That's my biggest fear about storyline RP. I've gotten involved in some before, and I have felt like I'm not even there. Sometimes I feel like I'm just an extra in someone else's TV show. I often feel like the story has already been written, and that half of the time there's no place for me, but people don't want to feel mean, so they say "oh sure, you can be in our story RP", when really they mean "Oh sure, you can watch our story unfold and not actually have any part of it."
.....

I know snooze. My advice, enable others RP in scenes you create and let them try things etc.. Don't do things with a predefined answer just let them progress with things that seem reasonable. This takes flexibility and a looseness if story to alow.

Conversely the players have to respect someone has put effort into the writing a story. So they should try to work within that or run the risk of the GM going home .

Myself I like it when two story tellers mash together. It becomes like who's line is it anyway... improv and freeform rp.
