In Darkness

Now here is an interesting concept: Multi-Author Interactive Fiction.

On this site there’s a “choose your own adventure” type story that’s been going on since 2000. Each author writes a section and presents two options for the next author to choose from. I haven’t read too far into the story, but the concept is intriguing. I’m wondering how they handle the logistics of such a thing and, more importantly, is this something I could add to THIS site. You know… I start a story and other people carry it on.

Worth looking into? Waste of time?

I’ve added the old archive of the story “STYXX” to the Dragons-Inn section of the Library.

Note that this is NOT the part of the story that features Kultra, but is the part of the story that appeared in the old “Catacombs” section of the original site… the part that happened before Kultra joined the tale. Thus, I didn’t write any of it.

Does this mean that the part that I DID write will be made available soon? Yes. With “soon” being intentionally vague and non-committal.

“On Par With Jaws” - Harry Knowles, Aint It Cool News.

“A Knockout Monster Movie” - Leah Rozen, People.

“A Seriously SCARY Freakout” - Manohla Dargis, The New York Times.

“What movie did these other people see, because the one I saw was some fucking bullshit.” - Dark Icon, indarkness

He glared at the shiny new BMW straddling the lines. His own car was too big fit into either of the two half-occupied parking slots… the last two slots left. His intention was to return the sledgehammer because he didn’t need it. But now he had a better idea: Other people could be assholes, too.

New Jersey - where half the people here want to be somewhere else.

…Only HALF!?
