RWIntNovels (RWIN) is a community and collaboration site for readers and writers of next generation pieces using the full technology of the web.

Our focus is on introducing relatively new forms of media that takes reader participation to the next level and promotes open/social story authoring. Our story modes are:

Collaborative Story: Writers submit chapters, members vote. Chapters with > minimun number of votes and with at least 80% approval are promoted into canon. All canon chapters are then branching plot points from which additional chapters may added onto.

Interactive Novel: A novel with reader-choices. Use simple web links to create branching plot-lines and interactivity.

Sandbox Story: A free-for all wiki story that the community hacks into shape as one.

Visual Novel: Perhaps better called a combination multimedia interactive ultimate story delivery system. Visual novels typically combine background images with text to tell a story, but may also involve numerous other effects as well. *

 

The design is good, although I would go for a lighter background colour. It also needs a logo and some graphics. The site loads fast.

 

I found it hard to determine where the main content is. It's alot of different links to click, and I don't know where to start.
It might serve you well if you made a clear field in the middle where new visitors can get a quick understanding of what your site is about. It took me a time to figure it out.

 

The design is not that well thought out. It is cool, but you may want to have a few friends try to navigate through your site, so you can see where the design needs improvement.
