Novel Kicks Writing Room: Interactive Fiction

Published October 29, 2025 | By Laura

Welcome back to the Novel Kicks Writing Room.

Today’s exercise is a fun and interesting one (I hope).

I love the choose your own adventure stories. Do you fancy creating your own? Well, here is your chance.

Pick one of the following fairytales –

Little Red Riding Hood

Hansel and Gretel

Three Little Pigs

Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Once you’ve decided, take some time to think about the narrative – what happens throughout the story?

Write it out chronologically. Now, think about what could happen if you had other options in the story. For example, what if Little Red Riding Hood reached her Grandmother’s house and the Grandmother is the villain? However, due to a previous choice to help the wolf, he then comes to the rescue.

This is how you could begin –

Little Red Riding Hood begins the walk to her Grandmother’s house. She reaches a crossroads:

Option A – She turns left and heads straight for her Grandmother with no issues.

Option B – She goes right and finds a wolf cub on the road.

This is a great exercise and I hope you have as much fun as I did.

If you’d like to create one digitally rather than on paper, this is a great site and it’s free.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
