Let’s Get This Party Started

Feb 24, 2009

*tosses a smudged dusting cloth over her shoulder and surveys the website with mixed feelings of pride and nervousness*

Well, I think I’ve done as much of the background work as I can for now.

This is, after all, an interactive webserial. I have to invite other people to join me sooner or later, so it might as well be sooner.

Welcome!

The inaugural poll is available on the sidebar. I imagine I’ll have a poll or two to help me set the scene before I get started writing. 

I’ll leave the first poll up for a week before I take it down and put up the next one. That should give everyone plenty of time to vote, and me time to see where and when the majority of the votes happen. It may turn out that I’ll get 99% of my votes in the first three days, and so that’s how long I should have the polls inside of the story as well. Only time will tell!

So! Without further ado, let’s get started!

Poll 1 : Setting is available now!

What kind of setting is the story going to happen in? What backdrop will fuel the adventures, what environment will shape our heroes? You can help decide!

Seven options are available, and you can choose up to two of them. The setting with the most votes will win. Get your votes in early – this is, quite possibly, one of the most important polls that will ever be offered!

Please visit the site and vote on the sidebar!

The poll will run from Tuesday, February 24 through Tuesday, March 2, 2009.

Do the polls always dictate the next step in the story?

Feb 19, 2009

Short Answer : Yes.

Long Answer : Pretty much.

You could argue that I am the one who comes up with the options for the polls, and I am the one who decides which crossroads within the stories are poll-worthy, and thus I am still reigning with dictatorial impugnity over the entirety of the story.

But if I give a poll, I will ALWAYS write the story according to the poll results.

All I’m doing by choosing the options that appear is narrowing the playing field a bit, so that your decisions have a very specific impact.

It is, for example, a bit like if we wanted to go see a movie.

I could say “Hey, let’s go see a movie” and then possibly be disappointed or unhappy with the movies you chose.

OR I could say “Hey, let’s go see a movie. Do you feel like watching Super Explodo-Rama 4 or Yet Another Animated Cartoon About Cats?”
