Suffering from writer's block? Out of ideas? Wondering where to take your hero (or villain) next?
As this week's Guest Editor, I thought I'd take a look at an often-overlooked resource for frustrated writers and other creative folks: the interactive story.
A quick use of the Power Search tool to locate Action/Adventure genre interactives brought up for me a list of 487 visible items (your mileage may vary, since items and item access restrictions are changing constantly). Interactives give you the opportunity of adding to a story, and perhaps taking it in different directions.
There are a few things to be aware of before diving in, though:
Is the Interactive active? Take a look at the Modified date in the item listings. If it's been updated recently, chances are there's action in the adventure.
How many chapters? Again, this is given in the search listings. Some will have only one chapter, ripe for additions. Others will have dozens of chapters, and might take more reading before you add to them.
Is it your "thing"? Many interactives cater to rather specialized tastes, such as fanfiction for a particular author's universe. Often, but not always, the titles and brief descriptions can help you weed out those with subject matter you'd rather not tackle. If not, take a look at:
What information is provided by the creator? Once you've clicked on a likely candidate, take a good look at the section titled "About This Interactive." Usually there are rules or guidelines to follow. If you don't feel you can work within the posted guidelines, move on to the next one.
If it looks like something you'd be interested in, follow the link on the item page, and you're off!
Please be sure to adhere to the item's posted Content Rating and rules! |
