    Something I would like to see on the front page possibly or as a search option. It is far from perfect but it does say interactive erotica on the front page after all so what about stories by interactivity. This requires some basic math.

    I will use Apex Seed since it is the top story right at the moment.
    It has 225 chapters and 37 threads deep.
    Dived threads 37 by total chapters 225= 0.16
    Convert to the decimal into a percentage and the story has a 16% interactivity rate.
    Meanwhile the story of the week has a 31% interactivity.

    It have to be set to a minimum limit on chapter depth since new stories would be at a higher rate to start then average stories but stories under this category would change constantly putting stories that are just thread after thread at a disadvantage to stories with multiple contributors working together.

    Not sure it would work, but it's an interesting idea.

    You could also measure the average of choices under each chapter. Anything around "2" would be a pretty interactive story.

    Then again, the "linked" chapters could mess up the whole data. Linking chapters normally means more interaction, because you connect threads, but it might not show statistically.

    I think this could be quite complex.
