interactive story (?)

I've been thinking about coming out with an interactive story—yes, erotic—but I've just got one problem... I have no idea how to make one!

I can get a beginning-to-end story finished just fine (my program of choice for that is FocusWriter), and while I enjoy writing a "sit back and read" kind of story, an interactive story is something I've been interested in for a long time. To be clear, not one of those text adventures where you type in your command (e.g. "go north" or "fuck the raccoon") but a format where the answers are already given and you just click it.

I think one of those branching stories would be manageable. I've actually got most the plot and options already written, but I'm just not good at coding. Also, if I wanted to upload it to InkBunny it would need to be a SWF file. I'm not an artist so the first version I wouldn't even upload with art. Just sexy, sexy text.

If anyone knows any program that would fit what I'm looking for please help!

Otherwise, I've got a few more stories to pump out in the meantime. A couple more TaS's, a couple more one-offs. By the way, if anyone cares, Iya is pronounced "EE-yah" and Gell has a hard G and rhymes with "Bell."

Basically you make a hyper link to another line with in the same document.

Like this. It's an older one but fun to do I've kept it around.

True, that's one way to do it, where all the text is on one PDF and clicking leads you to another page of the file.

I know I might be reaching here, especially since I know next to zero coding, but a program where your choices pop up and you click on them, advancing the story down certain branches would be optimal... But if that doesn't work then a PDF could always do the trick.

Yeah I don't really know any programming either. I mean could do it with a website easily then doing an app.

Or looks like there is a thing called twine could use to learn base of coding the flow of a story depends what your able to pick up.
