Yesterday, Chris from Adventure Cow announced a “write-your-own choose-your-own adventure competition”, which begins 11/15 (next Monday) and runs through 12/15. You remember those old Choose Your Own Adventure books, right? Well, this is your chance to write your own!
Writing your own adventure on Adventure Cow is simple — you provide the text and the story links, and the website manages the rest. The contest has two entry levels: a “Starter League” for stories that reach 50 pages, and an “Adventure League” for stories 150 pages in length or more.
If this weren’t taking place smack dab in the middle of NaNoWriMo I’d be all over it, but I’m behind as it is and I’m not sure I’ll find the time to finish two lengthy writing projects. I’m hoping for one, really.

Random thoughts:
I was thinking the same thing: In the middle of NaNoWriMo? They need to change that to a different date.
Also, when I saw CYOA I immediately thought: Cover your Own A$$.
I would like to do a CYOA but I’m at a complete loss for anything worthwhile. I came up with an idea for Mr. Flibble at CGE but that hasn’t been fleshed out at all.
