Choose Your Own Adventure

[mouthful6]

Has this been done? Done well?

Could this be done in the existing Lit format without insane awkwardness?

Seems to me, a choose your own adventure, but for fucking, could be a really great experience.

How do you mean? Are you talking about one of those adventure books where you reach a fork in the road and if you turn left you keep reading or if you turn right move to page 69?

I think it would be really awkward unless you download the whole text of the story to one place, but even then I don't think you'd be able to put Chapter links or anything in, so you'd have to create lots of blocks of text with a searchable code or something.

I have done a few, but for an author, it is extremely time consuming. EXTREMELY.

Basically, you are writing 2-5 versions of the same story. It would seem like you would save some time by having the lead-up parts of the story the same, and thus the number of written words less, but it is a huge time suck to make sure the lead-in parts of the story all work for the other versions.

In some ways, for the reader it is nice because you can choose to either read about a character having one on one romantic sex, or maybe she does a gangbang. The reader chooses, and that is cool.

In a way

The problem is, for most readers, they go back and read ALL the versions anyway. As an author, it is just easier for me to change the context of the story, and write all versions of the story, but as separate stories. It just takes far less time to write five separate stories, then an adventure tale with multiple options for the reader.

As for my adventure stories, they were on a different site where it could be done, but I am not sure about the format on here. It would be tough to do as you tried to link so many links to different pages within the site.

Yes, exactly.
