Line Stories
Okay, this is simply the campfire game adapted to internet format. You start a story with a single sentence, and then somebody else has to continue the story by adding a sentence.
If two days pass without a post, the story is considered a 'dead-end' and the next poster can start a new story.

The first said, "Well there goes all of our secret shady deal meeting spots in one fell swoop."
-
On the other side of the building, a lone figure jumps out of the top story window onto the rope ladder of a helicopter - clutched in his hands a manilla folder chock full of documents.
