Okay, not actually entirely by "YOU," because if you wanted to make your own storygame, there's a new game button waiting for you.

So what's this, then?

It's a giant storygame where anyone and everyone can contribute by adding passages of lengths between one sentence and three paragraphs.

I'll add some of my stuff too, but I'll copy-paste the posts in order to make a giant storygame. 

"Wait-" you ask," how do paths work?"

To make a path, simply write "~ <path name> ~" at the bottom of your post. You can add up to 4 more paths per post, but try not to make too many, since, you know... jeez. 

If you are going to continue on from a path, simply write the name of the path using the above layout at the top of your post.

Anybody interested? If you are, there's no need to sign up- just start posting. I'll start off with a basic, one-sentence opener:

Happy writing!

Anybody gonna reply?

Most are probably busy with their own games. I've seen a few attempts where multiple members try to write one story, but never seen one actually do anything other than self-destruct quickly. Good luck with this.

'Kay then.

The first CYOA site I ever came across, this kind of thing was actually the norm. Quality obviously was all over the place and a plot thread never last more than half a dozen pages in the onslaught of 'lol random', but it was just this fun unrestricted community thing. 

CYS is an entirely different kind of site though and not really set up for something like that.

(I don't like writing in past tense or third person perspective; I feel they make it harder to write death scenes. I also have my doubts that this project will survive to fruition. I will try, however, if you are still interested.)

Her hand was instinctively clenched around the shortsword by her side. The room around her was clear, yet her heart felt as if it was convulsing in her chest; her head felt numb, as if she had been struck by a great force. After a brief moment, however, the numbness subsided, giving way to a crescendo of screaming.
