Do you want to write a choose your own adventure via fluther mini-bios?

Asked by phoenyx (7401points) April 27th, 2009

I’ve been thinking about the Choose Your Own Adventure books I used to read as a kid and wondered if we could write one together the same way we wrote a story together.

We are going to do it by putting a Fluther Adventure section as part of your mini-bio in your user profile. You would put a link to the person who referred to you (your section’s “parent”), write a continuation of the branch of your story, and link the options to two or three other people. As a (brief) example, I might put something like this in my mini-bio section (assuming I was a branch of PnL’s part of the story):
.
.

Fluther Adventure (parent)
————————————

You walk into the cave. You encounter a monster.

Do you punch it in the crotch
Or do you name it Rufus
.
.

I would then send a personal message to johnpowell and allie to let them know that they were linked by me as a story option and send them a link to this question so that they know what is going on. They would then figure out where they fit in in the story (by following the “parent” links backwards) and repeat the process.

Make sense?

Two additional rules:
1. You can’t link to someone who already has a Fluther Adventure section
2. You can be the ending of the story. Rather than options at the end of your story segment put ”THE END”.

I’m going to write the beginning of the story today during my lunch break. The first two people to volunteer (by answering this question with “I volunteer”) will be the two options for my story. If you need clarification on how this will work, please also do it as an answer to this question.
