Has the algorithm for new stories displayed on the front page changed? They used to be ranked by activity: Write a new chapter and you are back top, no? Now it seems simply structured by date of first publication. I prefer the activity one: If you dedicate some time and effort to your new...

I won't have a lot of time the next days. Anybody fancies to contribute chapters to get the story some visibility on the homepage?

I was also wondering about HTML, but I think you can also achieve single spaced lines by Shift+Return.

There's one problem with coins that might occur, though: in my Happy Maid story, I was surprised to find that 00-varibles can go down to negative numbers ("Antagonising Dave" is a case in point, readers who just follow the husband's wishes end up with a negative number there). I don't see any...

I always assumed that people would not read the room description a second time, so the count was just meant as initial count and as I plan to stay in the lower numbers I expected readers being able to count down from 3, but... THIS IS BRILLIANT! It even allows me to deduct different point for...

I added the scene at the x-cross and would be more than happy to see if people come up with ideas for the red corridor. I have one or two myself in mind, basically centered around looking at painted sex scenes (which gives you the complete option for basically anything, although it's not...

I just opened the story for moderated contributions. :)

I have added two section to the introduction where I explain the scores and variables and also some notes for writers. Which means I will open the story for contribution soon. :) If anybody has any ideas in mind already, feel free to tell me. I am curious what you might come up with.

To be precise: On the way to the party, the first paragraph reads slightly different if your wife is naked. And while telling the three business men in the atrium that you love your wife, the last paragraph reads slightly different if your wife is dressed as dominatrix. Just checked it again if...

You can try my two stories: "Happy Maid" uses game/score function, although the implication of the points you gather is not too obvious in the earlier part. But the part about the bolean values ("inventory" and people you've met) should be quite clear. My new story "The invitation" will use...

Strangely, that's a problem I never had, but maybe that's because I am used to writing reports and features, where the idea of "being right at the spot" is key. I guess that's also what might help while writing stories: Imagine yourself (or the protagonist) right there, at the spot. That's...

This is wonderful feedback, thank you so much, the two of you! :) And what could be a greater compliment than prompting a lurker out of the shadows to contribute! ;) I am really looking forward finding out what people might come up with. Concerning the customized names: Yes, I was thinking...

I just published a new story called "The Invitation". The story is set about an extravagant BDSM party to which a young man and his wife are invited. The man hopes to rise through the ranks of power at his office by attending the party. I plan to make both POVs playable, but will focus first on...

I use "bad ends" a lot in my "Happy Maid" story. Simply because I see the story as a real challenging game type of story, so there will be probably only one "good" end, but several ones which end the story prematurely. That being said, speaking from a typical CHYOA reader perspective, I must...

Would be good to put a link to story in your first posting, so readers who haven't stumbled over it can easily look it up. :)

Still working on Friday evening & the weekend. This was a bad idea, branching out so much. ;) On a sidenote, while working on the visit to "Steve", I realized that the whole "dating website" option had been broken and partly not accessible, because the former scene of rejecting Dave had not...

It did turn up today, so the seven day cache was indeed the reason. :) What's the reason for this anyway?

Something along those lines sounds useful and an interesting idea to me. "Hot stories of the week/month". Those would probably be the same stories which at the moment are most worked on (which is just fair), but which might not be on the front page every single day. Story of the Week is a...

Not sure this is a bug, but at least it's a question for me: How are the "Top chapters" calculated? I assumed they are a ranking of the chapters with the most "likes". At the moment, #1 has 30 likes and #10 has 21 likes. One of my chapters recently gained a lot of likes, which should put it...

This is a great addition. One question: I can only see and check if the paragraph is displayed correctly when I play the story, right? I just added a paragraph with a condition, and after publishing, it does not show up (because, obviously, I am not playing my story at the moment, so the...
