Margaret's Clock is a 64-page gen Beauty and the Beast novel by Beth Druhan, edited by Shannon O'Connor.
The story lets you choose between forks in the narrative at several points, picking how the story will go, and centering around a proposed gift for Father: a clock Margaret once owned which has been sold at an auction. There are seven choices and six endings.
End note by the authors: "A note to the curious: Our cover was achieved through image scanning, a PC paint program, a photocopier, a black pen, and much angst. (Don't ask.)"
Similar fanworks are the zines Choices: The Devil His Due (Quantum Leap) and Choices: Castle Ruideg (Garrison's Gorrillas).
Here’s How It Works
As you read Margaret’s Clock, remember that YOU will make the choices for Vincent and Catherine. Begin on page 1 and continue until given a choice; there you will be presented with the following choice:If you think Catherine should give up the search, turn to page 35.
If you think Catherine should keep trying to find the clock, turn to page 10.
Make your decision and follow the story as it develops. Here’s a hint: There are 7 places where you must make a choice, along with 6 different endings to the tale – and YOU WON’T LIKE THEM ALL! Remember that you can always go back and take a different path. And please – if you enjoyed this story format and would like to read more You-Choose-the-Path adventures, please write to Beth and Shannon and let us know. We’d love to hear from you. Enjoy! [1]
