Hi all,

This community is frequently used for advertising needy pinch hits for other exchanges. That's fine! However, when reading back through the community, that means that the majority of posts are for pinch hits that are no longer needed, for exchanges that have finished.

We would like to suggest that when an exchange is finished, the pinch hit ads for that exchange are deleted (either by us or by the mods who posted them, whoever gets to them first).

One post per exchange, advertising the existence of the exchange, may stay.

Good idea? Bad idea? Feedback welcome.

Please also see the Yuletide Admin LJ or DW for a notice about New Year's Resolution stories.

Have you ever had to choose between taking a story in different directions and wanted to write both? Do you like playing around with storytelling forms? Does the idea of figuring out what would happen in various branching options from one starting point appeal to you? This fic fest might be for you!

This is a fest for choose your own adventure style branching fan fic. Your story can be a traditional second person choose your own adventure story or a third person story with choices that branch out into different narratives.

Sign up here!

Rules

Minimums: Stories must have a minimum of two choice points. All possible branches of stories must total a minimum of 5,000 words.

Commitment Level: Low. This is supposed to be fun! If you need to drop out for any reason at any time, that’s totally fine. We’ll do one check-in as a reminder/check to see if you’re still in it, but other than that, this is a deliberately low-key challenge to let you play around with the format.

Schedule

Sign-Ups Close: June 23

Check-In: August 31

Stories Due: October 26

Collection Revealed: November 2
