Allow narrators to set the approximate duration of new games
The "game speed" setting lets you know how often you're expected to post, but not for how long. Before applying to join a game, it would be useful to know whether you're committing to a short story that will play out in a month, or a novel that will go on indefinitely.
An "approximate duration" setting would complete the picture for prospective players. It would also make it easy for new players to seek out short games where they can learn the ropes, make friends, and experiment with different character types/settings before committing themselves to longer stories.

Narrators can now choose a story format (Short Story, Novella, Novel, Epic, etc) or pre-set a number of Acts and Scenes before opening for applications to give players an idea of the game length.
