One opening line. A thousand ways it could go.
StoryTree is fiction written by a crowd. Nobody owns the whole story — someone plants an opening, strangers write what happens next, and every choice splits the tale into new branches. The same story can end a dozen different ways, and all of them count.
How it works
- 1Read
Every story starts with one opening paragraph. Pick any story that looks fun — no account needed to read.
- 2Choose
At the end of each paragraph the story forks. Different writers took it in different directions. Pick the future you like, or flip through the alternatives.
- 3Write
Reached a branch nobody has continued? Write what happens next — one beat, a few lines. Simple words are perfect. Your English doesn't have to be fancy; it just has to be yours.
- 4Vote
Readers vote the best continuations to the top, and the most-loved chain of paragraphs becomes the story's popular path. The crowd decides where the story goes.
A few house rules
- Branches stay open. Someone can mark their paragraph as an ending — that path stops there — but the fork above it stays open forever. You can always climb back and take the story somewhere else.
- Ratings mean something. Every story carries a rating — Everyone, Teen, or Mature — and continuations should fit it. Nothing explicit, anywhere.
- Be decent. No slurs, no harassment, no spam. Paragraphs can be reported and moderators act on it.
- It’s a crowd, not a contest.Rough edges are welcome. A plain sentence that moves the story beats a fancy one that doesn’t.
