    Merging Branches

    Question: If I want to branch a story to give a choice for a certain action, but that choice has no bearing on the main plot, is there a way to merge the two branches back into one? It's easy enough to do with HTML links, but I want to do it inside the framework here. The example would be two...

    What type of story is it going to be? I checked, you don't appear to have any yet.

    Subscribestar Problem

    Substribestar still hasn't fixed the issue, at thee months one has to wonder if it is ever going to be fixed. It's probably time to get an alternate method of funding going ;) It's a shame, the ability to change membership types here automatically from Subscribestar subscriptions is really nice.

    Subscribestar Problem

    Still down as of 4/6. I have one other live subscription that is working correctly, the other one that went down the same time yours did decided to leave the platform. If you need help paying the server bill for the month let me know by PM,

    Can't get picture to embed

    That DA link may well work. Embed it in the story and see. TheLowKing is right about that, the URL itself doesn't need to end in .img or jpeg, the information does have to be transmitted that it is an image though. The problem is the first three you posted were from file sharing sites, not...

    Can't get picture to embed

    In that last link yes, the rest of them it opens the file in a new window because it doesn't recognize the type.

    Can't get picture to embed

    They are probably doing that on purpose to stop hot linking, but yes, none of that will show up as pictures. You will need to save them somewhere else to embed them here. Without the link ending in a known mime type HTML doesn't know what to do with it.

    Deleted story

    To be fair, what fixed the problem 2 years and four months ago probably isn't pertinent to fixing the same class of issue now, which frankly is a huge issue when trying to find a solution to fixing an IT issue on the Internet these days. It's particularly frustrating when the "fix" involves...

    Change font size?

    Ctrl + will increase the size even without a mouse. Ctrl - reduces size, Ctrl 0 (zero not the letter o) resets to default. Works with all browsers I believe.

    How do you feel about sexually explicit GIFs and Pictures in stories?

    A server that can handle streaming is a whole different category of beast than one that handles text, so I doubt this site can handle it natively, it's always going to have to be hosted elsewhere. They might be able to embed it from another site. I'm curious though, I use Dax Studio, which is...

    How do you feel about sexually explicit GIFs and Pictures in stories?

    I use 3D art to generate pictures of my characters and to be honest one of the reasons is it's a lot easier than lengthy descriptions of them. I also use them for the sex scenes for about the same reason, the actual sex itself is probably the least interesting aspect of the story, what's going...

    Subscribestar Problem

    I tried resubscribing today. The option still doesn't work, but it does bring up the message that they (subscribestar) are working on the problem. I'll retry every couple of days and let you know if/when it's working again. Being this has been a problem for a week now one might begin to...

    Returning to old stories

    CHYOA is all about branching stories. If you want to use the same characters but give them a new perspective, just create a new branch to the story. It doesn't have to effect anything that came before. Now if you're talking about continuing the exact same story, yes, we as authors do change...

    Subscribestar Problem

    Hey folks, two of my adult subscriptions on SubscribeStar were shut down Friday, this was one of them. The other one posted that their account was blocked, yours may be too. In any case, please check, if your account wasn't blocked I do have the ability to re-enroll, it doesn't make any sense...

    Anyone else getting random messages asking about making comics of your stories?

    I do make comics, and I have done them to other's stories, so it isn't necessarily a scam. You do need to be wary, particularly if they want to be paid for it. While there are people who do that legitimately too, it's not often they cold call out of the blue.

    Can't get picture to embed

    No, it appears to be escaping those characters automatically, and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it, unless the editor has another mode I don't know about.

    Can't get picture to embed

    For some reason it keeps making a link out of the URL string instead of embedding the picture. I double checked the syntax, and tried it a couple of times. Did something change or am I having a senior moment? Here is the section with the problem. I've done this with every other section of...
