I had a question. I've written one Choose-Your-Own type story, and I'm writing another one, and while having readers scroll to the right section works well enough, I was wondering whether there's any way to link each of the branches to the end of the current page. For example,
Billy saw Tiffany skinny dipping.
If Billy should take her clothes, click here.
If Billy should join her, click here.
Like I said, it's also possible to just write all the sections in order and rely on scrolling to get to the right section, but since stories can have links at the end to other stories, I was wondering whether it's at all possible to have multiple links, or allow Lush stories to link to other stories of mine at Lush.
Thanks!
I see what you're getting at, but we're not set up for that I'm afraid.
Ah well, low tech it is. Thanks, anyway!
You could do it if each part were long enough.
As we have it set up, stories have to be over 3000 characters long, or the system rejects them. If each part were over that length, it would work. You'd submit each new section as a new "story".
Our site is set up for stories, or lengthy chapters. I don't know of any site like this set up to cater for multiple outcomes / endings. The technique is rarely used these days, outside of video games!
"Low tech"? lol. You've obviously not been on this site very long...
I think he means he wants to write multiple endings (or continuing sections, however many there may be) himself, and link to the various options at the end of the first part.
The reader could then choose the outcome.
I haven't seen print books like that for decades.
Or you could start up your own version of high tech story website designed to do exactly what you wish it to do. Might require several months and several thousand dollars (initially) and several thou$and ongoing monthly to maintain it.
It would be your baby though.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
If you had a clear delineator of each of the various outcomes, the CTRL+F solution is probably your best bet.
It's an unusual request!
What's the point? Every reader is going to "choose their own adventure" that leads to sex' and cummin' anyway. All roads lead to fuckin'. Might as well make the thing linear.
