A few suggestions for BF

Since some people think that Binary Fiction is getting old, I have thought of a few ideas which could increase it's longevity.
In order of coolness...

1. Random Storyline Generator. (best)
A simple script to negotiate nodes randomly until an end node is found, and display one page containing the complete story up until that point. A bit like Collaborative fiction really, but far less coherent.

2. Colour coded links.
A 'writenew' link should be a different colour from a 'view' link, so you don't have to look at the status bar to see if anyone has written more, and you don't inadvertantly lock a node someone else might be trying to write. A cancel button could be handy too, as I have suggested before.

3. Node counter. (dullest)
You can see how many nodes there are now, so you know if anyone has added any recently.

Just a few suggestions - you don't have to implement them if you don't want to; I mean I'm not forcing you...
