Something that's been on my mind for a while, and I'm not sure this is absolutely necessary, just a convenience sort of thing to satisfy my OCD, but when you click on an answer to the question to advance to the next part of the story at the bottom of every page, maybe it should be called a Node instead of a Chapter? In literary terms, it just feels like the word Chapter should be reserved for a larger chunk than is typical for each iteration of a given story. I myself have made a habit of posting a chapter number and title at the top of each new upload entry, but I have also found myself trying to explain my stories to people, and finding the nomenclature of chapter versus Chapter to be a bit confusing in conversation. Thoughts? Is this change more trouble than its worth after it's been this way for years, or am I on to something that could be helpful to others without my OCD?
I agree that the standard definition of "chapter" does not quite fit with how it's used on CHYOA by most stories. But "node" is a very generic word with little actual meaning, like "unit", "item" or "object". I have no idea what any of those words mean without context. Whereas "chapter" at least means "part of a story".
Well, I am open to alternatives, the exact word chosen isn't as important as simply finding a word other than Chapter to avoid confusion. A node can be a connecting point, or a branching point, which is why I thought it would be appropriate, but I only spent a short amount of time with the thesaurus before making this suggestion. The second and to a lesser extent third definitions are the ones I was looking at.
