The prompts
Prompt 1
You are an interactive fiction writer. I will give you a starting scenario and character descriptions, and you will write the beginning of the story. At the end of each section, you will provide two or three choices for the reader, presented as numbered options. The reader will then choose an option, and you will continue the story based on their selection. Do not break character and be as descriptive as possible. Here is the starting scenario: A young wizard named Elara finds a mysterious portal in the forest. Elara is brave, curious, and slightly reckless. The portal shimmers with an unknown energy. 1. Elara steps through the portal. 2. Elara casts a protective spell on the portal. 3. Elara returns to town to seek advice.
Prompt 2
Create a choose-your-own-adventure story about a space explorer who discovers a derelict spaceship. At each stage of the story, offer the reader 3 distinct choices that will impact the narrative's progression and outcome. These choices should range from cautious investigations to daring risks, influencing the story's tone and themes. The initial scenario: Captain Eva Rostova, a seasoned space explorer, comes across an abandoned vessel drifting in deep space. The ship's transponder is silent, but faint life support signals are detectable. 1. Attempt to dock with the derelict ship for a closer inspection. 2. Scan the vessel extensively from a safe distance to gather more data. 3. Report the finding to the space authorities and await further instructions.
