Author's Notes:
A long time ago, I wanted to do an interactive fiction based on Lois and Clark going to a costume party, and Lois (the player) having to get the costumes. It was originally going to be a Text Adventure. If you're not sure what those are:
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. Exits are North, South, and Dennis.
>Go North
You see a hungry bear
>Talk to bear about quantum physics
You have now been eaten by a bear.
**GAME OVER**
They tend to feature puzzles. My original goal was to have the final costume based on the player's level of success, with a different ending for each costume achieved. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to turn shopping into a puzzle (not that it's never been done, examples exist, just that I couldn't come up with anything decent myself), so the idea got shelved for *YEARS*.
Then came KSaraSara. Some time back, we were shooting the breeze on Discord, and she ended up making a little CYA for me ("Drinks After Work", open a new tab and go read it now! It's awesome!) It was a lot of fun. So much fun, that I eventually looked it up to re-read it, and the author's notes got me thinking...
If I wanted an interactive story with different endings, why not just do a CYA?!
It made perfect sense, and one of my earliest fandoms had a massive CYA that anyone could contribute to, so why hadn't I thought of it before?
So here we are, and writing this has been a fun and challenging experience, and I hope that you all will enjoy it and maybe even join in.
