Had an inspiration for a new kind of story, requesting permission/opinions

Ye man do it!

Nah man don’t do it

So this morning, I was thinking about all the different writing projects I have going on and different stories that I’ve started and never finished, mostly due to laziness. I was thinking about what I could possibly do that’s never been done before (here in Offtopic that is) and then it hit me. Y’all remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books? You would open them up and then you’d be given a choice of what page to turn to, and the story would develop differently depending on where you went. Some choices would lead to buried treasure, some would lead to a gruesome death, but you could always just start over (or cheat and go to where you died and choose a different option. I figure I could write a story like this set here in Offtopic, with a few NPCs picked out from various Offtopic personas that would work well, but there wouldn’t be a need for signups because you, the reader, are the protagonist. The catch is, though- it would need to be long. Super long. Even with a question post, it wouldn’t fit on one post, so I’d need to post multiple threads at once with links connecting them, and they’d have to be organized on a master post. So I’d post five posts at once for the same story (since it couldn’t be split up into a chapter-type thing released chronologically like most stories). This could easily be seen as spam or annoying if I did it without warning. So anyway, thoughts? Would y’all be into something like that? Edit: looks like I’ve got the OK, so I’m gonna start writing tomorrow. 😃

    You can use me as an NPC if you want (If you want a character then just ask), and if you need some ideas on writing the story just PM me or reply to this comment. EDIT: kill me, i want my character to die, i don't know why.
