National NaNoWriMo Doing Month!

Corpse NaNo CYOA Edition: None of the Commitment, All of the Fun!

Hey, so. I get that we, as a group, are terrible at commitment, but if you're interested and otherwise not gonna do much for NaNo this year, why not put your hand up in here and let's give it a try?

If we can get at least five of us together, we can do like last time we did it and go in 5000 word chapter, five sets of one thousand words. We'll add the stipulation that the end of each chunk needs to have a choose your own adventure style choice, and that once each chapter is published the start person has the choice of continuing from any existing fork.

So in Step Form:

1) We establish a five-person chain, based on... I don't know, whoever yells 'first' in this thread first. It goes, say... ABCDE.

2) Volunteer A, after paying the entrance fee of one soul, writes a thousand words, ending with a CYOA-style choice. Binary choices preferred, not a strict rule.

3) Volunteer B, one soul later, reads what A has written, chooses a choice, and writes on from that. B ends their part with another choice.

4) Volunteer C does not read what A has written. They only get to choose from B's choice and work from there. They end their part with yet another choice. Also their soul is gone too.

5) Volunteer D... etc. Souls.

6) Finally, Volunteer E does all of that as well. Maybe we should stipulate that the last person in the chain also has to end the chapter somehow? But in any case, they too will end their bit with a choice.

7) The entire chapter is published for everyone to read! Next round of volunteers and souls are brought forward! Say that the next chain is volunteers FGHIJ.

8) Volunteer F can then pick any choice given thus far and work from there. This is to prevent the solidification of canon, since people didn't like that last time.

9) The rest of the chain follows on as normal from F's bit, which should end in another set of choices.

10) Repeat ad nauseaum.

If we can get enough people I'm definitely interested. What say us, hey?
