Excuse the dumb question, but why not post the whole stories on the wiki? Does text take up that much space?
Multipage articles are clumsy. A lot of the stories are extremely long (such as Rise of the Remorhaz Society), so they would either add a massive load to the database and the user when viewing the story as a single article, or would add a lot of articles for each story. We can already see how the FAQ is making things look ugly... Maybe if that can be sorted in an elegant manner, adding the stories to the wiki could become feasible.

Also, you have the fact that I don't particularly see the need to have the same massive blocks of text in two separate databases on the server.
