[disc] Choose Your Own Adventure!

[eladnarra]

Inspired by the Choose Your Own Adventure genre in the current Critique contest, MSPA, and the interactive fiction games I've been playing lately, I feel like doing one of my own. This is a thread to see if people are interested in participating. ^_^

Choices at each junction in the story would be decided by majority--I'd post a poll with choices based on the latest part of the story, and after the deadline I'd take the winning choice and write the next part of the story. Rinse and repeat~

I'd be the one doing the writing, obviously, but people would have the option to post in the thread to sway others to their choice and just discuss the story in general. (Or make suggestions, complaints, etc. Hopefully not complaints. :P)

I'm not yet sure exactly how much planning I'd want to do. (There are two options--lots of serious planning, or letting things happen as the will. I imagine option 2 involves more silliness.) As such, I don't have a definite date, if people do end up being interested--but I'd start by the end of August at the latest, I would hope.

Anyway! Please vote in the (hopefully) self-explanatory poll, and thanks for reading. ^_^

I picked "Other" for probably all the wrong reasons, but I'll try to explain.

I was leaning toward Fantasy, but I don't want to do the whole dragons/knights/elves/orcs thing, because if you're going to do that, you might as well just play D&D, which I understand is something everyone is already doing.

So I'd like to submit for ela's consideration a modern fantasy, like along the lines of the first seasons of Heroes or LOST, or like the X-Men. Stick us all on a desert island and give us mutant superpowers!

:3

Edit: Smoke monsters and cheerleaders are optional, of course.

All of the above!

(I am being awkward.)

Why don't you e-mail the MSPA guy and ask him how he did it? I know Problem Sleuth and Homestuck have had vastly different processes, and it might be a good idea to see how it's working out from either perspective.

I want to play modernized Zork where a grue can eat you.

I voted scifi because scifi is COOOOOOOL!

I'll play whatever is chosen, though.

Howdy~

Things are busy and chaotic at the moment, so this project is on hold until I get my bearings. I am hoping that won't be long (a month at most, fingers crossed) and that people will still be somewhat interested when I return to it. ^_^
