Had a random thought. Would you all be interested in a more interactive experience for stories? Votes for plot progression, that sort of thing.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

It would be good. Of course the problems with that being A) It can be difficult to plan a story ahead when you have to account for the options that could be chosen by us. And B) with a voted story like that there will always be some people who won't be happy with it because they lost the vote and the story didn't end up going the way they wanted.

Ultimately a story needs to go be yours (the authors) and progress how you envision it in order to keep you engaged and interested. Everyone is different but most authors find it easier to write what interests them and as a reader I feel that it’s also easy to see when that happens as the quality of work is better. If you have a story where you yourself have 2 or more ways you think it could progress, polling your audience for their input is a great way to give them a voice and keep them interested. Likewise I have seen authors throw out 3 or 4 story ideas they have and let their readers pick which one they start on next. Getting feedback from your readers is always good but I do worry sometimes when it becomes a “choose your own story”. Everything then becomes formulaic with tons of binary choices and IMO the quality of the writing and story inevitably drops

Cambrian does this and more often than not the votes results are decided by which option leads to smut, which while entertaining to read, takes away from the actual story. Empirically I have learnt that the fan base is horny AF and doesn't care about the story quality when smut is on the table. I would rather you not give them the possibility of ruining stories this way. If you do polls, maybe limit it to what POV the people are interested on, rather than actual choice in how the story evolves.
