I don't know why but I felt I had to do this.

I'm just going to wait for Ryan North's promised follow-up to his "To Be Or Not To Be (Choose Your Own Shakespeare)", the enticingly titled "Romeo and/or Juilet".

If you enjoy these, you may want to take a look at the Choice of Games catalog. My current favorite CYOA/Interactive Fiction is one called Choice of Robots, released earlier this year.

Such a kewl site. You can almost make your own MUD. I can see a huge timesink looming. Do you know if you still "own" the stories you write here?

My first attempt is whimsical, but not very exciting.

"Story was marked private"

Apologies, but I corrected that oversight almost immediately (somewhat to the detriment of the unfortunate 'player'). My wife enjoyed it, but she's used to me wasting her time.

This is giving me an itch to create a choose-your-own-adventure engine with just enough in the way of features to make it really interesting in terms of pushing the limits.
