What Is the Unending BE Adventure?

This is a sort of combination of the Continuous Stories and an Interactive Story. Anybody can add segments to the story, but each time you do, you have to provide links to one or more future story segments. The stories immediately begin branching off in all sorts of strange directions, and all of them are available to be read or extended any time, by anyone.

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:


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,

Episode 2: The Start of a Brand New Day

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:

  1. (* 23) decided to go back to sleep to try to get back into his dream.
Branch episodes:
  1. (* 65) remembered it was his girlfriend's birthday.
  2. (* 9) heard his mother telling him he was going to be late for school.
  3. (* 10) suddenly realized he wasn't alone in his bed.
  4. (* 2) became aware that he didn't know where he was.

Episode 4: Back to the dream...

Jim, only half awake, fully remembered where he was before his rude interruption. After silencing the alarm, he collapsed back into his new down pillow and felt himself drifting away...

Ah, yes.. That's where he was.. Target. He had just gone in to see if they started selling DVD's yet. No DVDs here, but some other new product was in that had all the women in town packing into the store in droves. He looked above him to see a giant sign that read, "SuperBRA is HERE!"

Jim heard a door open behind him and he spun around to see a young hispanic woman emerging from the dressing rooms. She lifted her hands to cup her breasts and let out a sigh of pleasure. Jim stood there, staring at her from 3 feet away. Either she was too wrapped up in her new bra to notice him, or she didn't care. Jim's eyes widened as he noticed her nipples stiffen and poke her bra and tight, white blouse. She let out another sigh and her breasts swelled to the size of large oranges.

Jim took another step forward to get an even better view of the spectacle. He could feel his pantsnake growing in his shorts. The young lady groaned with a big smile on her face as her breasts swelled out further. She bounced them up and down with her palms and giggled as she watched them jiggle up and down. Dropping her hands to her sides, she arched her back and let out a "Mmmmmmmm!" as her boobs swelled again, to the size of cantalopes. Her nipples were trying to puch their way out of her bra, making two little tents in her blouse.

Jim couldn't believe what he was wittnessing. The beautiful woman was still in her pose, back arched, looking to the ceiling. Her breasts swelled up another time. The outlines of her bra were clearly visible in her blouse. It must be made of some kind of spandex material, because it was stretching well to accommodate her growth spurts. Then she let out a loud moan and her breasts swelled up again, projecting from her ribcage a good 10 inches, Jim thought. Her blouse tore open in front, revealing her deep, dark, SuperBRA-encased cleavage. At this point she snapped out of her pose and looked down at her incredible bust. Her skin was deeply tanned and covered with goosebumps from the air-conditioning.

A salesclerk in a red vest walked past her and she stopped him and asked, "Where do you have blouses?" Before the clerk could respond, Jim was jolted awake by the ringing of a telephone.

  1. (* 9) It's Sharon! She must be reminding Jim about the birthday party

Episode 27: Back to sleep

Jim was once again fast asleep, and had returned to his dreamland Target store. The salesclerk was just finishing giving directions to the, now super-endowed, hispanic woman.

Jim made his way to the SuperBra sales display where he found a brief explanation of the pruduct.

NEW SuperBra - More You, More Fun

What a dumb slogan, Jim thought. The information continued:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
The SuperBra can be worn like any normal bra. However, the SuperBra is unlike any other bra currently available. Through our patented technology the SuperBra will give you the look you've always wanted. Just visualize your new size.

CAUTIONS:
Although every effort has been made to make this a safe product, side effects may include: intense pleasure during size changes, increased sex drive, increases sexual sensitivity over the whole body, lactation, and/or other random bodily changes. Less than one percent of test cases also had minor headaches. SuperBra Corp. is not responsible for any results from the use of the SuperBra

As Jim read this, and re-read parts of it, he noticed that this dream was somehow more real than other dreams. Usualy writing in dreams is unintelligable or changes each time it is read. But this didn't happen here. He pinched himself to be sure he was dreaming, and when no pain resulted decided to just continue on.

Jim put several packages of the SuperBra into his shopping cart which appeared in front of him and...

  1. (   0) ... went to ask about the availability of DVD's
  2. (   0) ... stepped back to watch another woman try on a SuperBra
  3. (   0) ... awoke suddenly to find a shopping cart full of SuperBras in his room
  4. (   0) ... went to the dream Target cashier to buy everything in his cart
