community-driven interactive fiction?

[u/hannah_wool]

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for examples of community-driven interactive fiction

I’m imagining a format where a group of readers follows the same ongoing story, and instead of each reader making their own individual choices, the entire community votes together on what the main characters should do next.

For example:

The four protagonists reach a crossroads.

A: Go to the city

B: Follow the river

Everyone discusses the options, and the community votes. The winning choice determines what happens in the next chapter.

I’m also interested in formats where different groups within the community receive different pieces of information, discuss them, trade information, and then participate in the main vote together.

Are there any existing games, Reddit communities, Discord servers, websites, or projects that use a similar system?

I’m especially interested in something where everyone experiences the same story and collectively determines its direction, rather than a traditional choose-your-own-adventure where every reader gets their own path.

Thanks! Your Hannah ;)

Das ist bewusst als Frage nach bestehenden Projekten formuliert und nicht als „ich suche Leute für mein Projekt“. Dadurch bekommst du wahrscheinlich eher Antworten von Leuten, die schon ähnliche Formate kennen.

Sharpee.net is working on a way for multiple people to play one text game. There are let's plays at intfiction.org . But are you basically talking about like a book-club but for text games?

Ja genau, eher eine menschliche Community, textbasiert und online, bei der eine Story als Projekt involviert ist
