Possible Deltarune Interactive Fanfic Idea
(This was originally meant for Reddit, but since Mods are assholes and keep banning this for no reason, I am posting here)
Hi everyone. I'm very new to the Deltarune fandom, but I had a possible idea for a fanfic that I thought I would run by people within the Deltarune Community.
As the title of the post suggest, the story itself would be interactive. The story would be posted similar to the game, Volume by Volume. Each volume would start with a chapter one or a starting chapter, and from there, the reader reads the story (obviously) and interacts with the text when the situation calls for it.
In terms of the plot, the fanfic would follow similarly to the game, at least in terms plot points. Dialogue may be slightly altered by me in order to fully translate the idea to a fic format, but in general, I would intend to capture the essence of the characters as presented within the game in action, description, internal dialogue, and external dialogue. This includes Kris, who, while controlled by the player, still has a distinct personality as is seen by their reactions and descriptions within the game itself.
As for how the interaction within the fic would work, my current concept is that, through posting volume by volume, every choice that can be made will be posted at one single time. Then, I would go back and edit each chapter to embed links into the options that the "player" can make. The options for the fic will work similar to the game where in certain dialogue scenarios, fight sequences, and actions, the "player" will make the decision for Kris. Then, through the embedded links, the player will travel to the chapter of that corresponding choice where the "player" will continue their journey. Some options, such as for dialogue, may result in short chapters where there is a short description and will have the option to return to the chapter where the choice was originally made as to further capture the essence of the game and allow the "player" to have more freedom and exploration.
As a plus, since I wish to take some creative freedom with this work, I will attempt to expound upon each volume, such as extending conversations and events that would normally be taken up by gameplay. This includes shipping! I am even willing (and wanting) to add choices that allow the "player" to explore any ship they like (as long as it follows basic ethics, so no unreasonable age gap [e.g. character 1 is 19 and character 2 is 57] or adult/minor ships or incest will be explored). For example, in volume one of the game, there would be options for possible romantic Krusie dialogue/action options, and (if wished) Ralsei x Kris dialogue/action options (since I am new to this community I am not sure how this ship is viewed or the name of this ship). Also, just to clarify, all romantic options will result to SFW scenarios, even as the "romance" of your choice progresses. At most, the scenario MIGHT be PG-13, but even then, that is a heavy might, so please take it with a grain of salt.
Also don't worry any non-shippers, there would also be plenty of platonic dialogue options, so rest easy.
I would really like to explore this concept, so any questions or advice or critiques to this concept would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to comment down below with any thoughts!
