Short Circuit's Journal: An experiment

This is an extremely unpolished experiment. It's a collaborative "choose your own adventure" story, using MediaWiki as a CMS.

The idea is loosely modeled after Addventure, a site a participated in in my youth.

1. Basically, each page contains a bit of narration. You read the narration, and you look at the choices presented.
2. Click on one of the choices, and return to step 1. If no narration has been written for that choice, proceed to step 3.
3. Write a bit of narration, and offer a few choices of your own.
4. Repeat.

It can be pretty fun. I'm using MediaWiki as a testbed to examine how a story like this develops, so I can design a better collaborative-CYOA software. I always enjoyed this type of game.

Stop by. Click around. Have fun. Add something. Story 1 ("The Opening") is for people who like silly puns and twists. Story 2 ("The Continuance") is for anyone who wants to try the medium as a more serious story development tool.

Cool.
