While LJ-browsing last year, I happened on an entry where the LJ user (IINM, it was a friend of a friend came up with the idea of a fanfic done in the style of the Choose Your Own Adventure series. The LJ user’s friends voted for the course they’d like the fanfic to take, and the poster would continue the fic according to the option with the most votes. I wonder if anyone else has ever tried that idea – the system would’ve worked well if the fic is posted on a website.

This reminiscence is brought on by seeing several books from the Choose Your Own Adventures series in English. Gramedia published the series in Indonesia up to volume 12 or 13 back in the 1980’s. Plus, there’s my utter inability to resist shiny new things.
