Verb

storify (third-person singular simple present storifies, present participle storifying, simple past and past participle storified)

1. (transitive) To form or tell stories of; to narrate or describe in a story.
   • 2014, Hal Duncan, Rhapsody: Notes on Strange Fictions:

     There are narratives that use nova to storify the transfiguration itself; they render the alteration (as mistake, or correction, or both), within the narrative, via actual time-travel, presenting us with the jump back to change the course of history […]

2. (beekeeping, transitive) To store (additional honey) in additional tiers or stories of a hive.
   • 1844, Robert Huish, Bees: Their Natural History and General Management:

     The advocates for the storifying system boast, that it is highly favourable to the formation of artificial swarms; it should, however, be previously demonstrated, that any actual advantage is to be derived from an artificial swarm.
