What you are hopefully about to to start reading, or may have already started reading, is my attempt at a Reader-Influenced Story. Have you ever played one of those Choose-Your-Own-Adventure games? You read what the character is doing for a while and then choose what he/she does next at an important decision and based on what you choose, the story will change. This is like that, except instead of just one person choosing, everyone reading the story gets to vote on which choice he or she likes best.
The story is almost completely unconstrained, I have no idea what is going to happen or where it will go. The only barrier I'm setting in place is some of the setting, everything else is up to the reader and will develop as the story progresses.
Rules:
- Everyone who reads the story is allowed to vote. The vote will take place in a readily accessible poll window.
- You are allowed to vote on only ONE option. Period. End of story. You also cannot change your vote. So vote wisely. And don't complain.
- If I find out that people are making/using multiple accounts to vote more than once, the entire site will be shut down. I've had one story like this ruined by that already. Please, people. The point is to have the story go in different directions. You can't always get your way, so just be happy when you do. The story will still be interesting, I promise.
- You are welcome, and in fact encouraged, to leave comments with suggestions. There's no point suggesting new options for the current poll, the choices are already finished. You can, however, suggest possible directions the story can take, and those may end up effecting what choices show up Next time. Please don't complain if your ideas don't show up, though. I can't have half a million options, so I'm going to pick the ones I think will take the story in the best directions.
That's all for now!
