I invite everyone who is at least slightly interested in BDSM to contribute to my story https://chyoa.com/story/The-Invitation.9867 which uses "rooms" and encounters where you can wander from A to B and have little adventures that either change your stats, let you find stuff or are just little...

People normally replace the "What's next?" with THE END or [END] or something like that to indicate that this is supposed to be an ending. As far as I can see, other writers respect that.

Not sure this is technically possible. Also: if-conditions are only displayed when you start game mode. So to everyone else the titel would read "Press button". But I am not sure it's possible anyway, because the title is not the same as a text field.

I would be open to a chapter trade. I am not very active here recently, though. But I like the idea, and yay for more community interaction!

I am not saying that there are not some exceptions, and of course, great writers can turn even a bad or mediocre first chapter into something awesome. My point that I am not exactly sure why investing time, effort and skill into continuing a One-chapter-story should have more value for CHYOA...

There are a lot of 1 chapter stories which are simply bad and well left alone. There's often a reason these were not expanded, it seems to me. Isn't it much more fun for all sides if people actually really work together on stories the initiator is enthusiastic about?

That looks like a good solution for linear stories but like a desaster for stories with lots of branches.

Not sure it's possible, but great idea.

I also think that "Call to action" is a much more neutral term, as "like fishing" sounds similar to "fishing for compliments" or other terms, which have a slight pejorative twist, as if somebody would try to lure people to click "like", although they actually don't want to. In my opinion...

No, there could be major edits where a whole chapter is rewritten, or several paragraphs added, maybe also some hidden conditional paragraphs in game mode. The distinction has its merit. I still agree that edit silently should be default.

Yes, those were examples from the top of my head. You write what you like, obviously. Others can add what they like. That's the beauty of CHYOA, after all.

Okay, so my thoughts are basically along these lines: I would probably start with an early choice which involves 3-4 branches in the beginning. That gives the reader something to choose and experience different paths according to their liking, but is still manageable. So, in this case, for...

I understand where you're coming from, but having obviously closely watched how the chapter was rising through the ranks, I still believe that the main push came from being placed in the "top10" section. At least, it was a combination of both. Plus, for a very long time, the chapter actually...

Wonderful stuff! Great site!

I like the concept and some of those cards gave me new ideas for bits and pieces of stories, but I have the impression that the choices are so endless, it might be difficult to fit this all into one story. The stories coming out from this might be all very, very different and would probably...

I am sad to hear this, and I disagree: I implemented several "please don't forget to vote if you like a chapter" notes in my stories. I always paid attention to not write a blunt, boring abstract but to somehow incorporate those into the story. Most of them did not gather a lot of extra votes...

For me it would be #2, as I see most potential for a clear story arch and some kind of reachable goal which people can work towards to. Although I must say the plot looks a bit simple and straightforward. I do see potential for a game mode story where he has to learn how to control the thing and...

Well, I am happy to help out with any German vocabulary. ;)

Is this supposed to become a linear story? With all those ideas and subplots, even a simple sex scene branch could lead to the frustrating feeling of having to copy everything a second branch develops.
