Someone -seems- to be angling to have the addventure page on wikipedia go away. They're insisting on third party sources that talk about extendable story games. Does anyone have any links?

There is the Interactive Story Web Ring. There might be a link to something useful on there.

There is also a relevant page on the Open Directory Project.

There is a book that cites the Unending Addventure:

http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en ... 0097835964

Here is the Amazon.Com URL for that book:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0801855799

I remember someone asking me for help with adapting Extend-A-Story for use in some academic area, but I'm unable to find anything about it using Google Scholar.

Honestly, not too much comes up when I search for Addventure or Extend-A-Story. I'm not too familiar with the Wikipedia guidelines, so I'm not really sure how to deal with the current situation.

The problem seems to be a lack of people -uninvolved- with extendable story websites writing news stories about 'em.

Yeah... I can see how that might be a problem. The best option I could think of would be the book I mentioned. I can't think of any other 3rd party sources that have written about extendable story web sites.
