1. Story writing. As a guest, let me write my story right away. Give a few story ideas.
2. Sign up. Make it optional. Tell me I can share my story anonymously but if I want to keep it forever, allow me to sign up then.

Simple WHOIS shows that storylane.com is online since 2003 (although this service probably wasn't there, but I am a user of storylane since about march 2012) and remenis.com was created on 18-Jun-12, so you've got that clone the other way around.
Your logo is similar to: http://codegram.com/

I know the founder of remenis.com he explained to me the idea in Dec 2011. But good luck to everyone, I was never super impressed with the idea in the first place. Whats the difference between this and blogging socially on wordpress.com or blogger or tumblr?
That's good for him, but you can hardly clone something, that's an idea in someone's had, right? Thus it seems that - shocker - there was no cloning involved.

I bet that the authors can explain this better than I can (if they haven't yet in this post on HN)

My answer would be: focus. It's nice that you visited YetAnotherCon 2012, and created ten blog posts about it, but honestly, I don't really care.
Storylane focuses on telling stories. http://folklore.org, which does something similar, although even more focussed, is a fantastic read. My hope is that similar intriguing insights into people's lives pop up on Storylane.

I like the sound of "A library of human experiences" - it grabs me more than "People sharing things that matter". Perhaps there is an example or demo you could make public, to give less adventurous visitors (like me) an idea of what it does? (edit: like the /gauss link I just noticed - now I like it) I'm all for stealth but IMO this is too stealth.
Point taken, and it seems to be a common thread. We need to think about how to do this better. The reason we care about registrations is because we look at it as a community not a marketplace for content.
Building a bad community, not setting precedent, training up people and solidifying a culture are pretty lethal to your stated goal.
Once you are open to all, your constant battle will always be:
1) Not let the Signal to Noise ratio degenerate 2) Be able to split the Signal down into sub categories for people to process, as opposed to a torrent which then leads to arbitrary discarding of significant data.
Fantastic! What the hell does it do? I'm not signing up without knowing a single thing about this service.
