You might have to check the form for creating new stories and see what 
fields are required for every story. Then write you own script that use the 
addstory() call from the classes ;-)

Joe can correct me on this, but there are many variables that need to be 
set/modified/increased when a new story is added. So, instead of trying to 
write to the db directly, you are better off trying to use a PHP script 
(from the command line maybe) that does this for you using the existing API.
