Ok now I know that 2nd person stories aren't allowed and I'm fully aware of that so I'm not posting it here. I'm just wondering if anyone had any tips or found tutorials on making a story in the style of books like Warlock of Firetop mountain or Forest of doom? Any help would be greatly appreciated and don't flame me saying these stories aren't allowed to be posted on this forum because I know that.

I have the story done I just need help turning it into the style of a fighting fantasy book.

Oh and mods, if 2nd person discussion isn't allowed at all then sorry I just thought it meant I couldn't post the story itself.

If that was true, Saffire Persian would be long gone... ;;

Well, I'm very inexperienced in that POV, but from what I've read from those books it's rather similar to third person, just more engaging and all "he/she"s turned into "you"s.

Saffire probably has much more info on this, so you could PM her for pointers or wait for her to notice this thread.

Just don't go adding numbered sections that are not in sequence like the books. ;)

that was my point to create a book with the numbered sections. I was hoping for pointers on how to plan it out more than anything.

Writing well in second-person is extremely challenging, and CYOA-type works are all the more so because of the need to keep track of branching plot paths. Unless it's done on a website where choices are clickable links, there's really no way (at least that I can think of) to get around the numbered sequencing in paged, top-to-bottom reading formats such as books and forum topics.
