From Reddit Choose Your Own Adventure

Reddit Choose Your Own Adventure is a wiki for Reddit users to collaboratively create an adventure. The reader assumes the role of the main character, and in each page you choose how the story should progress. If you don't see an option that you would like to pursue, click the edit tab on the top of the page and add a new path to the page. Then you get to write in your own adventure for the character.

Rules

• People have a tendency to create branches where the character dies. To prevent the story from being just a tree with all dead ends: For each page where you kill the player's character, you must create at least 2 pages (with content) where he can go on.
• Please stick to the theme and setting of the story, and discuss ideas for major changes on the discussion pages. Although creativity is encouraged, radical plot changes and inconsistencies will ruin the flow.

    *Example: You wake up in a meadow. What do you do?
         Options: Examine your surroundings
                  Go back to sleep
                  Kill the bear
    The "Kill the bear" option had no grounds in the story, so it should not be there.

• Story branches and choices can be silly, but not too absurd that it would not follow logically.
• If something is off topic, remove it.
• If you remove someone else's addition to the story, please document your reason on the discussion page.
• Try to capitalize and spell your words correctly.
• ADD OPTIONS AND NOT JUST TEXT! Complete pages include options so the story can continue (unless the page is an ending). Incomplete pages will be edited or deleted.
• Keep it PG-13

Tips

• Don't give too many options when starting a new story and leave half of them redlinked. Focus on a small number of story threads at first.
• Outline a general plan for what the intention of your story is when you start it: What genre and themes it belongs to.
• As alternative to plain formatting for your story, you may try using Italics to write the Narration, regular Font for character Dialogue and Bold for Character/Item/Location names or important developments. Example: As you walked through the Forest, you heard a young girl calling out for you. "Jack! Wait for me! I have a gift for you!" Kate runs up to you and gives you the MacGuffin. Whatever style you choose, try to keep it consistent throughout the story.
• If you are having difficulty spacing out paragraphs, you can use "
  ".
• Don't inject crude humor into a story branch that's intended to be played straight.
