    What are your thoughts about the Patreon Page?

    How about highlights be called Patron's Pick and instead of highlighting just their story, each month they can pick out a story they want to highlight, so it's not necessarily self serving.

    Writers Wanted: CHYOA Patreon Page

    Maybe create a new Patreon Writer forum to post story requests and then writers can post that they're taking one of the requests and then post when they've added the story.

    I volunteer my services in support of the cause!

    What are your thoughts about the Patreon Page?

    I don't mind the highlighted stories showing up like sponsored ads do in google searches, just one or two stories from sponsors and the rest are either or. You're told upfront it's being highlighted because it was a sponsor who wrote it, so there's no deception going on. Not sure how the...

    How do I delete my account?

    Can you change your name to Friedman is Great?

    The curse of names.

    I use google translate too for foreign names. It just reads weird when it's a made up name in a language you're familiar with.

    How exactly is "Story of the Week" chosen?

    I've had my stories featured in the sotw, it was when I was updating them a lot. So frequent updates and new threads will help if you want to be featured.

    Just for Fun. Made Up Sex Positions.

    The rose whip: Eating out a girl that is sitting on your shoulders as she performs sit ups. Next: "Shooting the moon."

    Crossing the divide

    Yeah, that read much better. Third person is easy to follow too, because you don't have the story telling you what you're thinking, it's the main character's thoughts.

    My Best Friend is my Teacher!

    This looks neat and incredibly complicated. Good luck with it! One thing I noticed; you mention that the name can be customized, but the normal custom text bars aren't available on the sidebar. Not sure if that has to do with the gaming system getting in the way or what.

    I am a True Fan - The Game

    If this is going to go with the John Hughes theme, maybe you could add some antagonists, like rivals at a costume contest that need to be put in their place.

    Problem Child

    What's the story about? I still need to finish up the Chris line in your party story.

    Crossing the divide

    Seems to read fine as 2nd person. What you should try to do is keep in either past tense for present tense though. You switch back and forth throughout and it's better practice to just keep with one. So if you want the story to have that old school 'choose your own adventure feel', keep...

    I have written a new CHYOA novel based on Sexy Day in Suburbia.

    Congrats on the new novel. I looked through your library and wow are you prolofic on there! Guess that's no surprise though considering your work on chyoa. The title is a tempting read, if I can scrounge up the money. Might have to ask for an amazon gift card for Christmas.

    Open for Collaboration

    It's cool. I'm interested to see where you go with the Ishtar story so don't want to overload you. Again, I' m not familiar with FF7, so bear with me if I don't get the lore right.

    Open for Collaboration

    Added to the FF7 themed line, Nemo. I never finished the game, so I don't think it'll stay true to the source.

    Open for Collaboration

    I went with the logical conclusion. We could branch off to try a different end or work on a new line.

    Pet peeves, things to work on as authors

    I need to figure out a standardized inner monologue format. It's just so open to interpretation on how to present it. Also, rape is bad. I get why it is often romanticized as a taking of, or loss of control fantasy for men and women, but it still makes me uncomfortable to write about. As...

    Titles That Never Went Anywhere

    Just write one out and go from there. It's easier to jump onto something tangible than to discuss possibilities. I'll be happy to collaborate on threads.
