Infernal Scoop is a crowdsourced storytelling site with a no-nonsense, functionalist vibe. Create a story, let readers wander through branching plot developments, and watch everything go weird and wild as they add their own. The format is geared to paragraph-length units posted anonymously—there doesn’t seem to even be a way to set up an account—so it feels like a crazy experiment in “authorless” interactive fiction.

There are other sites like it, but this one has the feel of a tool rather than an environment. The street is finding its own uses.
