I love writing in 1st POV, it's definelty my go to pov. I have recently mixed POVs in a story. The main story is from the 1st pov of a female character but I needed the view point of other characters to push the story along so I've dropped them in the story in 3rd POV, it worked really well.

I love that analogy!

Changing/adjusting POVs is my pet hate. I started a story once and wrote about 5k words in first person POV. I left it for a bit and when I came back to it I realised it would be much better in 3rd person POV, so I went through what I'd written and changed it back. Arghh, never again, the...

A friend kindly pointed out a bunch of typos I'd missed in one of my stories. She said she felt bad for pointing them out. I let her know I was very grateful for letting me know, I appreciate it when people point them out. How do you feel when people point out typos, does it bother you? I'm...

Patreon dropped CHYOA because certain categories of stories were unacceptable to them. I understand that since then it’s been very challenging to find an alternative. That’s the short version, the long version is on a few different forum posts.

I realise that CHYOA is not set up for linear stories, but nonetheless there's a demand for it here. All my stories are linear and do reasonably well, many from other authors do superbly well. I'd love to take them elsewhere but there are just no decent options. Literotica is massively shit...

Yes, I very much agree. I've seen a few like this had potential but then the author did nothing with it and left it for other authors. I'm like , man you had a great idea then did nothing with it!

Both of these things annoy me too.

Yeah, I agree with this one too, I hardly ever start reading a story that has only got a few chapters, unless I know the author and trust them to publish more chapters. Most of my stories are open ended and quite long and I find that after around 80 to 100 chapters the numbers of readers and...

This is intended to be helpful, but it maybe a bit of a rant too! 1- No cover photo. This is just one of those things that bugs me. I get why people don’t have photos in the actual story itself, but it’s so easy to source a pic and plonk it in the cover photo box. You don’t need to mess about...

Yeah, I noticed that I can access it via existing links but that it's just not advertised on the home screen. I understand now that this part of the fall out after the withdrawal of Patreon.

Why isn't incest/family a category option on the home page? Am I dreaming or did it used to be there?

I never knew that, that's a great idea!

You put that far more eloquently than I could have! But yeah, I can’t stand Literotoica as a reader, as a writer I can’t begin to imagine what a nightmare it must be.

Ah great, that’s so helpful, thank you!

I'm sure that a part of the reason that Back Home Again (https://chyoa.com/story/Back-Home-Again.23344) is my most successful story is down to the main picture on the front of the story. I just got very lucky with my choice there and it struck a chord. I wish that I knew where I found it...

This is very true. I was fumbling about with short stories and half written novels and enjoying writing them but no out let for them. I wasn't (and still don't think I am) ready for big boy stuff like Amazon. Then, searching for porn one day I found CHYOA. I'd never even come close to writing...
