Experimenting with Story Structure

[MischiefMystic]

I'm pretty new so I don't know if this kind of thing has been done before, but I'd like to create a story that has a basic framework laid out or provides more structure/direction for different possible story branches. So the introduction would be fully written and a set of options would be listed (you'd still be able to add more as well). For each branch/option there would be an outline of some sort or a specific "mission" that the writer would need to address in that chapter. For example:

What is his profession?
Doctor
Teacher
Cop
Casting Agent
+ Add a new chapter

Since (I don't think) you can edit other peoples' chapters, only add new ones, I would include the "challenge" or prompts within each chapter. So clicking on Branch 1 (Doctor) would only contain a little bit of text. And then you would use that to create the next chapter. Does that make sense?
So like this:

Introduction
Chapter - Doctor prompt/challenge
+ New Chapter - Your Doctor response
Chapter - Teacher prompt/challenge
+ New Chapter - Your Teacher response etc.

I'm not even sure if there would be any interest in this kind of story but I think it could be fun to make it more game-like. But it's not really how it's "supposed" to be done so I wanted to get some feedback before attempting it.

Firstly, you can edit a post from other writers if you're the owner of the story, so no need to worry over that. Secondly, there are a few stories out there that are in this vein of mechanic, so don't feel out of place by including your own version.

Thanks! Though I'm first to admit it's a shameless crib from @SwampThing 's "Slut World", the first adaptation of the "Powered By The Apocalypse" rules for erotic CYOA.
