Create Your Own Adventure
Create Your Own Adventure is a wiki that contains stories where the reader assumes the role of the main character. In each page you choose how the story should progress. If you don't see an option that you would like to pursue, click the edit tab on the top of the page and add a new path to the page. Then you get to write in your own adventure for the character.
Please note that this site is specifically for Create Your Own Adventure stories. If you choose to post stories that have no choices, your story will be deleted as such stories are not appropriate for this site.
We currently have 123,241 articles.
If you're new to this site, please read our Tutorial to learn how to edit stories. Please do not add new stories to the Main Page. Add new stories to the sub-pages for each story type below. New stories added to the Main Page will be removed from the Main Page.
- Hint: If you don't care enough about your writing to attempt to use proper grammar or spelling, chances are people won't care to read it. If grammar isn't your strong suit, you may want to look over some Grammatical Tips.
If you want to practice editing, you should do so on the Sandbox.

Adult Stories
18+ Only. Do not read these stories if you are underage or if you are offended by adult material.
Youth pastor
You are a youth pastor at your local community church, tonight is your first youth meeting, as you shower you get hard thinking about working with the local youth
Pit of Abandoned Stories
Stories of less than ten pages that haven't been worked on by anyone in some time will be dropped into the Pit. Feel free to retrieve stories from the Pit and put them back on the appropriate story-type page if you get inspired and add to one.
Creating a Story
If you have an idea for a story, you might like to try pitching your idea to other users and seeing how interested people might be in playing your story, what you could do to make playing your story fun, and who might be interested in collaborating with you to write it. Once you have done that, you can create it by entering your desired name for the Story into the search box and clicking Go. If the name has not already been taken, click this exact title to start the story.
There are three general types of story. The first is the branching-plot story, which require the reader to make choices but are otherwise like a regular novel. The second type is the role-playing game adventure, which combines the branching-plot novel with simple role-playing rules such as attack points and monster battles. The third type is the trivia quiz, where the player must answer questions as if they were on a game show.
Instructions
Starting Template
Copy and paste this for new pages:
Page text here
Do you:
*[[Adventure/Option 1]]
*[[Adventure/Option 2]]
*[[Adventure/Option 3]]
{{Status|Equipment=''Equipment''|Health=#|MP=#|Level=#}}
[[Category: name of story you're working on]]
The next to the last line here is the status indicator. The status indicator shown here is the basic status indicator. Different stories use different status indicators, and some use none at all. Look at the edit screen for the page you're starting from and copy that status indicator to the new page you're adding. Modify as necessary.
Every page should have the category at the bottom. This keeps track of all the pages in the story. You can copy the category line from the previous page to the one you're working on. The category, obviously, is never 'name of story you're working on'. You type in the actual name of the story.

To edit a page
Just click the edit tab on the top of the page
To add an option
[[Adventure name/New option name]]
Options that appear red on the page have no content. Click the link, paste in the above template, and then add your own content.
To avoid accidentally crossing with other users' stories, it may be best to create pages with more than just an option name, like Unicorns or Open your eyes. Instead, when you create a new page, call it You have to slay The Dragon/_Page 1 or YOUR CRAZY/Give up. You can have the link name be whatever you want though, like this: [[You have to slay The Dragon|Enter The Dragon's Lair]] will appear as Enter The Dragon's Lair on the page.
This is for fun!
Tips
- Don't give too many options when starting a new story and leave half of them redlinked. Focus on a small number of story threads at first.
- Outline a general plan for what the intention of your story is when you start it: What genre and themes it belongs to.
- As alternative to plain formatting for your story, you may try using Italics to write the Narration, regular Font for character Dialogue and Bold for Character/Item/Location names or important developments. Example: As you walked through the Forest, you heard a young girl calling out for you. "Jack! Wait for me! I have a gift for you!" Kate runs up to you and gives you the MacGuffin. Whatever style you choose, try to keep it consistent throughout the story.
- If you are having difficulty spacing out paragraphs, you can use <br>. Example:
- This is an example of how to break up paragraphs on a page.<br><br>This is the same example. will show as:
This is an example of how to break up paragraphs on a page.
This is the same example.
- Don't inject crude humor into a story that's intended to be played straight.
- Please categorize the pages in your story. For example, if your story is called "The Story", then please add [[Category:The Story]] to each new page you create for your story.
Rules
People have a tendency to create branches where the character dies. To prevent the story from being just a tree with all dead ends:
- For each page where you kill the player's character, you must create at least 2 pages (with content) where s/he can go on.
- Please stick to the theme and setting of the story, and discuss ideas for major changes on the discussion pages. Although creativity is encouraged, radical plot changes and inconsistencies will ruin the flow.
- If something is off topic, remove it.
- Try to capitalize and spell your words correctly.
- ADD OPTIONS AND NOT JUST TEXT! Complete pages include options so the story can continue (unless the page is an ending). Incomplete pages will be edited or deleted.
To Do List
- Go through and fix or remove status indicators from pages.
- Some are not needed in stories and were copied and pasted from the template.
- Some are missing the level and MP from the line of code.
- Remove off-topic pages.
- Correct capitalization and spelling mistakes.
- Add a basic, or main, timeline of background events during the period that the character is making choices in - those events are usually out of the character's control. This will help add consistency.
- Pages with major spelling, grammar or other problems, but not problems that render the page spam and a candidate for deletion, should be categorized in the Pages Requiring Attention Category to get other editors to help fix it up. If a page is not yet complete, add it to Category:Pages Under Construction so people know the editor is still working on it and it does not need to have someone improve it.
- Story Endings should be categorized with Category:Endings.
