Monster Brothel - Second Person or OC?
Added 2018-04-18 23:42:29 +0000 UTC
Traditionally, a CYOA is told from a second person POV, with the reader (You) assuming the role of the main protagonist who will make decisions which effect how the story will turn out. There are a lot of benefits to this format, the main being that it allows the reader to put themselves into the story, becoming the 'hero' without concern for sex, gender, race, age or sexual preference.
HOWEVER, given that the Monster Brothel idea is specifically geared towards being an erotically based adventure, this presents a few primary issues. If I write it according to the traditional platform, most scenes will proceed easily regardless of the configurations of the individual reader. But once things progress to the more intimate parts of the COYA, it would become difficult for the reader to feel that they are experiencing these events.
I want to leave this as open as possible for everyone to experience. I'd like it to have a variety of scenes and possibilities so that there is a little something for everyone. But the position of the main protagonist is something that needs to be figured out now before I get any further in the process.
So I'd like to hear your input on this! Would you rather I:
