    As today is my day off from the clinic, I have been surfing the web. When I found that Bungle in the Jungle had a new chapter, I read it like the loyal fan I am. As I was reading, the style reminded me of the old Choose your own adventure games. Naturally, I used wikipaedia to see if they still made those.

    Lo and behold, I found that there was a whole wikiproject for CYOAs at
    http://www.editthis.info/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure/index.php/Main_Page.

    Being the smart person that I am, I soon found that the tools for making a wiki are free. The idea that this narrative leads up to is this, DLP makes a HP CYOA wiki (I love acronyms). It would be like bungle in the jungle, but you can kill Ginny, or for those sick freaks who like that, can date her. That kind of thing.

    Unfortunately, I do not have the time to do this kind of thing by my self, so if anyone thinks this is a good idea, and would like to help that would be greatly appriciated.

    What do you guys think?

    Might be a nice idea. We have, after all, quite some authors on the board. See what epicness we can come up with.

    (Though I don't see why this is in Mature Discussion. Fanfic Discussion would fit better, imo.)

    About the thread placement; the discription for mature included "Ideas, HP or no" so I assumed that this was where it belonged.

    That's quite a good idea. The CYOAs are always good for a laugh, and knowing DLP it would be both brilliant and sick.

    How did you want to do it? What are your ideas for the starting point, the book it might start from and all that? I'm guessing we'd want something where Harry's relatively unformed as a character, kind of neutral material, so your choices transform him either into a wuss who's married to Ginny, or the powerful independent Harry we all know and love.

    Post GoF, or OotP. Next person to post chooses. Do you want an admin account on the wiki, DreamRed?

    That'd be good. I'd be real happy to help out with such an epic idea.

    You are Harry Potter. Your Godfather has recently died. Currently, you are at your relative's house on 4 Privet Drive. Now your are lying on your bed, being depressed. What do you do?

    Be emo.

    Join the wiki and add the option if you want.

    If you create an account there, say so here, so I know who is on.

    Also, could some admins give some feedback on the idea? If you want an admin account there, ask DreamRed, he figured out how to do it.

    Edit: It is now dead.

    Does anyone know why? This sounded like a pretty cool idea to me.
