Scratch

OK, so I was thinking about making this book saga I've been working on into a game, and I want to know what you think. The game is going to tell the story of Jen and her friends, but I'm not really sure if I want you to play some one I made or if I want you to like interact with them, because if I do the first one, you will see the story out of that person's eyes but it wont be as personal for the player... any comments?
