Its a question Im wondering about cause...Im looking up CYOAs and they look interesting, but I already got like 5 quests going and I wanna look at something that may let me be more casual about it, throwing up whole non-voting chapters when I feel inspiration, but also occasionally putting up serious votes (like important decision junctures and which CYOA to chain to next)

Has anyone seen or done anything like this?
 
So you want to have a quest or something like it that you can make posts when you feel inspired?
 
I realize that's pretty much all quests, but like a story that occasionally holds voteslike a quest does. Say i make a main character and starting world and stuff and for I dunno...5 posts, have no voting. Then there's a big decision, or I want to throw them into a CYOA so I throw up a vote for the readers, then the story continues for several more non-votable posts.

Then, what you want is closer to a story than a quest. With occasional directions from the readers.
 
Closest I can think of is a couple of Round Robin and Worldbuilding threads, where while there is a story the op directs, most of the thread is bouncing ideas around for what should happen next, with more fluff than crunch.

Not sure if what you're after has a consistent name, tbh.
