When I was a kid, the most popular books to read were 'pick-a-paths' which used the most rare point of view - 2nd. Second person is where YOU are part of the story.
The books are formatted where after a couple of pages of reading you are faced with a choice. Will you go into the cave or continue through the forest. This continues, giving you choices, until you end at one of about 5 different endings. Being a nerdy reader, I would read the book over and over until I'd come to every ending and gone down every scenario. I LOVED them!!!
Another brilliant thing about them is they got people reading. My brother hated to read but he would devour a pick-a-path.
I wonder if it's time for a come back. Maybe a YA romance or paranormal version where YOU actually get to choose who the heroine ends up with. Fun!
Thanks for stopping by and send me your thoughts :-)

ReplyDeleteMy own ideas are sparking too - maybe we should do another joint project!!
First let's order a few more hours in each day :-) sounds like a fun project!!
