  I've noticed a distinct lack of good story games over the past few months. What has happened to them all?

 It seems like even "Endmaster"  has run out of stories.

I've been coming on this site every weekend looking for a good story, but found none. Any ideas as to why this is?

According to your point total, you haven't played anything close to all of the good games on this site.

 I was only referencing Endmaster because he has such great stories. And, my point total is so low because I often forget to rate. I've played all of the featured stories (including all of their endings), a whole lot of well rated stories, and almost every new story that comes out. I'm not being ignorant. It seems as if no one can do more than have "good" potential these days.

Again, it takes years for many a human to write 300 page novels, Endmaster has been writing 73% of his story thus far, and it's 673 pages, he's still typing madly as we speak. It takes a long time.

Actually, he finished it a day or two ago.

In fact, those 600 or so pages are only the pages for his new path, which he released.

Probably because it tends to take a pretty long time to make a good one. Endmaster has been working on the new eternal since months before I joined, BerkaZerka's working on at east two that I've heard of. The reason that it seems like there aren't many good things being made new these days is because it takes a long fucking time to make a single one, they weren't all made in quick succession, They're all old because the users are old, and most are inactive, and those that are still there have been working on it since the big "stop" arrived. They were probably spaced pretty far apart time-wise in their day too.

Yes, I like that, "The Big Stop." Anyway look at my other comment.

Um, you havent played any of the good games on the site, at least according to your points. Just look at the top charts, should give you some games to play for a month. 

 Look at my first comment.

Yup, we just have to wait until the next prodigy pops up, or BZ finishes his next game. 

But there have been some good recent games, like Kiel_Farren's game, though he's editing it currently.

What is his game called? I'm not sure if I've seen it yet.

Oh, might have to replay "Eternal" then...

Hope so.

You could try infinite-story.com or choiceofgames.com if you haven't already.

Paradox Factor is my favorite story.
