What is StoryTeller
StoryTeller is a JavaScript application which allows you to create simple interactive stories as HTML documents.It was inspired by Twine (http://twinery.org/) and I strongly reccommed checking out that project to see if it suits your needs first. It's a much more mature project and has been used to create a good number of stories already.
I wrote StoryTeller because of two issues I had with Twine (at least at the time I started this project). Most important was the fact that it did not have good support for random events*. I wanted to create something closer to a gamebook (think Lone Wolf) than a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure story. A much more minor issue was that Twine insisted on using a chapter's unique identifier as its displayed heading. This made it impossible to have two pages with the same title.
*Note: I've since been informed that Twine now has better support for random events (see here, or here).
Another project to check out is Undum (http://undum.com/).
