Description:
You know that game that people sometimes play at camp where you sit in a circle and someone says a word and then the next person says a word to continue a story and you keep going around until you have a story, imagine that in a website. It would be the Wikipedia of funny, random stories.
Instead of submitting a single word, each user would submit a sentence or paragraph. Each user would be able to vote to publish a story when he/she think it is done, enough votes and the story will be locked. The stories could be rated by users, so that people visiting the site can view the best stories or the worst stories. There could be categories such as drama, spooky, rhyme, rap, or haiku.

Cool! You could also make this even more open-ended and use it as a super-general collaboration tool so people could build up anything they want. This type of emergent behavior could let you tap into different markets.

Sounds more appropriate for a Facebook app.
