Rewriting Game

[omnicrumb]

once again... (Drumroll please: and drumpitch and drumyaw if you are feeling lowkenuieourous [:apology:])...! ive got another Game Idea!


Here's the premise: every post on the topic is someone's notes on the previous post, or a complete rewrite of the previous post in some kind of genre or format (e.g. myth, poem, romance novel, creepypasta, et cetera!)!

And... that's it! Honestly im just kind of throwing things at the wall and seeing if i can make something both interesting and adhesive, like the word "mucilage". This particular instance of aforementioned wallchucking could be chalked up to choking on the literature-shaped shadow i seem to have acquired after reading the (little? well?) known (?) book (?) House of Leaves, which I really liked even though I know I by no means have properly pieced apart lots of it. The structure of footnotes and then toenotes and then toenail notes all the way down, and nested layers of inaccuracy and interpretation is just really cool, especially when disparate parts of the reinterpretations connect back to previous ideas and points in lower levels and vice versa. (Callbacks to previous edits would also be cool but i couldn't figure how to shoehorn that into a probably actually fun premise, so...)

But anyways: the game needs to start somewhere! I'm not really sure what sort of text would be best for the start though. Does anyone know any good poems or very short stories or quotes or excerpts or other pieces of text-containable information and idea that could well fit here? I think starting the game on that could be fun!
