    Hello. I know this site offers mainly interactive stories. I was wondering, is there a minimum amount of interaction that is needed for a story to be approved? I was planning on writing some what if scenarios for scenes in a popular franchise. Really, the stories only interaction I've set up is the ability to choose which scene the reader wishes to view. But I wasn't planning on having much interaction in the stories themselves. Is this acceptable, or would I need to add more choices/chapter depth to get approved?

    You can have as much or as little as you want. There are a number of stories which are basically linear with few if any choices at all.

    You do need to have at least 250 words of actual content, as per rule 6. Describing the characters or setting of a story, or listing options (especially different franchises), don't count towards this 250. This word count may be divided between several chapters, and does not necessarily need to start in the Introduction chapter.
