Mostly Fanfiction - the due South COYA (if it doesn't drive me mad first) and RL dilemma

[buzzylittleb]

Writing COYAs* is difficult. My plot tree has plot trees coming out of everywhere and, it seems, zillions of versions of the same scene with little plot changes and changes of little details to account for the diversion of each little choice. It is, in short, flow chart hell

Continuing to cheer you on for the CYOA...and I really like that none of your options are "Fraser wonders what would have happened if he made other choices, then blacks out and never wonders about anything again". (I mean, I do read some death!fic...I even write some death!fic...but I don't like it in a CYOA.)

And I'll be wearing my slash-goggles in case there is any hint of subtext somewhere.

I have

"There’s something I’ve needed to tell you for a long time…"

in a dialogue tree thing [one of three possible answers - to Ray]

All I need is a bloody case! Every option is set up just to hit the plot recap/expansion thing

(otherwise known as the guys reading the paperwork while eating in the Chinese-Polish restaurant. A book called "Linger Awhile" by Russell Hoban features a Genghiz Cohen restaurant doing kosher chinese food. Russell Hoban's best known book is "The Mouse and his Child")

p.s. mountie + motorcycle + sidecar ? did i imagine it?

Genghiz Cohen Chinese Kosher Restaurant! LOL!

(BTW, I actually do own a legit Chinese Kosher cookbook.)
