Do you folks have someone that DMs you only when they want you to read their stories?

    Fun fact, the name very crudely translates to cunt peeper

    But! It is also a play on a popular german children story thats about a bandit called Hotzenplotz

    Lol. I can add myself to that list too, Nothing against them and it is flattering in a way. But it is a bit odd.
    Bimbo scene specifically is what was requested

    I was asked to write a bit for a story about a guy transforming into his son's girlfriend... and I did... It is I think technically the earliest published thing I wrote on here.

    I just checked, yes.

    Though I have no evidence for it, I believe he used to go by a different username too. Transformaster, which, at the time of writing, has seemingly gone inactive with all of his stories gone and given to Fotzenglotz.

    These dudes have been messaging me aswell through the years. It’s fine for me, I ask others for input aswell but if they ignore me I definitely get the message lol. Besides, transformation stories are far away from the stories I normally write.

    Add me into the list too.

    Got the message from this guy.
    I've had a brief chat with them, gave them a couple of ideas to work with, but damned if they weren't persistent in trying to get me to write dialogue for them.

    Just double checked. While we were talking, they were basically live updating their published chapter. Now I want to see if that thread takes off, or never goes any further.

    My gut says that we should report this account to Friedman.

    Managed to snag screenshots of the convo on CHYOA chat, as well as the transcript of our convo.

    Just in case.

    Yeah. He usually just says "Hello. Have you read any of my stories?" and that's it XD

    This just happened to me, from the same person as everyone else has experienced, and it's the second time it's occurred.

    I had a message from them less than a minute after I published a story chapter, so I can't help but feel that this is being spammed somehow.

    It's a right of passage for all CHYOA writers. Congratulations! You've made it to the big time. :p

    I've been Hotzenplotzed twice, first during my first active stint at CHYOA, and again after returning after my hiatus.

    If nothing else they're a persistent and efficient little bugger... Almost have to respect it.
     
  16. Wow, I thought it was just me who'd been messaged by that guy. Same questions too. I just stopped talking and I think he got the message. Shame because DMs always make me happy too.

    Dude probably uses the same tactics as the guys who send dickpics. Spam them to everyone you can, in the hopes that some people appreciate it. Nevermind that you have now upset 99,5% of the people you interact with.

    I suspect most people who send dickpics do not care about getting responses at all. It's just plain old exhibitionism, some way for them to force themselves on people. (Exhibitionism isn't always a way to force yourself on people, but in this case it is.)

    I got messaged by him a few times when I used to be fairly active. Just ignored him when I saw what he was about.

    Honestly, I probably wouldn’t mind getting DMed if it was something I was interested in. It would be like my own personal recommendation algorithm :D
