So, I'm about to release a CYOA...
a year ago
CYOA, or "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories can be difficult, but I wanna do one to challenge myself and keep my writing skills sharp. I've been doing a superhero series on youtube (links below if interested) for about three years now and I need to write something else so I don't get burnt out and quit mid-story.
So, the deal is:
1. I write a chapter, about 5000 words (ten pages of the average novel)
2. At the chapters end I will post up 3-5 choices for the audience to vote on.
3. In the comment below you guys can vote on what you want to happen or what sounds the most interesting.
4. I steer the story in that direction and we see what happens.
I'd like to do one chapter per week, so everyone gets a chance to vote and I can write when I want to and not feel rushed. 5000 words is nothing to me these days, especially if I'm interested in what I'm writing about. I will have the first chapter up very soon, I'm waiting on some artwork I commissioned to pull people in to participate. I'll message a few people as well who used to know me on this site, who knows, maybe we'll get something fun going.
What sort of story am I writing? I've been pawing through a lot of anime lately, and I'm pretty disappointed in the "harem" genre. I think I can do better, so I'm going to show them how its done. None of this "collecting girls and you have to pick one at the end". I mean a real polygamous relationship in which everyone pools their resources so the family can prosper. Lemme put some quick stats down:
Genre: Harem/Fantasy
Tropes/Style: Anime/Parody
Rating: A for Adult
Plot: City-Building, Sex and Political Intrigue
Chapter Size: 5000 words (10 pages)
Chapter Frequency: 1 per week....?
Voting System: In the comments of each chapter
If you think that sounds fun, please come and participate when the first chapter lands. I'm going to message a few people to get the ball rolling, maybe they will stick around to steer the story with me.
See you soon!
