Secret intrigues, scenes not meant to be for everybody, or shortcuts in a story only available to a chosen few? All that’s possible now with storylike.

You can share single plot lines with individual storylikers. Specify in a storyblock’s settings (click “Edit” and then “More”) the storylikers you want to be able to read it - indepent of all other settings of the story. In the text and the map, the respective plot lines will stay invisible to all other storylikers.

With hidden story paths, you can add a special, thrilling level to your stories and turn them into even better adventures that each and every one of your readers and co-writers may experience on their own.

Intrigues and deceit, but also a story’s or campaign’s golden thread or even as small a thing as the central villain’s background require one essential thing: secrecy. And the more people contribute to a story, the harder secrecy is to ensure.

In storylike, you may now solve this problem by giving access to whole wikis, individual wiki collections, or even individual wiki articles to a chosen few. To do that, click on “Edit” in wikis, wiki collections, or wiki articles, and enter the storylikers you want to access the respective information under “Read” or “Reader” in the section “Access” or “Access Control”.

This way, you can now exchange ideas with your contributors on how the story may go on much easier, and all of you can keep up to date without any danger of spoilering your readers unintentionally.

In March, we’ll not only be in Leipzig, oh no! On March 7-8, 2020, we’ll also be taking part at Weltenwerker Konvent in Gießen, Germany. From 10 a.m., we’ll have our booth ready for you at Messe Gießen with cozy cushions, loads of stories, delicious candy, and one or two vouchers. So, come on over and stay a while, we won’t bite!

Only rarely, an idea is so clear from the beginning that you know at all times which scenes belong where and which ones need to be next to each other. The more complex plot lines get, the more important it is to be able to cut threads and develop them separately before weaving them back into the original story.

In storylike, you may now very easily detach individual blocks or even whole plot lines from the story. Just delete their connection to the preceding block in the story’s map. For better overview, move the now stray block or plot line to the side a bit. And as soon as you know where it ought to be, simply draw a new line in the map in order to reintegrate it into the story.

This way, writing gets a helluva lot easier because you can put any story block at any position at any time. If you want, you can even create multiple starting points for your story.

The best ideas often develop while writing. As a consequence, only few wikis are already complete from the beginning: Characters, places, artifacts, and other things are added on the go, or they get better, clearer keywords.

From now, you have a button in storylike that allows you to resync individual wiki articles or whole wikis with your stories. Just navigate to a wiki, a wiki collection, or a wiki article, hit the button “Update Keywords” and choose the stories you want to resync with. Storylike will automatically scan them and adds links where they can be clearly match with (new) keywords.

So let storylike make sure all links in your stories point to the right wiki articles at all times - and put your feet up.
