One other advantage to first or second person is realized when one is writing a same-gender sex scene; it avoids pronoun ambiguity. When writing a lesbian scene in third person, they're both "she" so the only way one can be totally clear on who's who is to use names every time, and that can...

The Vixen's story has been brought to a conclusion! There will be an epilogue, just as there was for Katyana's thread. I will continue either Alayna's or Arethousa's thread next, I think.

One of the more lively discussions I've had on this board was about the use of illustrations. They can definitely be a crutch for substandard writing, but I think they can also be an enhancement. Most of us (myself included) don't have the resources to be able to shoot our own photos, and...

For me, the easiest part of a story to write is the dialogue; I find I can easily imagine the characters conversing in my head, and I just transcribe it. The hardest part is quick action, especially when there are many people involved; something like a brawl in a nightclub is VERY difficult...

I think that not only a degree of buildup but also a narrative describing the aftermath is critical to making an enjoyable story. The reason is that if it's all about sex, it's essentially sex with cardboard cutouts. We need to know a little something about who these characters are if we're...

Three more chapters in the "Vixen" thread! I've also responded to an old request and added a "cast list" to the images in the MEET THE CHARACTERS thread, for those who want to know the real names (or most common stage names) of the models I've chosen to portray the female characters in the...

If an author is serious about copyrighting a work, they need to take certain steps to protect themselves. The work should have a copyright notice; I've never seen a story on CHYOA that did. That's not a requirement, but it does preclude someone "accidentally" violating copyright. One should...

First of all, I'm always a fan or more woman-on-woman sex, so anything that puts more of that out there gets extra points from me. The idea of an AU where everyone is female is intriguing, and re-interpretations of popular CHYOA stories isn't a bad idea; but, you'll DEFINITELY want to ask...

When it comes to writing, the degree of violence is all about the depth of description. A single person taking a punch to the face can be more visceral than an entire city being vaporized by a nuclear bomb, depending on the amount of detail one goes into. Probably the most descriptively...

I did not know that! Then, she's perfect for the role. :)

I usually respond to comments via PM; I feel that the comment section of my story should have posts only from readers, not from me. But that's just my own opinion.

After a brief hiatus to stir some creative juices, I'm continuing the Vixen's story. I hope to bring it to a conclusion within the next two weeks, after probably about ten more chapters. I've also added Jua's picture to the list of characters (Bwana M'Kubwa's granddaughter, portrayed by Skin...

Hey everyone, Just a little commentary... I have a particular story on CHYOA (It's Good to be the King), which I kicked off about six months ago and have grown into a story with 126 chapters and one thread which goes 42 deep and comes to a conclusion. I intended it from the beginning to be a...

In a word, badly. I spend more time doing this than I probably should.

I concur... that's why I abandoned it. The story just wasn't working out the way I'd originally wanted it to. (I used to be "gystex" but had to create a new account due to password problems)

The only things I can think of are really very much a matter of common sense. Don't submit "chapters" which are only one or two sentences. Don't go way off the plot. If it's a story about a girls boarding school, it's not appropriate to write a chapter about a UFO landing and the subsequent...

What’s your host? I use ImageFap, and I found that sometimes when I immediately uploaded a pic to ImageFap and then posted it into a story, the picture would not show up consistently for the first day or so. After that, the problem seemed to sort itself out, and it actually hasn’t happened for...

Throwing this one out there as an idea I came up with but don’t feel like writing... Our protagonist is a man in his mid to late twenties. One day his rich uncle dies and leaves him eighty million dollars in liquid assets. Our hero has no other close family, he’s an unattached bachelor, and...

Katyana's thread has been brought to its conclusion, the first thread to do so! Of course, since this is CHYOA, that doesn't mean the story is over; just that this one part of it is. (And, I do plan to write an epilogue as well.)
