Writing multiple endings?
Lol yes and no Itās rewarding afterwards ahahhaa especially when readers message you to tell you that they killed everyone
The next one will likely be the December contest but the last two December contests havenāt had anything to do with Christmas/the holidays (Star Power and Rebounding I believe) but maybe the next one will?
Of my published stories or this one?
The published ones with many endings are Hit and Run (everyone can die), Cyberstalk (1&2) and Maternal Instincts (everyone can die).
Back to the main topic: One ending down! This episode is realllly long though
I had a hard time figuring out how to end branches where everyone didnāt die. I used a ācliffhangerā theme to end the branches on, ie āI guess youāll have to wait and find out.ā I know it leaves the branches open ended, but sometimes thatās better than absolute resolution.
I think the biggest challenge Iāve found w/ this contest is keeping it PG-13. A bit hard. I know movie thrillers~* do it all the time, but lbr, movie ratings are pretty lenient nowadays.
Yes
Not so much with this story, but in one of my other stories, the saddest ending (the one that made me bawl when writing it and every single time I read it) was actually my favourite, mostly because I felt that it was the most realistic.
My favorite ending in my Thriller is not the happiest ending, but I love it.
I included a gem choice at the end of the story to play alternate endings with a guide that includes:
Happiest Ending
Deadliest Ending
Most Tragic Ending (because that is not the deadliest)
and
Authorās Favorite.
After the contest Iāll be releasing a bonus episode with all endings and a FAQ section (I do this for all my stories)
Truthfully thereās a lot of overlap though, so some episodes are quite similar but I usually give suggestions too haha.
Itās a thriller/action(kinda?) about a mother saving her daughter. Think along the lines of Taken (except you play as both the mother and daughter).Thereās a spotlight version (complete) and a cinematic version (ongoing).
I hope you still decide to publish it but like I mentioned, maybe it will also fit a future contest theme? That does mean youāll have to wait and hope for the best though, lol.
Oh⦠yes?! Iām not sure if thatās a good thing or a bad thing haha
It happens. Honestly I have a LOT of work to do if I want to make it still.
On the plus side, you now have a story started and planned so at least you can publish something new fairly soon if you want
Haha thatās okay. If you ever feel like starting again, Iāve released a fully-directed full-body version which Iāll be completing after I get this thriller entry out lol
Well last yearās December contest was Star Power so the December contest could be anything . I entered Maternal Instincts in the Valentineās contest
