Steem Adventure Vol. 0 - wherein we try something new and exciting!

Hello, everyone!

So... what is going on up in this post? Very simply put, we're going to try an experiment. And by reading, you become part of this experiment. For, in a bout of drunken bravery, I have committed to creating, curating and updating the first* Steem CYOA!

A CYOA is an acronym; it stands for Choose Your Own Adventure. Like, did you ever read those books when you were a kid where at the bottom of the page, it was like:

If you talk to Mr. Skeltal, go to page 9

If you run away from the spooky scary skeleton, go to page 58

That's an old-school CYOA. We're going to do things a bit differently: we're going to make everything up as we go along!

This means you, the reader, get to vote on what happens as it's happening! I'm going to try to stick to a once-a-week posting schedule, where every Sunday night you get some hot, fresh content, and get to vote on one of the multiple-choice options throughout the week. By Saturday morning, polling is closed - and I'll get to work on the next update!

I have no idea how long this will last, or where y'all will take it. But I can guarantee it'll be lighthearted, filled with shenanigans, and a treat to read. So, without further ado, let's get to our first vote!

For this story, would you like to see it as a:

(1) High Fantasy Setting: Think along the lines of Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, Tim the Enchanter - the realm of adventure and lore! Our MC will be... someone, potentially! It all depends on how they want to make a name for themselves...

(2) Noir City Setting: Think along the lines of traditional gumshoe, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, The Naked Gun - cigarettes, dames, and a main character who just can't catch a break.

(3) Techno-Future Setting: Cyberjack into the Matrix to download your holovids! Think along the lines of Star Trek, Star Wars - sure, but also Shadowrun, Bladerunner, Spaceballs - A scrappy hero babbling in half-code, trying to make his way among the stars.

And for our plot, would you like a:

(A) AAAAAADVENTURE! Find the mythical MacGuffin, Defeat the Dreaded BadBoss, Save the Kingdom/City/Universe!

(B) Slice of Life: Not everyone can be a hero! Sometimes you just gotta run a tavern, or a holo-porn shop, or maybe it's about time to quit the whole detective business and go into making poodle shirts. Yeah...

(C) Mystery~!: The Prince has gone missing, the letter "e" has b--n d-l-t-d from the hyp-rw-b, or maybe a lady in a little red dress needs to find the man with the emerald tie. 

IF you'd like to vote, just combine your answer. So, for example maybe I want a HIGH ADVENTURE MYSTERY! I'd post

 1C 

and that'd be my vote. I'll do a loose tally next Saturday (9/3) and we'll begin!

Good luck, happy hunting, and remember to tell yourself: It's only a game.
