This would also have the benefit of increasing traffic to the forum. There are probably more stories published in a day than threads updated, so this would quickly fill the forum with spam.

No, it hasn't been implemented yet. Thank you for the link though, it reminded me about that Strip Trivial Pursuit idea...

If you clear the text box and leave it for long enough, it should overwrite the draft as empty.

You could wrap the comment you're replying to in quotation marks. After all, that's how forum replying works, just with BBcode instead of quotation marks, so the quoted section gets highlighted. The only functional difference is that the quoted user will be pinged if the 'reply' button is used...

The US? You're not from Oregon, are you?

Having Game Mode enabled does nothing if it's not being used. Readers might be misled into thinking your story has Game Mode elements because it's enabled, but since the panel indicates when no variables are in use, most would (hopefully) realise it's not actually in use. In addition, many...

If you're aiming to consider likes while controlling for a story's opportunities to gain likes - visibility, update frequency, age, etc. - the best metric is probably likes per chapter, ignoring link chapters. This is a very strong analysis. I would almost never in good faith recommend making a...

This actually isn't an issue anymore. Attempting to leave the editor with unsaved content is now interrupted with a warning asking you to confirm.

If you're repeatedly checking the story, they're probably your own views. The story has been reviewed now.

Challenge Accepted (?)

It looks like you're in Reader Mode. Try clicking the blue paragraph symbol on the right of the address bar.

The biggest thing would have to be bad characterisation. When a character does something too far removed from actual human behaviour without explanation, I cannot continue to enjoy the story. Everything that happens as a consequence of that character's action is simply unbelievable. It seems to...

Well, yes, that's a consequence of writing in the erotica genre and of self-publishing. I guess I could have worded it better as a writer at a level of professional interest. What I mean is that someone with the relevant skills and experience to know what they need from a potential writer - a...

Not a coincidence, but probably not talent, either. An increase in amateur developers - perhaps those that have self-taught Python or JavaScript, or learned tools like RPGMaker - will lead to an increase in demand for complementary skills in collaborative projects. The growth of platforms like...

The search "chyoa" video -inurl:chyoa.com doesn't turn up anything. I'd be very surprised if there existed a video about CHYOA of any reasonable level of production or popularity.

The issue is that there's no easy way to tell which modern category it should be filed under.

Using terms like creature, monster or beast should be fine if the entity described passes the Harkness test. The sexual situation need not actually be consensual; the characters just need to hypothetically have the capacity to consent.

They could be faint, like nested posts on Reddit.

The receptionist looks at you. "Can I get a name?" You nod. "Mr. {if married == true}Foo{else}Bar{endif}" will fix this (and is really the preferred way of structuring it anyway).

Not that I'm aware of. Yes, this is already the case with the current privacy setting. The activity log might be used to identify a user as a spam bot, in which case they would be interacting with the site at an inhuman rate. That doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be public, though.
