Basically, it's an interactive fiction with some RPG elements thrown in. Here's an example of how to do:
OP: You reach a crossroads!
[] Go left.
[] Go right.
[] *Write in.*
^ These indicate boxes. You vote by copy-pasting the answer you want, putting an x in the box, and replying to the thread. *Write in.* indicates that you can submit your own custom choice. You can change your vote as often as you want until the OP starts tallying them. Please don't spam or derail the thread, as it makes it more difficult to tally the votes, though you are allowed to debate choices with others on this thread.
You: [x] Go left.
or
You: [x] Look for a signpost.
So... Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it. So without further ado, I present to you...!

Personal Note: For future choices when it requires a lot of description, I recommend that you give out a variety of choices as to what you're doing to most of the items instead of letting us do the write up. Good luck with this!

Sorry for the lateness. Onward!
You are Garth Nerric, a strapping young lad at the age of 16. You are of average height, but your toned build and lack of fat gives you a lean appearance. You have Green eyes and Black hair of average length. How will fate treat you? Let's find out!
Awakening
You wake up. Sort of. You're in that groggy state where it can go either way. It feels kinda chilly. You keep your eyes closed because you're still considering whether or not you want to go to sleep.
[] *Pfft.* Chill, smill; Roll over and go back to sleep.
[] Use one hand to search for the blanket.
[] Just lay there until you go back to sleep.
[] Since you're already half-awake you might as well go all the way. (Wake up.)

Apparently so.
Don't worry about it. Things like these tend to start slow.

I'd rather be cozy as I sleep.

Look for Blankie
[x] Use one hand to search for the blanket.
You sleepily grope around for the blanket, to no avail. You do, however, find a small hard object. Well, it's better than nothing. You cradle the object against yourself and shift yourself into a more comfortable position before returning to your slumber.
Time passes. You slowly extricate yourself from the shallow mud-puddle that is your unconscious. The first sense that comes online is, obviously your sense of touch, which tells you that your body is quite chilled. You were sleeping on what you assume to be a stone floor/ground. From the sound of your breathing, the room you're in seems quite spacious... You open your eyes and sit up. The first thing you do is inspect the thing you were cuddling in your sleep. You look down and lock sockets with a grinning skull. "Gah!" In surprise, you throw it away from yourself. It bounces off the stone wall and falls down into a- hmm, it appears that you were sleeping on a ledge.
After calming down a bit, you give your surroundings a closer look. You find that you are stuck in some sort of rectangular shaft. The opposite wall seems to be about 5-6 feet away. The ledge you're on covers up half of the hole. Looking up, you see another ledge similarly covering the opposite side above you. It's placed quite high up, but you may be able to reach it if you jump. A faint light filters down from above. Looking down, you see nothing but pitch black, however, you feel a breath of warm air brush past you, so there may be something down below. Littered around you are the scattered remains of some poor unfortunate soul, whose skull you accidentally misplaced.
[] Jump down.
[] Climb up.
