For a while, inspired by the Django Book, I toyed with the idea of doing something similar for screenplays and building a community where people could offer feedback on those or other creative writing endeavors. It ended up looking like I'd have to implement it myself, but if you're building a web application already then this feature alone shouldn't add too much to your dev time. My naive plan was just to give each comment-able item (eg. a paragraph) a specific ID, and having a many-to-one relationship with comments to paragraphs. I never followed through, so I'm not sure what pitfalls you'd likely encounter doing it that way.

That was very similar to my original aim too! I wanted it for feedback when drafting blog posts, and also to let people truly engage and critique my writing, when I'm talking about history or religion. Your naive plan was mine too, but... then I realised that for feedback while drafting, I'd be breaking up paragraphs (with comments on them), adding new ones before commented paragraphs etc. So it never happened. http://blog.bitbucket.org/2012/10/30/building-inline-comments-for-pull-requests-and-commits/ http://blog.bitbucket.org/2012/10/30/building-inline-comment... seems a far more technical (and reliable) way to handle these situations.
