It's been a while since I did this. Well, hi people of chyoa, it's me, Despaxas. I'm not dead. Real life is a pain and covid tried and failed to kill me. I'll be pretty honest these last two years have not been fun and almost killed my writing abilities. I tried to get back to writing...

Self explanatory. 3000 notifications red dots disappear if you look at the the notification button funny, but I just spent 15 minutes scrolling down through hundreds of messages including some nearly a year old to find the ones with a background a tiny bit darker white than the others to find...

Another thing that could be useful to display next to an option is the depth of the branch behind it. So it would simply a number telling that the longest branch past this option is X chapters long and do it again for each further choice. Would avoid the 3 chapters long branch bad surprises...

I just realized something, in many situations if people continue from the last chapter, the original authors chapter get the second slot instead of being on top. Some people pick their choices based on options, others want to see what was the story that the story owner wanted to write (both...

on the mobile version you have to click something to see comments and on the pc version you see them while you read opening the door for spoilers. I propose that in both case the comment section on chapter be moved at the bottom of the chapter. you should have read the chapter before commenting...

One the forum once you started messaging with someone you can add another person to the conversation. Ond the main site you can't. I have discussions with other writers on my story and just realized that I would have to create a whole new conversation the next time I get a new writer and that...

As proposed by 57 and clarified by me in another thread. It would be nice to have a system similar to the status we have here on the forum but on the main site profile page. It would offer a good way for authors to communicate with readers in groups rather than to have to message individuals...

In various suggestions the idea of listing authors of a story or helping finding the work of a particular author arose. I think I found an elegant solution that could probably be automated. Why not set the site to automatically add the name of the author as a tag to a chapter? That way you...

Just a thing I noticed. Lots of very short first chapters ending with: Please add to the story. While we sometimes can't even guess what the story is about from what is already there. So please, either write multiple chapters before publishing or make her first one enough that people can...

On the mobile version you have to open the side menu to see if there are comments and cannot see both the text and comments at the same time. I propose to either put the comments under the chapter or display a number on the comment icon to indicate that there are comments on the chapter.

Pretty simple right? And I really think no one proposed it this time. No need for all the colors of the universe but why not add the possibility to color text in red blue green. It could replace bold or italics for a few things and be a nice addition to write multiple characters dialogs...

I propose we add an option to get notifications if someones comments on a story we are owner/editor of, even if it is on a chapter we didn't write. Optional we could even add an option to get notifications for comments for stories we favorite.

When I get a mail because someone responded on the forum I get a sneak peek of it from the mail, but when I get on on the site I am forced to open the browser to check it. This, added to the delay means that I often do it only to discover it wasn't an answer but a notification for a message I...

Despite the addition of a few new writers with their own take on the story I often get comments with good or original ideas, but that don't fit my vision for the story. To keep in spirit with gaming there is something I could do about that. In rpg games a classic gamer reflex when choosing...

With a menu like in message allow people to set an author as a search criteria to find chapters they wrote on stories that aren't theirs. It would leave the search bar available and make it possible to do a word search just for one author. And it could be useful. The way we can see chapters...

To implement in every single place you can order things either alphabetically, numerically or chronologically. The ability to change the order. What if I want to see my oldest chapters rather than the newest? Or the oldest story on the site? Or the story I didn't update for too long? It...

As discussed here people seem to ignore or not care that you can have customizable names and a default name other than John Doe. Having option is awesome, being forced to pick a name or having to read people talk to Mr Doe, breaks immersion. Proposal either just pick something else as...

I Made this inflammatory post to remind people that you can leave the customized name system AND pick a default name for your hero. It's awesome to want to let someone pick the name they want, but please have mercy and set another default name once in a while. I can't read a story about...

my story about the Gamer almost never existed. I was about to start a story about someone stuck into a futuristic vr video game ( like in sword art online) except with a little twist. the player in question is a dirty cheater. he instaled a pirate mod to cheat at this new game. of course either...

As authors you are of course familiar with the fact that after the first chapters the number of readers drop. From story to story keeping a fourth of what you had between chapter 1 and 5 past chapter 20 is an accomplishment. Looking at the story map I just noticed something that doesn't make...
