    If Chyoa was a place.

    I tip my hat to you. Not only is this all very, very much fun - it could also be a fantastic and useful playground for us authors.

    A Fantasy Dynasty

    I always wanted to help adding to this, but by now, I feel pretty intimidated by the lore and world building. I always think I have to catch up with all those chapters before I can add something useful and in tune with the rest of the story.

    If Chyoa was a place.

    I actually still like the idea of writing a whole story together. Like... stuff which actually happens in the library, and then somebody says "Oh, this reminds me of a story I once read..." or things like that. Or the librarian could ask in the beginning what kind of themes, topics, etc. you...

    Questins on adding to a story

    Exactly. Start a first chapter, or maybe a few first chapters, and you will get reactions. Maybe even people contributing to it (and even if they don't - do not be intimidated, sometimes other writers simply don't find the time balancing all their different projects, although they would like to...

    How wicked an author are you? (poll)

    Not even sure I fit anywhere there. I am fascinated by certain kinks, and I like to explore them in my stories. Those are mainly bondage, submission, dominance, blackmail, hypnosis, petplay, bimbofication or any kind of story which changes a character, often a bit against their will. But I am...

    Stories of the week in place of top chapters.

    Actually, what would also be helpful would be an easier search for new readers. At the moment, most new readers will never realize that it's actually possible to just search "all stories" for "most views" or "best rated". I just played around with the search options, and it's true that we have...

    Stories to read

    Stories I have listed under "favorites" are: Witch's Curse - by @Fiftyfiftyfifty - Nice use of game mechanics in a mix of modern world/fantasy about the challenge for a young man NOT to cum. Interesting characters as well. At the cabin - A staggering labyrinth of 1700+ chapters, focusing a lot...

    Stories of the week in place of top chapters.

    As much as I agree with you in general I feel compelled to disagree on your attack of my chapter, sitting there in #1. Yes, I know the story hasn't been updated for a while. But I still think that it is a very nice chapter and I am very happy for the entry point it provides into my story, which...

    Vikings

    Interesting idea. Also on my list of "haven't watched yet". But I definitely want more sexual skills. And maybe something like "Dominance" which makes other people fear and respect you (and women submit to you).

    I'm the only one demoralized by this?

    I am not sure a finish line will solve the problem, it could rather end up having both sides frustrated: Those who see the "poll story" as a useful and interesting tool (because even though from a scientific point the result might be flawed, it gets even less useful if it's one year old) and...

    Encyclopedia Erotica

    I would suggest words for sperm/cum. :) Also: Especially for us non-native users, it might be a nice addition to add sometimes if a certain word is more vulgar/neutral, or if it's a certain slang only used by specific people, or a rather old fashioned word, etc. But I do understand that this...

    "Happy Maid"

    As of today, two chapters of Happy Maid can be found in the "top 10 chapters". I feel honored and humbled. Although I think it's probably good if the second one will be replaced by another story's chapter soon. The list is a nice showcase for stories, and I don't want to block two spots. ;)...

    The Invitation

    I finished the second room, "the red corridor", and will move on to the next room, which will also give a bit more insights about the party. Still so far no contribution. Feel free to add people, things or answers/reactions to the first two rooms, people!

    Conditional Branches - Hidden Variables and Edit silently

    If a variable is visible in branch A and invisible in branch B and both are connected in one chapter and continue as branch C... what about the visibility then? If "no change" is set, will they just continue as before?

    CHYOA Changelog

    There is a change about score and variables, right? Is this the "invisible" option? But what's the third one then. You suddenly have 3 options to choose from.

    Depth vs Number of Chapters

    A linear Story is pointless in my regard. If I want to read linear, I go somewhere else. My own goal is to offer at least 2 choices at the end of every chapter. Which also means the chapter should end at a point where a choice makes sense. My observation is that in quite a few cases writers...

    Tools you use for writing

    When I have to become inspired for names, especially for a lot of minor characters, I use the "fakenamegenerator". Pretty fun tool: http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/advanced.php

    Questions about creating a text adventure story

    Technically, there is never really a way to end a story here. The only option is to write "The End" under it. If you write "The End" into the "what's next?" line, then it's a sign even for moderated or open stories that this is meant to be the end. So, I guess your problem is in this case that...

    Pet peeves, things to work on as authors

    Describing the world (and especially people) in numbers instead of words is indeed for me often one of the immediate signs if I continue to read a story or if I stop after the first paragraph. If a story starts with "Susan was 1,60 m tall, weighs 80 pounds and had a breast size of DD", I know...

    Questions about creating a text adventure story

    If you start a new chapter, you can do those things. I guess one just has to come up with creative ways to work with the limitations. To a certain extent, I also appreciate the simplicity. A lot of authors seem not to be ready for even those small steps. I also like it a lot how active the...
