Choose Your Own Ficlet Adventure

This isn’t really a challenge, more of a community project, the idea is to create a choose your own adventure series of ficlets;

info – http://tiny.cc/2PeYp

I’ve come up with these rules.

- Must be written in second person
- Each ficlet should end in 3 choices (except ending ficlets (death/success)
- Title the sequel with the choice it represents.
- The same Author writes the outcomes of all 3 choices from the previous ficlet (before you write them, leave a comment on the ficlet you will be sequelling so everyone knows, likewise, check the comments before sequelling)
- Don’t be afraid to kill the main characters, I remember these books for the brutal and sudden deaths, link back to the first ficlet in a comment in case of death.
- Happy endings should be rare and fairly hard to get to, you can have endings where they neither die or succeed but these are fairly rare as well.
- Post a comment under each ficlet linking back to the rules so people know what to do.

The sequel to this the first in the series.

    Please ask questions here if you have any, it was quite hard to fit everything into one ficlet, so I might have missed something.

    Impressive and ambitious project. Obviously not something I can play along with while I’m at work and supposed to not be doing this. But it sure seems fun! I’ll jump in at some point today.

    This sounds really cool and original…even if I have to remember all the rules. I’ll try to see where I can take this, because it sounds like a serious inspiration-starter.

    Can I start my own adventure or are we supposed to continue with yours?

    You have to continue, but there’ no reason once this one’s done that someone else couldn’t start another one set to a similar template.

    Also within the confines of m story there’s a lot of opportunity to go where you want with it, I hope.

    After reading someone else’s sequels, I felt like I really wanted to write another three sequels to that, on top of the three sequels I had written for another branch of the story. Is it illegal for me to contribute more than once?

    No that’s fine, as long as people don’t start sequelling their own stuff I think it’s ok to just write as much as you want on whatever branch whenever you want.

    Yeah, just make that one you’ve done in the wrong place a draft so it doesn’t show up anymore and then you can go pick one that you want to sequel and do what you want with it.
