Wow, chatsubo... now there's a bit of nostalgia :)
Somehow the group-story-telling aspect of chatsubo reminds me of something I saw on the net somewhere which seemed like an interesting idea... I don't have the URL around, but it was basically a Wiki-Choose-Your-Own-Adventure. Each "node" described your situation and then presented various options for what you could do, just as a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book. You could follow one of the choices and see what happened, or you could use the Wiki aspects of the site to add a new choice to that node and describe what happened if you did that.
When I glanced at it, it was suffering from the problem that when you open something up to the whole world, many people are idiots. I think one of the choices on one of the very first pages was something like "Use my omnipotent powers to destroy the universe." But if you limited access to people you trusted to play by the rules, and/or had some kind of pruning mechanism for getting rid of crap, it could be pretty interesting.
Not that any of that is particularly relevant to what you said, but it reminded me of the Wiki thing and I thought you might find it a neat concept.
