You are male || You are female ||
I am numbering each submission after the first, in an alternating alphanumeric sequence. For example, the first choice you make is gender. Male is 1, Female is 2. The next choices in each chain are 1 a,b, or c, and 2 a,b, or c. If you want to go back a choice, you remove the last number/letter, etc.
I do not title each 'page' by what happens, for obvious reasons. I don't want people jumping from page to page, randomly.
To make a choice, click the hypertext links as the first thing in the comment section of each page. For example, the first page, (WHEN COMPLETED, still under construction) will have the links /you are male/ and /you are female/
I then make any comments I choose to make. Choice texts with no URL mean I plan to make them, but have not been written yet.
I make no promises on update frequency, like 'every day' or X days each week'. I do them when A) I have an idea, B) I have time, C) when I feel they're ready to be put out there. Check back whenever you feel like it.
Criticism welcome!

Sounds like a great intro. I assume the whole 'Adventure' will be taking place in the trippy brain therapy world? At first, I thought things were going to start happening afterwards.
Anyway, I won't presume to have inspired this idea of your's, but can I ask if my recent story with the Choose-Your-Own background reminded you about wanting to do this sort of thing? Spurred you on, maybe.
In any case, I hope this goes well for you! How will you be doing your CYOA? On FA, or on a site that can allow others to submit pieces of the story, much like existing CYOA sites?
Oop! I just read your journal about how it'll go. So, I see.. you'll be writing all of it yourself, much like the author of a CYOA book, and then the readers will simply follow along the branches you create. Right?
I hope this next part doesn't sound stupid, but...
If this takes off in a major way (which I hope it does, you seem like you'll create something rather great with it), might I suggest the idea of reducing the amount of work you would potentially have to do with the increased size (although this depends on how large you plan to make this/if it's meant to be a finite set of stories or more like the unending possibilities inherent in the open public CYOAs) by leading one of your branches into a situation that could then be taken up by another author? I'm not saying this because I don't think you can do it all yourself, but if, later on, you want to branch out into more areas, perhaps into a type of TF that you don't have as much interest in, you could bring in a guest writer to create a whole other limb of branching material. You would have to both tell them what you wanted to see happen within the section and approve of all the entries before they were put up here, of course.
I'd be lying if I didn't think of myself as a potential contributor, since I love the CYOA concept, but at the same time, I imagine you could get others who would want to contribute. You'd approach them yourself, though. Asking for volunteers and having to turn a lot of them down would be troublesome.

We'll have to see. At this moment there are so few chapters I'm not sure people get a jist of how it'll go yet - we're not even up to the first TF yet! The future remains open for now. The one main thing I'm cautious about is that the change in writing styles between authors. It's like two different movie directors working on different parts of the same movie.
