The website blog.simondlr.com explores the concept of "infinite storytelling" as opposed to "finite storytelling". The author contrasts these two forms of storytelling by comparing them to finite and infinite games. While finite stories end with a clear resolution, infinite stories continue indefinitely through the contributions of many collaborators. The author uses SCP, Life of Norman, and Have We Met as examples of infinite stories, highlighting their collaborative nature, emphasis on surprise, and the potential for continuous expansion. The article also explores the implications of these storytelling approaches, arguing that infinite stories offer a more joyous and open-ended exploration of the world, while finite stories focus on saving the world through conflict and resolution.
