Things To Do While Visiting Atherton’s Magic Vapour
You could listen to me read a piece of spam mail aloud (O, My Viagra, My New-Found-Land!)
You could play a Twine game (The Perils of Sir Reginald, Bart.)
You could look at pictures of me in costumes, or even read the related Edwardian-era mystery novella (Alas!)
You could read Stranded!, a Strand-Magazine-Based form of Illustrated Entertainment (start here with a sort of explanation: Stranded!)
...or you could just sort of explore... there is a lot of material here, and (I think) much of it is Very, Very Good.

Yours is the most creative, imaginative, and enjoyable post I’ve read in this challenge thus far. Shhh, don’t let anyone else know. Envy may erupt.
Thanks so much! I think I just felt my ego expanding slightly… 🙂 I am really, really pleased that you enjoyed it! I will return your visit soon. Please stop by again!
SO AWESOME!!!
I write choose your own adventures, and someone has mentioned to me a website that does what you did. It’s so awesome to think about. Thanks for creating and sharing!

Thank you! And I may have been the one to mention this to you, possibly in some past A To Z. I used Twine 1 to make this; Twine 2, however, works in the way you describe (online). Go to twinery.org for more info.
That was absolutely fantastic!
How did you come up with such an idea.
Oh, sorry, what stupid question. You discovered everything.
Hey Sarah! Thanks! 🙂 But… everything? I fear I cannot take credit for absolutely all discoveries. Penicillin and King Tut’s tomb were both discovered by someone else.
Such a brilliant concept for a post! Did you find the technology first, or have the idea and then seek the technology to host it? Either way, superb!

Hey Debs! I used Twine 1 to make this post, and (I think) I wouldn’t have structured my post this way if I didn’t know about Twine. I’ve done quite a lot with Twine, mostly for this project: The Perils of Sir Reginald, Bart.
Actually, Twine is pretty deeply entangled with this A to Z, as I thought up The Lighthouse while making a Twine game. That game got shelved, but I hope to finish it someday.
Thanks for asking that!
I never cease to be amazed at your creative mind.
