Definitely a version of the first one. The format is usually done in comic form, but I am not an artist (at least not that good), and lack the means anyway. So it's going to be text-based. I start, by saying "This is you, this is what is around you" maybe a brief explanation of what needs to be known, and then I take suggestions for about 6-24 hours, 48 if things are slow. When I have enough suggestions to move the story forward, I then post again, moving the character and the plot in the way the commenters (or the consensus of them) say to.

Comments could be something like "Open the door" or "Tell the hooded man that we come in peace" or "what do we have in our pockets?" Stuff like that.

Edit: If two comments contradict each other, I use them as votes. (2 people say "take the left path" and 1 says "take the right" so I have the character take the left)

That would be the plan. I don't want to spoil what I have put together, but it would basically be an occult-lite theme. Elements of discovering secret knowledge about the world, encountering mystic forces and supernatural beings, that sort of thing.

I'm thinking that people can just private message me their suggestions, as well as whether they'd like that particular suggestion to be anonymous, then I will start the next post with an abridged version of what I was sent. Maybe later something can be worked out where the "players" have room to discuss with each other.

So, do I have permission to do something like that?

I don't know whether it's you who's able to grant this or Brandon (I think that was the other mod's name), but could I have a sub-folder of General Discussions to keep this all contained?

Any word on when this might happen?

Sounds like a good plan. I've tried bugging him on Discord to no avail.

Well, if no one objects, I'm going to go ahead and start anyway. If I have to migrate to a new folder at a later time, then that's fine by me. (What follows is the beginning of an interactive story, where everyone who is not me contributes to the actions of a single character; the Audience Avatar if you will. Every time I update, I will take what you all say and apply it as if the character decided to do those things. If two peoples' votes contradict each other, I will weigh all the people who want that thing to happen against all those who don't. That being said, let's gooooo...)


A COLD FLOOR IN THE DARK

Sonia wakes up to a pitch-black room, the grain of old, water-damaged wood underneath her. It is too dark to see anything, but she can tell she's on the cold floor (made of planks), and there are numerous block shapes scattered around. Judging by the way they feel and how they can open on one side, they must be books. Please recommend an action.
