose to interact with one another and exchange people/players as long as its implicated within the plot.
A additional optional mechanic, would be the ability for any players to create a temporary scene
that any players can interact and expand upon.
This is the idea, as for how it would be executed, that is up to the developers if they ever consider it in the future.

Let say you liked a particular story created at storium and want to not only play in it but build on whats already their, what I am suggesting is that other players should be able to ask said creator and with their acceptance be able to do it, like franchising a story world but instead of having separate story's here and their, they should be able to have a home page of sort that links them and makes it easier to access

Here is a reiteration of the above idea, what I really mean is if Storium's game setup or the way in which the games are created could accommodate this in some way as a option, like extra buttons and settings you can use etc..

I forgot to mention that each self contained story, if and when they interact can also exchange knowledge, objects etc.. obtained from their respective stories, for example: lets say in one self contained stories they discover/create a location, object etc.. this things can be recycled and reuse by other self contained stories if they meet with this particular self contained stories to use, creating a far reaching lore and idealism that is universal to each self contain stories.

Outline of possible mechanics, that could creates a eternal world were infinite number of stories can take place in.
