Change deletion requirements.
Some stories which were originally just to be suspended go on to the point of no return, where those who are still in the story never look at it. This means that if the narrator decides they want to delete it they cant because no one else will confirm in the comments. I say that the story should only be deletable by the narrator without the consent of other players after 3 months of no activity.

As per the deletion guidelines any games under a Community or Creative Commons must have the agreement of all players (https://storium.com/deletions). This will not be time-dependent
A game run under the Host license can be deleted by the Host at any time.

It's fascinating how some stories that were initially intended to be temporary end up taking unexpected twists and become permanent fixtures. This phenomenon highlights a unique challenge where those who are still actively engaged in the story no longer pay attention to it, leaving the narrator in a bind. The idea of allowing the narrator to delete the story after three months of inactivity without requiring consent from other players seems reasonable. It provides a fair opportunity for the narrator to tidy up the narrative space, ensuring that inactive stories don't clutter the platform indefinitely. Ultimately, finding a balance between preserving the integrity of ongoing stories and allowing narrators the necessary flexibility to manage their creations is crucial.

Agreed. I have a private story set up with a friend so I could figure out how to use Storium as a narrator.
He's never posted in the story. I can't even get him to read the comments and so it just sits. Dead as a doorknob smalls.
I can't delete it because he's too lazy to help me out and take the necessary steps to complete the process.
I 'certainly' could Complete the game but I don't feel like that is acurrate.
