Linear Story as default, to help new users?

I think this is another "default setting" which causes problems.

I have noticed a lot of newbies recently have started stories as "Addventures" and have ended the first branch with two titles chosen off the top of their head. Often, it's two tags, or categories, such as "humour", "poetry", Story", "fun" or whatever, or occasionally they call the two branches "Chapter One" and "Chapter Two", which is obviously not going to work for branches.
Sometimes it's obvious that they don't want anyone to add, anyway, but if they do, these rather odd titles don't exactly encourage people to do so and the story almost always ends up being "orphaned".

If you were to change the default setting for new stories to "Linear", I think this problem could be avoided. I'm sure people would still start Addventures, because they're fun, but I think the majority start off with a Linear Story anyway. If people were to read the "Getting Started" section before they started a story, I don't think the problem would arise, but we all know it's human nature not to "read the instruction booklet" first, so sometimes they need a little help!
