I'm waiting on my work computer to finish unexpected updates right now so maybe I will talk a bit about my overshare thing. I relate pretty fucking hard to, honestly most shit you seem to say, but this particularly. I've thought ad nauseum about the concept of my "author career" because I wrote...

Sidney is cis-female as I currently have her. Only a couple thousand words of material, not a lot but I do have a sense of her and considered a thread with the flipped Bridget adjacent friend scenario? I dunno, I wrote this thing with a talking bird and it was, you know, whatever. Good...

Going to link this from one of my stories to get some input if anybody wants to offer it. If I don't hear much then I'm probably going to do something soon with one of the first two concepts that I already have some material for. I have a few story ideas I'm workshopping and trying to decide...

Hi thread, what's that you say, you want to return from death's peaceful slumber in pursuit of an approaching-nominal entertainment payoff? Oh, it'd be my pleasure! My share is only tangentially on the subject of spellcheck, but it's a thematically similar comically stupid problem I have in my...

Mine is a distressingly fractal approach and I think it's why I have ... linear story anxiety? Haha! "OK, I've evaluated X and Y and Z and I think X is the best path toward the thing that needs to happen to the characters 9 years from now. Here we go... wait a second, now that I've written 25K...

I have been using NP++ for quickie composition shit and I was considering this route. It might be my best bet really, because the longer I go on the more I realize I really need something text searchable. I'm going to check out diagrams.net like you suggested too. The annoying thing is when you...

I think political also in the non-dynastic sense that it provided a culture/state advocated mechanism for stratifying racial castes. If you're concentrating "pure" western Christian bloodlines to avoid dilution by people of semitic extraction I guess you can't help but fuck your cousins. Now...

This is more of a crossover with the "to end or not" thread discussion but I have a multiverse thread in my big story that mainly came about due to my confusing multiple threads and suddenly I'm like, well obviously the only answer to this is to punch through the fourth wall and introduce a...

Same. I have characters I invented years ago that I revisit sometimes because I don't want them to... disappear completely? I really relate to this. I think that's why the multiversal aspects of the branching really appeal. I have too much trouble letting a thing be done. I remember being a kid...

From someone who from a storycraft perspective has what doctors call directional insanity, I've tried to imagine before what this kind of sense for true north might feel like. It sounds so cool and useful. I don't want to give up the way I write now because it's kind of fun and unexpected when I...

This is a winning line.

I'm so validated right now because your dickgirl controversy embrace is 100% how I wound up with a whole Future Man/Fringe the timelines are at war! style thread I now just think of as "the crazy thread." Now it's the repository for all the very dumbest shit I want to play with. To be clear...

That's a considerably more coherent design than mine. Using the links is a smart move. I feel like I'm yanking poor Dansak's totally valid thread way off topic so I'll try to keep it brief. I have some half-assed mostly false starts created from experimenting with different options for staying...

Heart. Warmed as FUCK.

Well I loved reading this thread even though I'm 2 weeks late to the show. Fuck it though. I'm really enjoying you guys. New goal, make an Abraham Lincoln quote meme out of this and see if I can convince anyone it's real. Why do you think Mary Todd Lincoln had so many mental health problems...

Uh yeah you are not wrong. Like I'm still treading water but the ladder's getting farther and farther away because I keep paddling the wrong fucking direction. This is the super sloppy spreadsheet where I'm currently very half-assedly keeping track of it. I've been trying to decide what my best...

I guess like everything I do this'll be rambly. I've been thinking about this lately too, possibly because I'm new here and the branching is so beautifully novel to me and I love it so much that I've gone on kind of a self-indulgent ride so far. It's kind of surprised me how insanely enriching...

This is why I personally haven't tried this feature yet—I apparently have some kind of nickname fetish because the time so far that I considered using placeholders I quickly gave up once I realized that it wouldn't be feasible to use my 4 different context-contingent or just impromptu dumb...

I actually don't know squat about the character or what you actually want, but I like making character art and I had a couple minutes to kill. Just for grins.
