The Never Ending story is no more.

The Interactive Story is born.

An interactive story is like a never ending story, except it branches. So if you don't like how the story is going, start writing down a different path.

As a general rule, it isn't good form to reply to your own chapter. Let someone else play around with it.

EDIT: nm, I deleted the bit that was here sincea fter looking at it i realised it is not as similar to the never ending stories as i thought. In fact I like the look. Simple, like Google.

SECOND EDIT: Based on the way it's an html page I assume not just anyone can create a interactive story. BTW, I like your writing style. Some one at the DN said it was good. theye were right.

SirCabbage, in the future, you might want to not change the point-of-view mid-story. The other entries were in the third person, while yours were in first person. It makes it a bit awkward while reading it.

Edit: And Draconic, this was definately not my best work, and was done in a rushed fashion so I could get the story up and running quickly. If you want to see something that's actually fairly decent, you might want to check out the 'Wound for Torment' story in the Stories forum. Some others are there, but they're not as good.

Okay I'll look into them soon. And don't sell your self short. Your wording and flow was good. It was well structured. And if that's your rushed stories are like... WOW! I'd love to read the others.

DISCLAIMER: No, I ain't just kissing up. I don't do that. I hate that sort of behaviour. But it some one else wantrs to do it well... each to their own.

I have two things to add:

1) People, use periods and capital letters! That annoys me to no end.

2) Is there like a map that will take you to the end quickly? If I want to add an entry later, I have to click through, and if the story becomes long enough, that could take some clicking...

Heh, Mike Hunt.

On every entry after the first one there's a link "View outline of the chapters". It takes you here.

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess. 
Every month or so I believe? However the benevolent dictators forgot to do so sometimes...

So you want everyone to use periods and capital letters just to annoy you? Strange, strange person...

Very Interesting. I plan to take no part in this story thing, ok, i will. And i think chaotic meant people dont use capitols or periods and wants them to use them. Right Chaotic?

So this post is just writing about writing? and here I was excited thinking I was actually going to write in the story. So where's the actual story? I guess I'll go search the other posts....

Link in the original post.

The idea is that you follow the story written this far, making a decision at the end of a chapter. If, at a certain point, no chapter exists for the choice you made, you can write a follow-up to that one. Check it, it's fun

I wanted to suggest it because I have seen it before and it's REALLY fun, but I didn't know how to explain.

Now I don't NEED to explain. Great job, ReDink1!

So, I put in 3 different chapters, except I forgot to put my name by the Wisk one. How long does it usually take for someone else to write another chapter???

Almost forgot about this thing. It's a shame that it's hidden from newer members and forgotten by everyone else. Perhaps some new chapters could spring up?

Rabid, when you dragged this out of the turd pile, in my presence to make things worse, you have set a chain of events that will lead to shock, horror, and me giving credit to you for letting me notice this.

I will begin to corrupt and twist this project tomorrow. Be very afraid . . .
