Ok, I've actually managed to get most of the website translated into German. Only exception remains the Create & Publish section, which is soon to follow.

A French version is also in the works.

I've also started a collaborative story for anyone who feels inspired to continue writing. It's titled The Epic Caper and it sets two unlikely characters up to start on a doomed caper. What kind of caper? Why don't you help me decide (although I already have some ideas.)

Alright, the site has been up more or less stable for a couple of weeks now. On the features front, I'm still working on a number of improvements. For one, I've started with French and German translations of the interface. Also, I'll soon (re)integrate friend and messaging functionality, which have been switched off for the time being. They will be available in the profile view of each user.

Moreover, now that the site is up, I've started raking my brains for some story ideas for everyone to partake in to kick-start things and get things rolling. My Ruby Railway Adventure story will soon reach its first dramatic plot twist and I've come up with a few collaborative story ideas that everyone can continue. Keep an eye out for them and start posting your own passages.

Of course, don't hesitate to start writing your own stories. Remember, you can write stories in private on the site first and publish them later for everyone to read, only when you're happy with the result.

Oh, if you are suffering from writer's block, this little tool might help you kick-start your inner author.

In the meantime, don't forget to read others' stories, leave (constructive) comments and (fair) ratings.
