StorySpiral is a collaborative storytelling platform where users write stories together. You can:
- Start a new story
- Add to other stories with your own “spirals” (contributions)
- Read and enjoy completed stories
- Earn titles based on your contributions
- Create an account — click “Register” in the menu
- Log in with your e-mail and password
- Write your first story — use “Create a new story”
- Add spirals — read other stories and add contributions
- Earn titles — every 10 contributions you unlock a new title!
A Spiral is your contribution to a story — the next chapter or part you add to a story started by others.
Example:
- Spiral 1: User A writes the first part
- Spiral 2: User B adds the next part
- Spiral 3: User C adds another part
No, not immediately. To keep stories collaborative:
- You can start your story
- You cannot add the next spiral immediately
- Someone else must contribute first
- Then you still can’t contribute again (rotation)
- After another user adds their spiral, you can contribute again
You earn titles based on how many spirals you’ve contributed:
- 10+ spirals: Beginner
- 20+: Story Contributor
- 30+: Tale Weaver
- 50+: Legend Builder
- 100+: Master Storyteller
