If you visit the (broken) page and append "/edit" to the URL, you might be able to access the editing interface even though the chapter can't be viewed, which should allow you to remove the image. This method never seems to work for me, but it's how this issue is normally resolved.

This currently isn't possible. You need to direct the reader to activate game mode manually.

In a plot heavy story, I aim for 1000 words. This is actually far less than the average chapter in most real novels, but this is the Internet, and audiences here generally have much shorter attention spans. I like to keep my chapters bite-sized. To that end, it's also sometimes important to...

Is this purely a hypothetical, has Murrlogic1 joined CHYOA, or does deforestation constitute its own kink?

RNG isn't currently possible. You can use an external tool like a die and direct the reader to certain chapters based on that random result.

The stories you write come from somewhere within you. Your keyboard is not automated, and your hands do not have lives of their own. When you mentally compose a scene before committing it to the written word, what is it exactly that goes through your mind? The assumption that the judgemental...

I would note that mutually exclusive chapters might not be best for the situation you describe. If the player has over 300 gold, then they would expect to be able to afford their choice of X, Y or Z, perhaps if they wanted to save some money for later. If this is the chapter in question, then...

There's still a limit on non-sexual violence. You can describe someone being stabbed in the stomach, but you can't really describe their guts being pulled out and force-fed back to them.

Chapters are reviewed by whoever runs the story you've contributed to. How long it takes depends on the individual. You could try messaging the story owner if you're unsure - they are probably the author of the Introduction chapter or the person listed in "Created on [date] by [someone]".

I'd be surprised if Friedman went ahead with such a request. It's not really within your rights to remove other people's content simply because it distracts readers from your own content. By the same argument, perhaps I should start deleting popular stories in the Fantasy category so that...

It only takes a few seconds to load on my Internet and machine, though I don't know if that's because you've since taken gene.sis' comments into account. I think this is an interesting concept, but I would modify the premise to, "What one-chapter story could be interesting, satisfying to play...

It's unofficial (not maintained or overseen by Friedman or any CHYOA moderators), but yes - https://discord.gg/dQ3enbwz There's also an older, less active server that's more broadly intended for interactive adult fiction in general - https://discord.gg/NVp4SZWb

Unfortunately, that's not currently possible.

Unfortunately, I don't believe the site could support an auto-saving feature. If I ever encounter an issue with saving a draft, I immediately copy all the content I've written into the clipboard.

No spelling/grammar checker is more accurate than the human mind, so I prefer not to use any. That said, many human minds on CHYOA could at least take notes from such software.

Do you mean the top ten stories on the sidebar of the homepage? Those are based on 'rating', or total number of likes. The reason they don't change often is because, well, they're the top ten. It takes a huge number of likes to break into that list (over 45,000). For instance, the 11th highest...

I can't imagine something like a convict being shipped to Australia would offend any rational person, because very few people descended from Australian convicts are negatively affected by it. On the other hand, the genocide of Australian Aboriginal peoples continues to directly impact many, if...

I imagine this will be another case of the forum misrepresenting the site as a whole. The poll will probably end in 'yes', but I think that most users, who are more casual readers, are not likely to reach the end of any reasonably long storyline anyway, and in fact would rather they never did...
