I honestly think this would be a lovely idea. I allowed revisits for the first time this year given that LOLO's player count has been shrinking (right now I only get 2-5 PM's every 24 hours, and that's if my lights are on constantly). Revisits have been doing well for keeping activity up for me without it being too overwhelming, so I think having multiple stories to add variety to revisits would be beneficial.
I think the things that need to be figured out/decided are how many stories a person can make, and how it will be implemented in the sign-up forms (having more than one story might make it cluttered on the thread).
This will not hinder how I keep track of people since I use ID's and usernames for tracking.
Yeah my thoughts are 1-3 stories per person for starters, or just limiting it to 2 total. We will still need to approve them so we'll probably still have them included in the user's form (and we like having them documented on the thread regardless). We'll probably allow users to enter with their regular first story and then if they want to make more they can add it to their original form and message a mod for a approval.

Regarding the multiple ToTers: I agree with Resplendent. You'd want to still make sure that the stories are appropriate, so you'd have to approve them all (and maybe have a way to see if that specific ToTer has been approved?). However, I think it would make repeats more interesting. One of the reasons I didn't allow revisits this year was I didn't want to have to see the same dress-ups and stories multiple times (especially the ones with smaller fonts that just get tricked anyway). So allowing multiple ToTers might make revisits more interesting.
For the prompt, really feel free to make whatever you want, even if its doesn't look like the actual thing a dressup 'inspired' by it or something like that is totally fine!
Yeah another good reason to have them all documented on the thread after approval, you can search the user's form to find their stories and make sure it's one that went through approval. I def would like to see it used to help get some more variety especially with revisits, its hard to tell how it would be used in practice but at least the idea behind it means someone could restrict revisits to those with multiple stories. That way those who allow revisits can get to see more stories and dressups, and those putting in the effort to make multiple stories get more treats, etc.

Anyway yeah the multiple stories idea is still just preliminary, but assuming people like the idea we'll probably put it into practice next year. I'd def like to start allowing more freedom with LOLO where we can.
