Today's chapter—

* Interactive: "The Hunger" 
* Public: "The Hunger" 

—wraps up this storyline for now. What will happen next here? Vote in the poll!: [Poll completed and deleted.]

Note that I'm running this poll using the complicated, gift-point system. Basically, you can vote for free in the linked vote. But if you want to give your vote more weight, go to {chapter:}, scroll down to the choices at the bottom, then click on the choice you want to see continued. In the page that opens, use the Tip feature at the bottom to send me WdC Gift Points. This will increase the number of votes for that choice; and the more GPs are gifted, the more votes it gets.

If your choice wins, you forfeit your GPs. (It's like you're paying for a writing commission.) If your choice loses, you get your GPs back, plus a proportional share of the GPs that were voted for the winner.

So, if you vote using GPs, you increase the chances that your choice will win; and even if you lose, not only will you get your GPs back, you might earn bonus GPs as well!

What will tomorrow bring in terms of new chapters? I'm going to gamble on the branch that I'm currently writing, and hope that I write to a stopping point before the publication schedule catches up to me. It starts with "Keith's Confliction" .

Will gave away the book, but it has since reentered his life by falling into the hands of friends of Will's friend Keith, and they have recruited him into a plot wherein they will impersonate and replace some other people at school. (They are doing it under the excuse that it's some kind of sociological experiment.) Will and Keith, on their own, however, have decided to use the scheme as a way to get back at Seth Javits, a bully who persecutes them both. The plan is for one of them to impersonate Seth's girlfriend, the cheerleader Cindy Vredenburg. But which of them is going to impersonate her ...?

Note: The Archives broke off this storyline with "Special Effects" . You can catch up with the interactive now with "Doubles for Pleasure"  and four more chapters after that.
