One of my main issues with interactive stories is the "Other" or "Something Else" option. Authors add it so people aren't too constrained by the possibilities the author thought up. Maybe they don't want to go to the mall, OR the library, they want to go somewhere else. Fine, I can accept that.

But all too often there's a veritable list of possibilities. You click on Other and find they propose your friend's house, and the only other choice is another "Other". Do that four or five times and it starts to get frustrating - especially when none of the choices are actually written out except the Other selections, which only open more possibilities. At some point, just stop opening choices and DO SOMETHING!
