If they're no longer active, but still have an account, I wouldn't mess with their chapters. But if they've deleted their account, then I'd say yes, go ahead.

You're entitled to your opinion, as am I. I'll leave this chat now so it doesn't get further off topic.

The unofficial chyoa greeter? I appear to have been denied that pleasure!

Same here. I've never had a shitty DM on CHYOA, for the most part it's one off messages asking about my stories, or back and forth chat with long standing friends. Personally, I've got no issue with typos in DMs. So long as I can read the message I don't really care.

Well that's a first, never been accused of trolling before. And no, I most certainly was not trolling. There's a huge difference between receiving a shitty message that is hurling abuse, which is a site mod/Friedman issue, and a full on legal dispute and liability issues. I was genuinely not...

So this chat has got me wondering. I've been playing around with an idea for a story, bouncing a few fact checks and stuff off Chat GPT. I'm going to go ahead and produce a few chapters and see what happens. I'm curious what it will come up with, and if it will be useful. I'm not exactly...

Ok, I've not had enough coffee yet, so this is confusing me. But what could be in a DM that would cause an accusation, legal dispute and security and liability issues? My DMs are normally 'Hey, Friedman, can we have this new weird ass category I thought of' or 'Hey, nice chapter you published...

That's a really good point about male protagonists. I enjoy writing female characters and have a story with a female protagonist, that I think, was my best work. But it didn't do nearly as well as my other stories. You can never be sure why some stories resonate and others don't, so i may be...

I stumbled across CHYOA a while ago now and the UI and design was what kept me here. It was the first place I published and is still my main publishing site. I use AO3 now as well, I've tried others and have yet to find anything actually worth trouble (Lush was okay, but every story gets proof...

If you can edit a DM once it's sent and been read, doesn't that leave it open to abuse? For example, a DM with an abusive message could be sent, read, and then the sender could alter the wording before site admin can deal with it. Just a thought.

AI has become a very useful tool for me. It can't actually write, at least Chat GPT can't, which is the one I use. But used correctly, it's a great tool. I plan the hell out of my stories and it takes me forever to get to the point of actually writing. AI has helped speed that up with simple...

I know what you mean, like seriously, they have their own minds and stuff.

I'm writing my first story in 2nd POV and I'm finding it so hard to not slip back to 3rd or 1st. The editing is a nightmare. I shall preserve though.

Thanks! But there are issues with it right now...my slow burn branch has an orgy in chapter 2. My Milf branch is full of teenagers and my wholesome romance branch is a BDSM kinkfest. I'm kidding, it's not that bad, but I have had to be very careful and rewrite a few chapters and one whole...

How many shades of grey i wonder...
