Welcome to Step-by-Step Story!

Hey guys, welcome to my newest idea for a blog series. I'm not sure exactly how this will go, but I'm excited to find out. Also, I apologize in advance for the sort of low quality that this blog is.

Right, enough chat. Let's explain how this works.

My idea is simple. In each Step-by-Step Story, I will provide a scenario in the blog. Then, it's up to you, the blog readers, to decide where it goes in the comments. That's it.

Now, let me set the ground rules.

The Rules

Rule #1 is : you must do it in steps. That's why it's called Step-by-Step Story. Here's an example.

user001 - Step 1: go outside

user002 - Step 2 : run away

Get it?

Rule #2 : Do not leave two comments consecutively. Please. The idea is really that the storyline moves with different people's train of thought.

Oh, and one more thing. Each step needs to work with the ones previously. For example, if user006 leaves a comment reading - Step 7: Destroy an airplane, then user008 could not use 'Take off in the airplane' as their Step 8. 

Starting Scenario 

Alright then, here's my starting point for you.


You find yourself in the wilderness with nothing but the clothes you are wearing.


What is your Step 1?

I think a half-moderated approach would produce the most comprehensible stories. Something similar to a game master in a TTRPG, perhaps.

*initial prompt from GM*

*response from community*

*consequence of response from GM*

*response from community*

*consequence of response from GM*

and so on.
