Maybe this is already a feature and I'm not aware of it, but I don't see it in the guide. Is it possible to terminate a story thread? On the old CHYOO site, one could choose to create an ending - a thread with no further options. That doesn't seem to be an option on CHYOA these days. Perhaps...

I think it's essential to have undesirable outcomes, if you want the good outcomes to be worth achieving. I think it's also important to have shades of gray in those outcomes; not every "bad" ending need be total death and destruction, it could be an ending where you just don't succeed at the...

I think the cover picture should show the most important element in the story. Usually that's the setting; the thing that sets most stories apart from each other is where (and/or when) they happen. For example, the popular story "A Boy at a Girls School" has a picture of a sexy woman in a...

Can anyone point me to a good resource where all this stuff is explained in layman's terms? I'd really like to be able to create playable games and use these kinds of tools, but the terminology is unfamiliar to me. I'd love to be able to read some kind of Beginner's Guide.

I think I may be the only author on CHYOO who ever brought the "Customization" part of such a story all the way to completion. With five variables of four options each, plus one variable with two options, the resulting "story" had a grand total of a little over two thousand possible...

The Isle of Lesbos My first story (I was writing under a different name at the time). The protagonist, a woman, goes to an island resort where she can have sex with other women. What worked: Nothing. I had a setting, but no interesting characters or plot to speak of. I quickly discovered...

Yes, you're quite right. I don't usually do captions so I remembered it wrong.

I like to establish the story at least two chapters deep before publishing, and have ALL the potential "Chapter Twos" written as well - between four and six choices. Essentially, I'm writing several introductions which start the same way but then go in different directions. Then, one of my...

I like to do it like this: > The > at the start of the line centers the picture and adds horizontal lines above and below it. It looks cleaner that way. I don't usually caption my pics, but if that is desired you would put the text [between the brackets] and it shows up...

The thread which starts with Valerie is one that I had the darndest time continuing; I just couldn't figure out where to take the story from that moment. I think that part of the problem is that I envisioned a story arc for pretty much every other female character, but not Valerie; she was...

It's not so much that I want to read it to people (which isn't really practical with a CHYOA format anyway), but that I'd like friends and family to be able to read it - or that I could at least talk to them about the story. But, with an erotic subject matter, the only one I'd even begin to...

I'm faced with a strange problem... not one I'm looking for a solution to, just one that I felt the need to express. I've always enjoyed making up stories and writing; I used to entertain a small circle of friends back in grade school with the Adventures of Alabama Smith, incompetent but wildly...

Two more chapters added to the Vixen's storyline. I'll probably leave that one as it is for a while, and go to work on others.

I was inspired to add considerably more to the Vixen's thread... to read it from the beginning, choose the option to go for your morning ride at the Introduction. If you're familiar with the storyline, pick up where it last left off here.

The "Mary Sue" effect isn't an entirely bad thing here; after all, the protagonist in a 2P story isn't just a self-insert for the writer, but for the reader as well. In fanfiction the Mary Sues are annoying because they overshadow the characters we already know and take over the story, but in a...

Well, there you go, then! I'll give it a try, see if it works better than ImageFap. Thanks much!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but imgur doesn't allow nudes, does it?

This is probably a fairly common topic, but it's also one to which the responses might change from time to time. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good "Photo album" site? I've been using ImageFap, but it's not very reliable; sometimes I have to reload my pages two or three times before...

I grew up with the original "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, the ones which were actually made of paper and you had to turn to a specific page after making a choice. Cave of Time, Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey, Space and Beyond... I ate it up when I was a kid. They were exclusively written in...

In the case of my latest story (It's Good to be the King), the initial idea came from the concept of prima nocta - the law which once existed in parts of England and Europe which said that the Lord had the "right" to sexual relations with any of the women who lived on his lands, whether they...
