Please don't see it as a criticism, it was more of a hot take. I enjoyed the branch overall, although I still to intend to try and bring my version to a conclusion (along with years of other unfinished storylines) at some point.

Feels like a choose your own adventure.

So, how are unchanged people picking up on the changes?

Curious if we'll visit the Meshidas story.

I think the names at this point are getting a bit confusing.

Gives me an idea for something I was pondering for the 122 variation.

I'm curious about the two dogs and how they are doing.

Welcome back, missed this

Wasn't that the name of the doctor in Dark City?

I second missing your contributions. Hope life allows.

This appears to be my branch, https://www.cyoc.net/interactives/chapter_212264.html, from another site. Is there a particular reason you are reposting it without attribution? Would you mind removing it and not copying my content in future?

Thanks for adding. You're #1

I hope this isn't an Alive situation...

I'm eager to see about the main continuity. I've been paralleling it.

If you ever want to talk,. I'm in the Discord.

Glad to see you back.

Yes, but sometimes they like to hang around Hot Topic at the mall...what corporate sellouts.

Best branch ever.

I find upvotes motivate me to continue because I know people made an effort, but if you look at my work, I keep going regardless sometimes. I'd rather have some thoughtful comments

If I continue, we'll see Rebecca again. But my sentiments exactly. I want Karyn to remain unpredictable.

It was 11 years ago. Do you have any suggestions? I could always be convinced for a reboot.

This gives me an idea for my version of this... love the chat feed.

I figured he's himself.. but living the life he'd have lived if born instead of Karyn...and as a girl,. but I left it open for other interpretations. I figured in this version girl Jon..as yet unnamed(but not Karyn...too confusing) just didn't choose a path that led to being in the bedroom with male Karyn)

I'm sure she's not the only licensed driver...besides she might not have gotten a license and makes Biff pick her up.

I did that in my fork..but Zoe is being repurposed as an upgraded Zoe...in yours she could be elsewhere.

Sarah is definitely going to be driven crazy by her.

Well, the director is also an AI, I'd imagine.

The irony...I was writing an alternate branch before I read this, and I was going to put in a line saying, "One of the programmers wanted to make you Australian."

I just wonder what everyone will be thinking as the days progress....after all...they are becoming new selves.

I commented in the Discord yesterday that I was wondering if I'm qualified to write a scene where two women who used to be friends who have suddenly swapped reproductive systems with their husbands rekindle their friendship.

Sometimes, I like to write Biff and Sarah as a couple who has had several public breakups during the course of the year.

I sort of liked the idea of Zoe being a socialite.

Wonder what happens to the real McMillans.

Whatever happened to Biff's parents?

I have more to come.

Your Andrews are very different from mine.

I actually was working on a branch where it worked and it didn't, you beat me to that.

I'm just bringing back all the characters...

Steve seems even a worse womanizer than ever here

Well, he's a travelling salesman... and Linda is an ambitious career woman... maybe he left one wife for another

Well, think of it on a timeline level. Jon left the house, and it is established it was after school when he left, and he was gone for at least an hour. Let's assume Stacy went into the house right after Jon declined to play with her. Not that much time has passed, so assume we still have time till Jon returns. In the other branch, I had him come back immediately, but that contradicts the idea he just left.

I'm trying to decide if I should revisit Steve...in my branch, the last we saw him, he was saying he had nothing to say and didn't want to talk.

I couldn't think of a better thing to call it. But I tried to make mine distinctive.

Why does she keep missing?

Suspense...

No problem with your way... just while I keep using inspiration from your branch, I think we'll continue to diverge.

I think I'm going in a somewhat different direction than you are.

Glad to have you back.

Do kids like hot tubs? I don't know anyone with a hot tub and kids to ask.

Didn't even consider introducing another dog situation. Curious where it will go.

I know that....I just said that is where my mind went.

I love fleshing out side characters

I figured it wasn't.

Why, when someone in a story smiles and says, "Do you know your moms maiden name?" I think identity theft...she isn't going to open up a credit card in Jon's name is she?

Lots of people being surprised today. Wonder who.

I pivoted a bit based on your version.

Also, this isn't important, but wanted to ask...what country does this take place in? I saw the pound symbol earlier for paying for the magazine, just wondering. The town has been in various different imagined places.

Wasn't it Ruby Fletcher earlier?

Sadly? Is she realizing why?

Is he muttering in a French accent?

Interesting contrast...in my version, he just sort of drops into breakfast and the rest of the day is questionable...in your version, Lucy does it intentionally.

I may use some of your description as I had a few scenes before arriving at a similar scene.

This is Miss Fine unaffected by a wish...In other branches, a wish made her something else.

That's similar to my original version, where it is Jon who is the breakout star, the actresses playing Sarah and Zoe are the nice ones, Shannon is a prima dona who thought she was supposed to be the star...and if they do end up in rewrites...what does that do to Jon's original life? If he gets back to it?

Might inspire me to add to one of the other branches. Bringing back old ideas.

I want to know...what was the plot of the episode that required this? Episode 1, where the main character wishes themselves into a girl and that's the series? If it is more than 1 episode, there's the issue of the opening credits...especially if its an old school opener. Also, this is more curious...do people use the word Starlet?

Still hoping you'll come back to it.

I very carefully set my breakpoints to allow for multiple directions.

I remember RS232, and PS/2 mice and keyboards very well. I just figured I wouldn't change that. I'll go for the 2002 option.

I wasn't either.... I saw it as equivalent to what Lydia was wearing.

What are Mikey and Karyn up to I wonder.

I predicted this all wrong... I thought his reaction was because he was feeling what would be felt if an adult hit on a teenage girl....

I updated the newspaper story in this branch to the headline that did appear in April of 2020.

Well, I figured it was a good compromise between the two. So, if you were literally acting, and playing older, you might make your hair look white. In movies, they might use prosthetics. So, this is magical acting. So, Linda isn't going to become a carbon copy of Leonard...but she has to look the role. Zoe has probably changed the least, because she's able to pull off the role, with her outfit, of a more mature woman. Although I'd imagine she will be able to avoid killing any of her patients.

He's overwhelmed.

To be honest, I've never met a pimp in person. We established that Deshan has a temper...in one branch I described him as almost sweet at times...although that was from the perspective of someone who may have had an abusive relationship with him. So, I was picturing him as good to his people unless they do something stupid or someone crosses him, then he'd have no mercy. So, paying the fine to him is just the cost of business unless he thinks they messed up. So, why would someone like that dress in that way...based on his previous descriptions...he's taunting the police.

Congratulations #1 from a significantly trailing #2.

She's one of those people who isn't comfortable going to the bathroom in other people's houses?

Not necessarily no McMillans...they just don't live in that house. As for Jon...he's commenting on the fact he's figured out he doesn't know how to stop these guys from doing their work...but he didn't actually try to get Sarah to remember being Sarah McMillan...to snap her out of it.

This one said it is female? https://www.peanut-app.io/blog/korean-baby-girl-names I admit, my Korean is nonexistent.

Well, I did some googling, not exactly extensive research. It depends on how sophisticated your thief is. Athena isn't....she just knows enough to get to it before it locks. They'll turn off mobile and wifi so you can't find it or wipe it. Sometimes they'll put it in a signal blocking pouch if they can't yet turn it off. It is easy enough to force it to wipe and then repurpose it. But if there is someone more savvy, they can do other things...not everyone protects their phone well.

I have it in my phone as a preset for Google Maps navigation.

This is good...not what I was planning, which I might still do...but I'm curious where you will go.

Linda is a single mother in some branches and married in others...hard to keep track.

As for asking...many people also have their address in their phone or the house phone.

If you want to add, feel free. Sometimes there are long gaps between my branches.

Well, the other branches with the character have the two becoming each other. Here, they swapped roles, not identities. And both are about to realize that what feels normal isn't.

You also have to ask..if you swap families with someone..how do their roles change? Example... Susan Madison's family swaps with Linda McMillan's. Susan has a mother, maybe Father, and two siblings. Linda has no siblings. Is Susan Madison suddenly an only child and her parents are Richard and whoever replaced her as Mom? Do the extra kids swap with the help? What if the family you swap for yours has kids of different ages? What if Jon is suddenly the younger sibling...etc etc etc.

For me, I just love looking for the new twist. So, I wrote a few twists to open up options. I figured, I had Tuesday happened again, which means only students were affected...so all kids turned into adults skipped the day. I had Tiffany becomes the girlfriend, because it's the only way to explain them being together with her top off, I had Jon ends up there alone...and the everyone but the girls change...which probably has the most wild options. So, Jon is now Aisha's sister....does that mean she lives at his house with her family or vice versa?

I thought it would be interesting if someone just stayed put and called. And if someone else couldn't change.

To be honest, this is set in the spring, so many people will have had a birthday in the year. But I think we're on the same page.

It depends if you are going from starting to ending age. Elementary here is Grades K-5, Middle 6-8, High School 9-12. So, a 12 year old in the Spring, which is supposed to be, would be 11 at the start of the year. I asked a friend of mine in Florida, and he said Middle School in his area is 5-8. So, it may vary. Someone once set Lake Point near PIttsburgh. I checked. In the suburbs of Pennsylvania, it is also 6-8.

Haven't I been punished enough?

Oops, that's my fault.

I said 'Ms. Wright' in the last branch. Can change it though.

To be honest, more curious to see what happens.

In the prior branch, it says TSA queues

Also, hate to nitpick, but CBP, not TSA.

I wonder if this happens in other countries too.

I did consider she's clever enough, so probably ADD/ADHD

That's a good point. We should use that. I never thought she had dyslexia.
