This obviously isn't a true CYOA type of story -- because that assumes all the different paths are written -- and that readers can go back and read the paths not taken. Instead this is the readers and I working together to create one path (that starts with my outline but becomes something else). And that's a very different thing.
HOWEVER. Depending on how this project goes -- I can totally imagine going back and writing alternate endings or alternate paths -- maybe for a published volume we could do something like that?
I think a lot of it is going to depend on the quality of the story we ultimately get out of it and also how the experience went.
This is the project on the slate that I am most excited about and also most concerned about (in that I am a control freak and this deliberately has very few controls on it).
Honestly? I don't know.
