The MyUO portion of the UO website does some interesting stuff on this
front, including letting you display your character's in-game appearance on
the website, dislpay guild affiliations, etc... it's all done by datamining
the game's database. This is nice because presumably whatever content
restrictions you have in your policies will already be enforced on your
actual in-game content.

As far as putting up stories--there is a very large concern with
user-generated content and liability there, even for hobbyist muds. It's
very easy for this to outpace your ability to vet the submitted content,
leading to your website hosting material that you may well not want on
there.
