this post may not be in the right tread
Hi, short introduction, I'm Watlix and I've been on scribble hub for half a year now. when I read, I see often poll dictating where the stories will go. I think it a good way beat writers block. But recently, I've been thinking of maybe taking that concept further by making a stories where all choice would be chosen by pulls. I thought of a simple chapter formula that could make it work. It would be a bit like dnd adventure.
You would start the story with a god character that would propose choice to the main character. The choice would be: the race, age, standing in society, some basic skill, one blessing, place of birth. After some chapter doing all the choice, the story would start. The formula for normal chapter would be : doing the former choice with liberty of the author( need a way to progress some what), continue the chapter till there a organic problem( don't need a force conflict that feels unnatural) and give a choice to progress. Stories would continue until death or burnout of the author.
The concept has some merit but I can see many problem with it. First and the obvious, people would have conflict and leave if the story does go there way. Second, a raid on the story can sabotage some choice. Third, a small author would not have the audience. And finally, you would need a premade world with a lot of ways to progress, be it fighting, crafting, politic and other. what I want to point out is, a experience writer/ world builder with great foresight, planning and patient would be required to make a story of the sort.
Anyways, I have yet to write my first story, so I don't have the skill nor the audience to do a projet like it. But if anyone is willing or wants to critics and point out flaws in it, it would be appreciated. wile thinking about this, i have been majorly inspired by thing happening in live. for exemple: twitch plays pokemon, dought dought lives, DnD still stories. It would be a challenge for anyone and may take week just to make one chapter. So good luck to anyone who attempt this and thank you for reading
