Ok, thanks for the tip! It helped but, unfortunately I'm still having problems. From what I can tell, after making your suggested change, the $:/StoryList is updated by the editing user only now, which means I can't edit or browse with this user while someone else is using it and pulling that list, lest they also receive the editing/browsing responses. The other half of the problem is that every once in a while, the anonymous browsing user's client requests this list again, and all open Tiddlys close themselves and goes back to the last saved list, obviously disrupting the user experience. Perhaps there's a way to disable saving to or reading from the $:/StoryList all together? Or would this even resolve the issue, or make something else not work?
