About Quantum Adventure

What sets Quantum-Adventure apart from other collaborative fiction and interactive storytelling website?

Quantum-Adventure allows the same story-writing capacity as several other sites, with the ability to branch or fork your storyline or the storyline of other authors.

One thing that other systems do not take account of is that the stories you write are about characters; and not just any characters. People write about characters that they care about. When you care that much about something, you feel just as strongly about it as you do the stories that your characters appear in.

In fact, they are integral. It has been said that the characters create the story, for, without the particular characters it happens to be about, the outcome of the story would be much different, would it not?

To that end, Quantum-Adventure provides you with the ability to single out each of your characters and identify which parts of your story that each appears in. Readers can visit a character's homepage to see a list of all chapters and sections that they make an entrance during, so that you can select any adventure they appear in and begin reading.

Honestly, is it realistic to expect that each character will only appear in one story, however long and/or convoluted it may be? What ever happened to "the further adventures of..."?

The other thing that sets Quantum-Adventure apart from other storytelling websites is that it allows you to not only create a branch in an existing story, but it also allows you to create a branch INTO an existing story.

We cannot express how dynamic this makes Quantum-Adventure. Where else can you write your own interactive Groundhog-Day-esque scenarios that force the reader to loop back to previously read sections in order to be allowed a chance to change the options they selected to make a path through the story. In fact, you can use this as a plot device to keep readers looping until they select the correct option sequence to exit the story loop.

Kinda hard to get your head around, isn't it?

Let me explain by way of example: suppose you are reading a story on Quantum-Adventure that includes a character about whom you believe not enough has been written. You can select points in the story that the character appears in and use them as exits and entries to your own creative writing about the character.

Perhaps you are reading a story in which a character makes their appearance part-way into the plot. Later, there are hints at where the character came from, their past, etc. However, there is no backstory actually written. You endeavor to write that particular character's prequel and link up with the main story at the same point that the original author has them making an entrance.

Subsequently, that same character exits the scene and goes about doing their thing for a while. You then write an option into the story where the character exists and provide the details of what actually happened before linking it back into the main body of the original story.

You can also use story options to provide ways for a story to segue deeply into a nested story, such as when one character begins to talk about history, etc. If you want for there to be more detail concerning a particular story that one character tells, you can insert options to do so.

The structural dynamics of Quantum-Adventure are set up specifically to allow two or more stories to be connected, either directly through story options or indirectly through additional stories about the same characters.

Have two characters from two different stories meet and do a cross-story mashup that explores a brief segue of them together before returning each to their original storylines.

This setup provides the optimal environment for writing multiversal stories similar to authors like Michael Moorcock's Elric.

Create your own cross-genre enigmatic character who goes from story to story in order to interact with the characters behind the scenes.

Let your imagination run wild, in other words.
