If you loved Choose Your Own Adventure stories as a kid and still wonder where all that branching narrative magic went, you might want to check out ADJUNCT by Ishmael Gilgamesh, in which you are a writer (of some kind) who may (or may not) become an adjunct to pay the bills. This cheeky postmodern pseudo-adventure lives on Inklewriter, the latest and probably best platform yet developed to host branching narratives on the web. You can create and share your own stories too—but be warned: it’s harder than it looks!
