But couldn't you just fork it?
I mean, you could have the original author's storyline as one option, but readers could fork the storyline at any time and write their own version. Each of those lines would be available at options to click down.
I mean, what if instead of Lucas' versions of teh prequels we had some fan versions to choose from? Do you think at least one of them would be preferable to the original authors? And people could choose if they wanted Greedo to shoot first or Han...... kinda like a branching Choose-your-own adventure story that the readers can write themselves. And all branches or forks would be available and some would definitely be more popular than others.
What do others think?
