I've never used them and wouldn't know where to start if they didn't scare the crap out of me :/

I'd just finished reading something on Literotica and decided to check out the links page. CHYOA was there and I thought it sounded cool. Now I spend far more time here than there. I'd love a way to exclude stories with certain tags/topics. I respect the fact lots of folks are into stuff I'm...

The search here works for me the vast majority of the time. I'll admit I've used a Google search on occasion though. I know a lot more about the search options I have there to drill down into results. CHYOA's search isn't perfect but it's a decent basic engine.

I think it depends on style and the type of story. In a tale heavy on presenting choices to a reader for example, it should probably depend on what happened as a result of the last choice and how much description it takes to set up the next one. I tend to settle in at about 750-1,500 words per...

I think a lot of folks 'self insert' to one degree or another. I don't think that's a problem at all so long as all the rules are followed. I would be careful how much I shared though. The internet never forgets. Happy writing, whatever you decide to do :)

It did for me in the beginning but I got used to it after a while. I just had to remind myself that the bookmarks and favorites were better than a like. It let me know someone was interested enough the story to want a notification it was updated. That meant folks enjoyed reading it and wanted...

Toward the end of my last burst of writing, I did a lot of 'forcing' chapters because I wanted to add to stuff for readers and it burned me out something fierce. Sadly it's left me in a position where I dread picking anything back up because it left such a bad taste in my mouth. The feeling...

I'm glad for this policy. I'm sure it exists at least partially for legal reasons but I think it's a good one ethically too. That's good to know. Makes me doubly happy I prefer to stick to imaginary characters :)

I don't find it either. That one just looks so fake to me, that it took me a minute to register what they were trying to do there. That said, I normally move on the moment I see a photoshop in a story. Something about the 'good' ones just rubs me the wrong way.

Yeah. I personally wouldn't be comfortable using a celebrity of any type in a story here (male or female). I've read too many real life stalker stories that having a real person attached to the story ends up creeping me out. I've started a reading a few where the premise sounded interesting, but...

On the first point, I do think more of the big budget stuff tends to still have more male main characters than female ones. It's shifted a lot in the least decade though, so I'm hopeful it'll catch up. Keep in mind, this is all colored by what media I consume so my pov here is pretty biased. I...

That's interesting. I write either 3rd person or fempov primarily because that's what is natural for me to write for obvious reasons. I do tend to read fempov stories first but I don't skip the dudepov just because of that. Maybe it's because so much of our entertainment is from a male pov that...

Interesting question. I kinda break genres/kinks here into three categories. There's the stuff I like/am into, stuff I'm so-so about and stuff I don't like/am not into. The first group I'm always happy to read and I look for them specifically when I'm in the mood for a sexy story. Usually I'll...

I have ideas but time is the thing. I figured I'd actively make some time if there was a lot of interest, but not many seemed too into it. I do plan to get back to it when life slows down some, I hate leaving something sit so incomplete. I just am not sure when that will be :)

Yeah. For the curious, I just decided to let this one sit for now. I do have ideas for it, I'm just busy in RL. I planned to make time once or twice a week to add to it but the view count on the last chapter was below what I got for the character list. So I kinda figure reader interest isn't...
