Thanks for all the feedback! This story really is more for me than anything. The range of subjects right away makes is unlikely to appeal to any one niche. I was more curious about the right way to structure it in general. It seems like kind of doing both is the right approach. Keep the depth to...

Yeah, I'm really not sure what this is to be honest. I didn't plan for any particular kinks or niche but I'm realizing now as I've started to get this stuff out of head that most extreme bits come out first, which makes sense, and it can be a bit jarring. If I wanted to switch to doing the...

You just need depth first search and keep a list of visited nodes and if you hit a cycle return infinity for the shortest path in that direction. I think the entire confusion here was the idea that you need to compute longest path at all, which you are correct isn't tractable in this case...

So this reminded of my college days writing cute little graph algorithms that never did anything. So here's a POC in python for this. Give it your username/password (you can't view the story map without logging in) the story map url and your current chapter url and it'll give the deepest end...

Right yeah, that's what I was trying to express with my extended metaphor. As a sex site there are different standards than a sci-fi site.

So, my solution is for the case of graphs with loops. That's why I included the doing the shortest path to every leaf node, then taking the max, you're getting the "longest shortest path". Longest path is indeed not defined in graphs with cycles, whereas a shortest path always is.

This story almost seems like an exercise in writing purple prose for smut. Like writing 100 bloody violent scenes of Conan chopping enemies to bits and reveling in the blood and gore, cracking open their skulls and scooping out their brains and snapping a femur and sucking the bone merrow. It's...

So I think this is what you'd want to compute https://hackernoon.com/shortest-and-longest-path-algorithms-job-interview-cheatsheet-2adc8e18869 (what is relevant from here is the shortest simple path, meaning path with no loops in a graph that can have loops) from each node to each reachable...

I understand and agree with the flat, no-compromise standard here. I feel obliged to point out the irony though, it's exactly where you draw the line that the taboo exists. Like everyone wants those taboo roleplay productions where they don't say step, you're literally in a another class if you...

I think that's key right there, the reader needs to be able to project themself onto the character especially in second person. It's why I prefer POV porn I think, I literally just want a floating dick I can project myself onto. I don't want to really hear to see the guy at all.

So honest question but it's probably so simple it's going to come off as a plug anyways. I have a story I'm working on, each chapter is more or less independent, but they all share a common theme. I've started it as all one branch, I'm wondering if it would be better to do it breadth first...
