Read. When you finish a snippet of text, click ‘read more’. You’ll be given three paths that continue the story. If you like your options, keep reading. If you reach an end, or don’t like the story’s trajectory, Write a new snippet and take the story’s direction into your own hands. Publish - and others may add on to your story. If the story gets ranked well and has enough offshoots it stays, if not, watch it wither and die.
