Multiple Ending Stories?

[RhoEpsilonDelta]

I'm writing an incest story at the moment where a college girl living with her parents and older brother is going to have sex with one of them.

The story starts with her masturbating in the shower while a shadowy figure the other side of the frosted glass watches her and I've reached a point where the figure could've been any one of the other three in the household.

My question is this: If I wrote three different endings to this story, one where the brother was watching, another where it was the father and a third where it was the mother, what would be the best way to present them on the site?

So far I can see my options being to simply write the story as one continuous piece, but with obvious breaks where you can either read all the options or jump ahead to the next without bothering with the choice you don't like, or to submit four different stories; the introduction, the father ending, the brother ending and the mother ending.

There's also the option that I on't make the story multiple ending at all, but instead just bite the bullet and choose which way the story goes myself, but where's the fun in that?

I would post it as a four-parter, and organize them kinda like this:


The Power of A Shower ch 01

The Power of A Shower ch 02 - Dads Dilemma

The Power of A Shower ch 03 - What mom saw

The Power of A Shower ch 04 - Brotherly Attention

Would it make sense to number them as shown below?

The Loving Family - Chapter 1: Cleaning Up Her Act
The Loving Family - Chapter 2.1: Brotherly Attention
The Loving Family - Chapter 2.2: Mother Knows Best
The Loving Family - Chapter 2.3: Fatherly Advice

Of course, another option is not to make the ending multiple at all an have the slutty little sister fuck her entire family one-by-one.

Technically yes, but I don't know if the Lit-system can figure it out properly so it will look right on your index page. I have never seen a series organised like that on this site. But you can try - and if it doesn't come out right, you can always PM Laurel.

Of course, another option is not to make the ending multiple at all an have the slutty little sister fuck her entire family one-by-one.

But then you will need to have three "shadowy figures" outside the shower...

In my RON'S JOURNAL series I have chapters named:

Ron's Journal 03
Ron's Journal 03a
Ron's Journal 03b
Ron's Journal 04

And the names sort in that order. Another way to sequence them is alphabetically. My THE BOOK OF RUTH series has these episodes and chapters, with the names sorting in this order:

The Book of Ruth: Before Ruth
The Book of Ruth: Coming Fast
The Book of Ruth: Doing Ruth Pt. 01
The Book of Ruth: Doing Ruth Pt. 02

(I'll add a Pt. 03 chapter to finish the Doing Ruth episode, and an Eating Out episode to end the story cycle.)

I'll suggest that you NOT put Chapter or Ch. in the title because those names may be double-listed on your Member Submissions page, as do my Left Behind stories. (I'll have to PM Laurel to rename those.) So if using your naming scheme, I would title them as:

The Loving Family 01: Cleaning Up Her Act
The Loving Family 02.1: Brotherly Attention
The Loving Family 02.2: Mother Knows Best
The Loving Family 02.3: Fatherly Advice

Just to avoid confusion about whether your series/cycle is complete, you might add an intermediate chapter that teases into the varied endings, and another for wrap-up.

The Loving Family 01: Cleaning Up Her Act
The Loving Family 02: Dirty Deeds Forever
The Loving Family 02a: Brotherly Attention
The Loving Family 02b: Mother Knows Best
The Loving Family 02c: Fatherly Advice
The Loving Family 03: All in the Family

If you don't want to write those extras and the sequence of follow-ups is not significant then just go with alphabetic sorting:

The Loving Family: Cleaning Up Her Act
The Loving Family: Her Brotherly Attention
The Loving Family: Her Fatherly Advice
The Loving Family: Her Mother Knows Best

I'm using that sort of naming scheme in the follow-ups I'm writing for SUBSTITUTE PUSSY. Anyway, click on the Posts link in my .sig. to see how story names sort. I use various schemes.

Personally, I wouldn't read a story that branches off into multiple options. That tells me that the author doesn't have confidence in the story he wants to tell, hasn't considered the story all the way to the end, and is unable or unwilling to make the difficult choices.

If you like all three options equally, write each as a separate story. Make changes to the premise so that you are not repeating yourself, and take it in a different direction. Be creative. Don't box yourself into a single paradigm. If you have more than one story to tell, then tell them as separate stories.
