Choose Your Own Story (Planning)

Chillhouse · 01-07-2008

I've got some great memories from that far off land called 'Childhood' of books where I could choose what I wanted the main character to do. The ones I read the most were from the Goosebumps series, if anyone still remembers those. God, I used to read them religiously.
So why not have a 'choose-your-own' story for the *BDL world? Well, at least for this forum.

This is just an idea I had while sitting down to write another story. I thought it'd be kind of cool to let the community interact with the story a little bit.

I allready have a story planned out in my head. If there's enough support I'll do it. What I'm thinking of is I write a paragraph or so of text, then allow forum members to choose from a list of options what the main character does next. Majority wins, and I use the winning option to craft the next part of the story, and so forth.

Great Idea!

That sounds like a really cool idea.

The guys at Ctrl-alt-del the webcomic did this just a couple months ago, it turned out really well. all you have to do now is find a way to make it interactive.
