I wrote Choose your own Adventure stories before apps like this existed and it was hellish to keep track of all the threads. It seems like it could be a lot easier and more fun to write with an app such as Zory.

I can't imagine how hard multiple path stories would be to plot and write!

Choose Your Own Romance... what a concept!

It's a great idea, isn't it?
