What is an Interactive Story?

An interactive story is one in which the reader gets to influence the course of action. The basic storyline is established by the moderator, and the tale unfolds as people add to it. The fun part is that you don't know where the story is going! The course of events might change as determined by the input of others. You have some degree of control by deciding what your characters do and say, but you cannot control the consequences of their actions. Thus, the story gradually develops plot twists, driven by the imagination of everyone involved.


Interactive Story Rules

* Write a chapter and e-mail it to the webmaster. New additions will be posted within 48 hours, pending approval.

* Keep it PG. Swear words (hilarious, when used properly) are strictly limited to those heard on the show.

* Stick to the storyline, and be creative. Don't rehash jokes from the show (favorite catch phrases are okay).

* Be consistent. Read everything previous to your entry before picking up the thread.

* There are no minimum or maximum requirements in terms of chapter length, but don't just write three lines.

* Writers posting entries that affect continuity may resolve the situation with one-another via e-mail.

* Any further questions can be addressed to the webmaster.

* Have fun, and enjoy the show! :-)
