I'm throwing around the idea of adding a visual distinction between completed and non-completed branches. The problem that poses is that people will be more likely to click on completed branches to keep reading, which may deter people from posting new branches. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, or a bad thing, but I may experiment with it and see if it works. It's a relatively simple change, either way, so turning it back off in case it starts causing problems would be pretty easy.
As to your other point, TWG's request to link to previous branches actually works now (try "link to existing branch" when posting branch titles). As for the idea of creating new branches in addition to the author's, it's a cool idea, but I think it goes against the spirit of the addventure. If you're branching a story, you should really try to stick to the theme of what the original author posted, at least in general; if you're trying to go on your own tangent in a story, try to do so within the confines of subject matter. If I allowed people to add new paths to existing posts, it could become quite hectic and may ruin the intended effect by the post's author. I'd consider that more hijacking than the other way around. But thanks for the suggestions nonetheless. :)"
