Choose and/or Write Your Own Adventure

by Nick Montfort · , 10:46 pm

Make Your Own Adventure offers a collaborative system for selecting/reading or adding to CYOA-style stories. The system is by Jonathan Aquino, built on the Ning social software framework. The demo story is piratical (or at least nautical), and the concept is clever, but does it result in a more resonant work when one is able to add another option for dealing with Stumpy Jack? (Thanks to Darius for news of this.)

Ah, good ol’ Jack. Yes, it has been an interesting experiment thus far. Thanks for the mention Nick.
