Allow Following a Game
Allow users to search for games in progress, not to join (though that may be an option, determined by the narrator), but to read them.
Allow users the ability to "follow" or "subscribe" to games, with followed games showing on the user's home page under a "You're following..." header, similar to the "You're playing..." header.
Allow users the option to receive an email notice when a followed game has a move or comment posted, much like those for games the user is playing.
I'm really enjoying Storium so far! :D
You can now follow both games and users on Storium!

Along with the above, it might be a good idea to allow narrators to set their stories to "Private" if they don't want them showing in a search. "Public" would be the default, allowing the game to be searched.
Adding age-appropriate ratings for the game may also be useful, if the narrator knows the story matter is going to involve adult themes of any kind (drugs, excessive violence, sexuality, etc.). Since the ToS limits users to age 13 or above, having searchable options of "Public", "Private", or "18+ only" should suffice.
