What Is the Unending BE Adventure?

Unlike a "normal" Continuous Story, an Addventure doesn't get "stuck." If one particular storyline seems to have gotten bogged down, just back up and take another branch. Within days, there will be hundreds of open branches to extend whenever you like. All types of stories can exist in one place, since there are literally hundreds of mini-stories going on simultaneously in an Addventure.

This BE Addventure was inspired by the original Addventure , most especially Addventure Game 3 . The BE Addventure is using the Addventure code (provided under GNU Copyleft), so everybody thank the fine folks at Addventure for their time and energy that has gone into the code!

You may also want to stop by some episodes of Addventure's Game 3 which are particularly relevant to BE:

• An Odd Bra (Scott picks out a Nurse's costume with an Odd Bra)
• Wer? What? (Scott can become a were-stripper if he wants)
• The Ultimate Remote Control Guess what some of the buttons do?
• Addventure: A New Beginning

Now, for our Unending BE Addventure , there are a few rules and a few guidelines to consider:

Rules

1. Every story segment (called an "episode") must contain between one and six links to future episodes. Although you decide the "link text" for those episodes (the text which a reader would click to go to that episode), you don't have to enter the future episodes themselves. Indeed, usually future episodes are written by other people. But you cannot have an episode which has no links, and you cannot have an episode with more than 6 links. The program will prevent them.

2. The story never ends. This is obvious, given rule 1, but just to be explicit about it: the story never ends. If you feel like the story should wrap up in a particular spot, you can have the main character go to sleep and wake up back at Episode 2, which is the main root of the whole story. (This introduction you're reading now is Episode 1). The start was specifically written to have a character wake up, so you can link back there at any time.

3. No sabotage . It depresses me that I have to say this, but apparently I have to. It's OK to have a branch or two link back to the root, but you will not be permitted to "kill" someone's story branch by linking all of its children back to the story root. I don't care if you're the "original author" or just a bully. You will not be permitted to sabotage this BE Addventure. You don't like that? Don't write here. Sabotage will be defined and dealt with at the moderator's discretion.

4. No flame wars . Avoid using the Addventure to "write" to other authors. That's what the Plume Forum is for. Especially no flaming of previous authors. Don't like what they wrote? Then either don't follow its links, or write a branch from it that goes in a direction you want to go. Do NOT write text in your episode about how dumb a previous author was, or how they ignored part of a story, or what-have-you. This Addventure is open to the public. That means anyone can add to it, even people who don't follow continuity or who incorporate elements you don't like. Deal with it. Flame episodes may be removed at the moderator's discretion.

5. If you change your mind and decide not to write an episode after you've already begun writing it , DO NOT just click the Back button on your browser to go back - use the "Cancel" links provided on every "data entry" page instead. Using "Cancel" cleans up the files properly - just going "Back", or quitting from your browser, leaves your episode half-finished and it will be a few hours before it will be cleaned up and someone else can write that episode.

Guidelines

1. When you're writing an episode, you're writing in HTML. If you put in carriage returns to break up paragraphs, they will NOT be preserved and put into the episode. You instead need to put in the HTML code for a paragraph break, which is <p> (a "p" inside angle brackets). You may decide to use an HTML editor to write your episode, and then copy it into the browser - this will work fine, but be sure to only copy the part inside the "body" of your HTML document when you copy it in.

2. Likewise, you can use any other HTML codes you like when writing an episode. To make words bold, put them between <b> and </b> tags. To make them italic, put them between <i> and </i> tags. Just about any HTML is allowed in episodes.

3. When making up choices for future links, remember you can only have between 1 and 6 choices. Try to make the choices be something noticeably different. If you write an episode that says "Jim picks out a shirt to wear" and the choices are "a red shirt", "a blue shirt", "a green shirt", and so on, most people find that almost impossible to follow up, and it tends to kill the entire future of your episode. This is probably because writers want to make use of the story so far and make the story on their choice be different than other choices. But how would choosing a different color shirt make their future different? If you must have a "choose a shirt" episode, make the choices more radically different, like "a shirt with a magic pentagram on it", "a shirt with a picture of Marilyn Monroe, that seems to sparkle and glow", and so forth.

4. When in doubt, make fewer links. The fewer choices, the better - it helps keep the story together. Vitamin C suggests using only 2 choices in most situations - I prefer a general rule of 3 choices, but you get the picture... KISS!

5. It's usually nice to add a "something else" link as a choice. If you make an episode where you end with the phone ringing, and you want to have the reader decide who's on the phone, don't just put "Sharon" or "Sally" -- also add a third option like "Someone else". This lets writers with a lot of creativity add fun and interesting twists you didn't expect into the story.

6. When you're writing a new episode, you will be given the option of "creating all new episodes", or "allowing links to past episodes". Allowing links means that you may want to have some of the choices leading out of your episode to go back to previously-written episodes. If you don't allow links, then all the choices you specify will be brand-new, "blank" episodes, waiting for an author to come and fill them in.

7. When writing an episode, you will also be allowed to specify whether "linking is enabled". Checking this box would allow future episode writers to link back to your episode. If you leave it unchecked, then nobody will be able to link back to your episode with one of their choices.

8. The same general sorts of cautions exist as in the Continuous Stories. Please don't be rude to previous authors - if you don't like something they're writing, go to another branch of the tree that you do like. Do not add on bits saying "that was stupid." Rude additions will be removed at the moderator's discretion.

9. Have fun!

That's it, folks! Have fun, and enjoy this Unending BE Addventure! To start reading at the root of the tree,

A swirly cloud of something that looked like fog filled the room, and then faded into the night. A man lay sleeping in a bed, covers pulled up to his chin. The clock next to him showed "6:59", then quietly flipped to "7:00" and began to beep.

Jim was asleep, and right in the middle of a very exciting dream, when the loud beeping of the alarm woke him up. He blinked his eyes a few times, rolled over and turned off the alarm. He lay there in bed for a moment, remembering what he was supposed to do today. Whatever it was, it had to be better than yesterday, he thought - today is a brand new day!

After laying there quietly for a moment, Jim:

"Damn," Jim thought to himself. "Another day of school is not what I need." Jim's alarm clock (and his mom's shouting) finally forced him out of bed, however. It's annoying buzz was enough to drive anyone insane after just a few short seconds. Jim detested that clock. It had woken him up more times than he could remember. He had also slammed the snooze button so often that sometimes it would get stuck in the pressed position. It had caused him to miss a few periods of school on more than one occation.

Jim looked through his hamper and on his floor and found a shirt that didn't smell all that bad. He had some clean jeans, but he always seemed to be forgetting to do the laundary. He liked it much better when he was a kid and his mom would do it for him. Jim headed downstairs and left for school. He consitered himself lucky to have such a nice car. His parents were well off and his new Ford Explorer was great. He drove off to Shadow Peak High while pumping Gravity Kills out of his speakers.

Jim didn't really want to go to school that day, but he figured that it wouldn't be so bad. He wanted to meet up with Rick, his best friend and research partner. Rick and Jim were the "nerds" of the school. They knew about chemestry, biology, physics, calculus, and everything else that nerds were familiar with. Unlike most nerds, however, they used their vast knowledge for revenge.

Kevin Zeffram, the school's bully/jock, was always giving both of them a hard time. That was, of course, until Rick and Jim slipped a new pill they created into Kevin's beer at a weekend party. Kevin broke out into a rash and his skin developed boils. It wasn't fatal, but it was a very severe allergic reaction to the crazed combo of chemicals found in Rick and Jim's magic pill. After that, Kevin left the two alone and picked on some of the other less inventive nerds.

Rick and Jim's new development, however, was much more interesting than their last. Jim, who never really could admit that he was a nerd, made the mistake of asking out Robin Foster, the school's #1 babe. Her rejection of Jim was very to the point when she said, "I'd be happy to go out with you. The only problem is that I only date humans. I'm not interested in dating piles of festering lard. If you lost about 800 pounds and perhaps got a haircut, I might consiter it. I have a policy, you see... I don't date men with tits bigger than mine."

In just a few short seconds, Jim's heart was ripped out, stomped on and thrown away. Jim, however, thought of a way to get back at her. He was going to make sure that there was no doubt about it... Jim was going to ensure that there would be no confusion as to whose breasts were bigger. Robin already had the nicest breasts in school. She was a natural 34D. Jim was going to ensure that Robin's breasts were much larger than a 34D.

Jim parked his car and...

And remembered the directions...make a wish, then either take the pills yourself or slip them in the victims drink.

Well, they say the best revenge is living well and he thought that he'd definately enjoy this stage of his revenge. With a thought to make himself a god, literally, he swallowed the pill. Almost immediately, the burning sensation started. First period be damned! he thought. The changes began as he ducked into the men's room of the school. He just now considered that this was probably not the best of times for this. Oh, well, can't be helped now he thought as his muscles began bunching up. It was like doing free weights for days on end. His fat, flabby stomach retreated and his chest began to bulk up. His arms and legs became larger and the X-files t-shirt he was wearing was stretching to its limit. His jeans, no longer supported by a 48" waist fell to the floor. His shirt was reduced to tatters as he inhaled. Clad only in boxers, at 7 feet tall, he noticed his member. He stared in shock, he had wished for power and he felt the stirrings of a lust that would shake this building to the ground. His stomach now rock-hard he penis was seeking to emulate this performance and began to expand. As it reached its old limit at 6 pathetic inches, it paused breifly and he renewed his wish for a gigantic manhood, that Robin would worship. As if reading his thoughts, which it might have been, it surged to eight inches with a girth so thick he couldn't close his hand around it when he tried. He had to settle for massaging it. He was not surprised to see his balls expanding at a pace with his "meat hook" He stopped growing when the sheer size of it reduced him to his knees and his balls were all but dragging on the floor. He could now blow himself by leaning straight forward. Doing this and simultaneously using both hands, which couldn't fit around and touch, he jacked off there in the bathroom. It didn't take long, he new size turning him on.

"Thank God everyone's in class right" now he thought just before his dick erupted. he had enough time to pull it out of his mouth before the flood. "The janitor's going to hate me for this" Then bliss, pure bliss, as almost a full quart of sugar poured from the tip and blew one of the tiles right up into the ceiling.

RRRRIIINNNNGGGG!!!!!

"Shit the bell," he thought, "gotta calm down." He did so as quickly as is humanly possible and used his new powers to look like his old self again. He remembered to add clothes at the last second, then......
