Talaitha, the beautiful Romani fortune teller, now speaks her prophecies about all ten maids whom the Spirits name.

I made the change. I'm still a little fuzzy on what exactly I want to do with that thread, but the wheels are turning...

I'll get back with you. real life is intervening...

Should she appear to have enjoyed the sex, or was it largely non-consensual? If it's the former, I may have a few pics which could work. If it's the latter, then I'm afraid I wouldn't have anything in my personal collection (to each their own, but I'm not into NC).

I'm thinking that I need to go make a change in an already-published chapter, and I'm wondering if readers would find that offputting. Specifically, I'm talking about my story "It's Good to Be the King." One of the characters is a self-described "Warrior Queen," and I have a chapter wherein...

I'll generally throw in a moan or other noise here and there, but not excessively. The occasional "Mmm," or "Ohh," or "Ahh!" can help convey the experience, but it needs to be applied with restraint or it just gets silly. Something like "Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." is just overkill, and I...

Frequently, when I'm reading/writing on CHYOA, I'm literally masturbating. I don't need to figuratively masturbate by "liking" my own chapters. I value the "Likes" and "Favorites" that I receive because they tell me that other people are enjoying my stories. I don't need to tell myself that...

I've finally found my model for the "Maid of Silk"! It was much harder than I thought it would be to locate suitable picture sets of a Japanese woman in traditional dress (and, of course, undress). Many of the ones I found which looked promising didn't work because they were also in...

In the actual story I’m writing, I think that maybe something along the lines of “Trust your comrade” will work. If this were a regular, linear story, I’d want the plan to be the brainchild of the protagonist himself; but there is another character in my story who could conceivably come up with...

I've come across an odd problem which seems to be inherent to the CHYOA format. I'm not sure what, if anything, could be done about it. The problem is one which I have come to think of as "micro-spoilers". There are essentially two kinds of plot drivers: those which happen TO the protagonist...

Katyana's thread continues... I have figured now how I am going to end it, after perhaps ten more installments. Of course, this is CHYOA, and it would therefore be only one of many possible endings...

Whoo-hoo! 300 Favorites and 1000 Likes! Thank you, all readers! I've made more updates than I care to enumerate since the last time I posted in this thread, the most significant being the introduction of Katyana, daughter of Lord Velimir Reznik (her thread picks up here, but to read it from...

What does it take to have a "notable story"? Is it something that gets decided by an actual person, or a combination of factors like longevity, "like" votes, and other things? I ask because one of my stories made the list (Yay!), and I want to know if there's someone in particular I should thank!

I'm afraid I can sometimes be guilty of that. Most of my choices which actually lead to different threads are in the first four chapters... after that, I tend to go linear. I will often place my chapter breaks not necessarily at places where the protagonist has a clear choice to make, but...

I tend to write longer-than-usual chapters, from what I can tell by comparing mine to others. My usual chapter length seems to be right around a thousand words, or three pages on MS Word with default settings. However, sometimes I'll have a "bullet chapter" where I want an option to come up...

Yes - but I speak of the first RECORDED stories, committed to some medium besides memory.

Well, here we'll have to agree to disagree. Illustrations have been part of the writer's toolbox since moment one - actually, since the first recorded stories were told ONLY with illustrations, one could say that they were part of the toolbox before moment one. I find that illustrations, if...

I find the easiest and most rewarding part of the story to write is the dialogue. For that, of course, one really can't rely on pictures - but during sex, there generally ISN'T a lot of dialogue, and what there is tends to be somewhat cliche and repetitive. The action is likewise cliche and...

There have been a few times when I submitted ending chapters to someone else's story. I've only ever done it on stories to which I had submitted many other chapters, and in each case I felt the ending was warranted (they were all accepted, so the editors must have been OK with it). These were...

I've noticed that accessing CHYOA on my iPhone usually results in a second tab opening with a porn ad (usually, it's pornstar Dillon Harper taking a survey on what kind of tits I like). But the tab pops under, not over, the CHYOA page; and, it's easily closed. I suggest you try updating your...
