I’m sorry but could you explain the red lights thing you’re doing? It seems like a really cool idea but it’s just a bit confusing 🤧
Hey!! Thank you so much for the message and your interest <3
I suppose you mean the structure/concept itself?
The story is about the reader who participates in a reality TV show and soon realises that she actually already knows all the other candidates from real life. The purpose of the show is that mc has to choose one of the eight at the end of the show (as her boyfriend, similar to Bachelorette).
It is basically like a Christmas calender (each day until 25/12/23 another chapter gets added) and at the end of each chapter, readers can make a decision and choose an option how the story unfolds (by selecting the tumblr poll at the end of the post, it’s all anonymous). This will determine what happens next—it can be small details like for instance whose background story we see next or what happens on a date but they will get more severe, I promise.
The polls are always up for 24h and then a new chapter drops. Sometimes, when the last poll doesn’t determine the next chapter (but another one in the future instead) I post the next episode a little earlier. But the poll will still be up and taken into consideration!!
I hope this makes sense and that I didn’t spoil anything from the plot too much 🥹 we are currently half way through (episode 13) but you can still read it now! The only small “disadvantage” is that you can’t make a decision on the polls 1-12 anymore but that isn’t bad imo :)
