So I had this great idea to create a story for my journal presented in the form of a scenero game. Can we do this here?
Here is my idea:
I wanted to create a random story for the stories section of my Vampire Rave journal. But I thought it would be cool if I got other VR members in on it with their own creative input.
I also came up with a fun way to turn it into something of a scenero game where you can choose an option; an action to take listed from 3 different choices by each new posting member, who answered with their decision, for the character to perform.
Then they would continue the story with your own new sentence and 3 more courses of action for the next poster to choose from to further the story.
* The full story will be put together and updated into my VR journal's stories tab for anyone to come and read. Credit will be given to each participant as cowriters.
Rules:
- Please keep the story fairly decent. That means no racial, political, overly sexual, or involve any other controvertial issues. This doesn't mean it has to be child proof or family friendly, just that it could be more curtious toward more sensitive subjects.
- I strongly encourage creativity and imagination to be added to the story in whatever genre of literature you want, but I would also like the subject matters to be part of the natural progression of the storyline (a rodeo clown suddenly flying through space zapping mutant supervillians with a unicorn horn wand doesn't make much sence). XP
How to play:
#1 - Read the small paragraph, sentence, or phrase in the thread post that a fellow Vampire Rave member has written above you. Then read the 3 possible actions or developments to use listed below that labled as A, B, or C.
#2 - Comment with your choice of the a, b, or c options provided. This can be something that you would personally do in this particular scenero or the one you like best to spice up the situation. That choice then becomes the next part of the overall story that I will record in my journal.
#3 - Now write your own very next scene. Stop short of your description to add 3 completely different choices of your own that could be a possible result of your previous statement. The poster after you will then complete your scene by choosing an answer and continue from there by repeating this 1 2 3 process.
I will start us off with...
EXAMPLE:
In the back corner of the small dusty room, lay a lone black cat. It stared up at me and hissed a threat.
a) So I backed away in response, and turned to explore the other rooms as to not bother it further.
b) The poor thing must be alone and afraid, I thought. I dug into my pocket for a piece of left over jerky. I knelt down and proceeded to coax it closer.
c) It must have wondered in looking for mice in this old run-down place. Just another pest. I took a fragment of broken brick from the floor and threw it.

Responce Post of the Next VR Member:
"b.
It's bright golden eyes beamed at me fiercely. I inched closer despite its low growls of warning. As I anchored myself above the cat, half eaten meat stick out stretched, its fur stood on end and its paws braced the scuffed wooden floor in preperation for a fight or flight reaction.
a) The cat sniffed me cautiously as it creeped toward the food. Admiring its beauty, I thought, if I could help this little guy, it would certainly make a great companion in this barron place.
b) Suddenly the cat lunged at me, delivering a stinging swipe at my left cheek, before scurrying passed me and out the loose hinged door of the room.
c) The poor thing, beyond frightened, dashed through my legs and out into the hall. I followed it out of the room, but stopped dead in my tracks when I realized it had disappeared into the darkness of the long cold corridor."
