I allowed myself to progress naturally through a story, but before I'd choose a particular path I'd mark my page with my finger or a piece of paper so if I met an unfortunate end, I could immediately backtrack and choose the other option. Pretend like I never picked the "wrong" path, if you know what I mean. Because sometimes the story becomes too good to have to start back at the beginning!
(Hey. I'm a girl who likes to explore all her options before making a decision!)
Who else was a cheater?
