That's a cool script. Perhaps a link to it should be put on the first page. It doesn't seem to like things in tags, though, as there are some words missing, which looked like words in tags (although my memory fails me).

My favourite sentence, though is, "Living Tar grows In level eight thousand, five hundred and twenty two."

It made me laugh so much when I spotted it.

On closer examination

I updated the story so far so that it shows the emoticons. It's still a pretty dumb script, it simply looks for each occurance of the subject line and assumes the next line contains the next part of the story (and nothing else). If anyone wants to improve it, I attached it here. Note that rule #7 (which I interpret as disallowing any posts without a 3 word contribution) is very important, as it will break the script if not followed). Also, it currently only gets updated manually.
