Classic "man with two wrist watches" problem. :P

Hmm. I see where you're coming from, but I don't like it. It takes away choice. Right now, if you left click, you open in this tab, and if you middle click (which, like you, I do often) it opens in a new tab. But with target="_blank", we no longer have a choice whether to open a link in this or...

A lot of the issues you identify, aren't. Supporting plain, straightforward, externally-hosted video is easier than ever thanks to the <video> element. Support for video formats, pixel formats, resolutions, audio formats, and containers varies from browser to browser, but there's a broad...

So "here's a free story and a link to where you can pay to get more" is allowed only if the paid content will eventually find its way to CHYOA for free? You say "supposed to eventually be available for free" (emphasis mine), so I doubt I'm telling you anything new if I say the distinction...

But how is that different to a link to Patreon? I'm not trying to rules-lawyer you, I'm just trying to understand. Say that Patreon and OnlyFans both die tomorrow, and new sites pop up to replace them. What determines whether a site is OnlyFans-like or Patreon-like? Because as far as I know...

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to generalize this. What aspect of "OF or similar" makes it disallowed?

This immediately came to mind while reading your post: https://chyoa.com/story/The-Sophistry-Generator.42034

This happens to me all the time. No matter how good an idea for a story sounds in your head, you won't know if it's a banger until you're actually writing it. The best thing you can do is try to figure it out as early as possible, and not get too attached too soon. (And the same goes for...

This is also my preference. The method by which the control is achieved matters a lot less to me than the degree. There has to be a process. Fictional mind control works for me when it posits that the power is finite, that you can't simply make someone do everything. When the controller has to...

It was... OK? Finished one shortish story that I'm decently happy with. Got 300 hours into a second but I ran out of writing time the last few months, so I had to abandon the effort about halfway through. I learned a valuable lesson though: I shouldn't write branching stories. I like going for...

Merry Christmas everyone. <3

I'm not a mod. Nevertheless... My impression is that you're planning to write a lesbian story that features some incest, not an incest story with some lesbian content, so I'd put it into the lesbian category. I would advise against making your story so broad that it can fit in any category...

It's also worth mentioning that stories are generally not about ordinary events or feature average people. You don't write about some 9-to-5 worker's dime-a-dozen week. You write about that one month when they got hypnotized into not-giving-a-fuck-mode, when they met the woman of their dreams...

A popular aphorism is that it takes 10,000 hours of concentrated practice to master a skill. If you make 40 hour weeks, that's roughly 5 years of work. In 5 years' time, you can become an expert in something. ----- When I write a longer story, I tend to make timelines. Day 1, Thursday, story...

Comics are more like pictures than they are like prose, imo, so I agree. The point of pictures and comics is that you can look at them, so there's very little need for descriptions: the words (mostly dialogue) connect the pictures, the pictures don't connect the words. I phrased my previous...
