If you loved those Goosebumps Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid, may I introduce you to interactive fiction?
I'd made it well into adulthood not having "heard of" interactive fiction, so if anyone else was Today Years Old™, don't worry: I was, too.
It's essentially a text-based game where choices you make -- to a lesser or greater degree -- impact the experience of playing through the story.
Naturally, I wanted to have a go at creating some, and here it is, my ACOTAR spoof: A Court of Thorns and Choices. This is a FOND romantasy parody: no shade here, just love and giggles.
