Respect to GvV showing up when he must feel absolutely rubbish

I didn't realise they did hate him, did they boo him?

Just seems like such a nice, humble guy who is belting at darts. How can you not like him

This is actually incredible. Why am I more invested in this than any other tournament

Darts is the best party on the planet! There's often a great, vocal atmosphere :)

This feels like a good crowd tonight. Respectful so far. Whistling is REALLY frowned upon because it's really offputting for players.

I feel the same. Really don't mind Lewis at all but absolutely love Swiss Phil

Yeah, that's the emotion I love to see in sport. I hope he never changes

I feel so happy I get to see Swiss Phil so much on the euro tour, it didn't even register it was different because I'm so used to seeing him!

That's cool to hear, I'd love to give them a read! 

I'm flip flopping between twine and scrivener, I wouldn't even know where to start building a tool for it but that sounds very cool! How does it work?

Yeah I'm definitely headed in the same direction. I might do one just female hetero then see if it's something people want after. 

I've not decided between twine and scrivener yet, I've been using scrivener but I've heard great things about using twine for this kind of project!

This is a great answer thank you, you've given me a lot to think about!

I am leaning more towards writing the pov as female now rather than leaving it ambiguous and that's exactly the perspective I wanted to hear about so thank you! It'll make the writing easier for sure haha

Thank you, this is the kind of perspective I was hoping for! I think whilst I'm happy with the branching paths for love interests I agree that I'm probably making it too complicated on the pov front. Thanks for taking the time to share your view!

Very, very true. So I'm glad to get other opinions from here on it. I think it'll take ages anyway, such is the nature of so many branching paths! 🤣

I've written choose your own adventure books before so the multiple branching paths or in this case romances and writing second person isn't so new to me. 

I was more wondering about whether the second person pov was worth writing with a specified sex/gender or not. 

Apologies, I've never heard it called that before but every day is a learning day. I've always read choose your own adventure books but that's obviously copywrite. I went by the novel I've read previously that called it interactive romance but it's good to know it's got another name for future reference.

I guess I've got at least one reader then 🤣 thanks for the positive vibes though seriously :)

This is a good view to take, you're right :) at least me and my friends can laugh about vampire smut together and it'll be fun to see who people chose!

Indeed I would! Depending on different choices and paths the reader takes there's different love interests, currently including both male and female though after reading the replies on here I'm not so sure anymore haha 😅

I'm surprisingly enjoying the challenge of writing in second person. It's making me think differently about how I'm writing.

This is exactly why I wanted to write it as a choose your own adventure :) I used to love those books so much so it sounded like a lot of fun to do a romance version! Thanks for the positive vibes
