Gaming my novel

Posted by on May 22, 2011 in Extras, Games | 0 comments

Hi chaps. You probably do not know it but I’m writing a fantasy young adult novel by the name of “La Montaña de Dios” (God’s Mountain). And yes, I’m using my mother tongue which happens to be Spanish.

So why should you care?

Because of this weird idea I’m having and that you might imitate if you are also into writing. I’ll be gaming the last few chapters of my novel. Anybody able to understand Spanish (or who would hire a translator) is welcome.

The idea is that the writer (in this particular case yours truly) will send an email to brief the player with an introduction to the world, the characters, and the events. Just as you would do in a role-playing game. Following this initial email, the writer will send a” chunk” of the novel with a few options at the end of the chunk. The player can choose any of these, much like you would do in a game book but it’s also welcome to add his own suggestions or take the initiative, just as you would do in a standard role-playing game.

I hope that it will help me to write a better, unique and much more fun ending to my fantasy novel; and it’s an idea that I want to share with the world.

Te espero, amigo
