"D-don't... cum! I'm trying... to stay... a virgin until... marriaaage-ohh-godd-yesss!"

You could try writing a natural ending. It's a bit hard to go "and then the fire nation attacked!" if you've just finished writing a happily-ever-after. It doesn't even have to be long, just a few hundred words. (It's also good practice, because writing endings is hard.)

Makes sense, the same way you need to have sex 25 times or give your partner(s) 30 orgasms to no longer be considered a virgin in the real world.

Technically true, but I think this misses the forest for the trees. Surely the "people love this story" upward pressure more than cancels out the "people read this story twice" downward pressure?

Every time you publish a chapter on CHYOA, your story goes to the top of the new stories list, and that's where you'll get a large fraction of your views. My current main story publishes one chapter of about 1500 words every other day, and on days where I publish I get 30-60% more views than on...

Right to jail!

100% serious: mediocrity on an upwards curve is something we should all aspire to.

Oh, that's still in progress? I thought it was finished already. All good then, carry on. :P

Yes, looks waaay better! Reasonable whitespace, dash of colour, unread thread indicator is back, text size is good. I'm happy.

View counts have been frozen between 14:00 and 18:00 UTC (inclusive) for the past 3 days.

...I don't like it. There's soooo much whitespace I'm wearing out my scroll wheel: The entire front page went from 2 screenfulls to 4. Profile posts are 3/4 of the way down the page, where previously it was already partially visible on page load (for me on my screen, mileage may vary). Latest...
