Would it be unfair if a bookmark automatically generated a like unless the reader conciously decided to unlike the Chapter? Feels like that would solve some of the problem of feedback, or is that too presumptuous? Alternatively could we have a public chapter-bookmarked that kept track of...

Personally I would take the view of not avoiding anything when it comes to creating art but use whatever is necessary/works to tell the story or elicit the feelings you want to elict. Or to put it another way why have music in films? Why have comic books altogether? I would agree that images...

Based on a very small sample of anecdotal evidence (and by evidence I mean gut feeling based on Chapter likes) gifs which give an idea of what is happening (i.e a brunette in doggy style) in the action of a pure smut chapter seem to get a more positive response than an introductory description...

Tarintino has said in interviews in not so many words that his career is built on the inverse of this and why there are so many "homages" in his movies. He'd often watch films and imagine the movie he wanted to watch.

Just bumping this post because I am also interested in getting better at tagging my Chapters. Any advice would be appreciated!

I prefer to keep my personal life and certainly professional life very separate from CHYOA, so without wanting to doxx myself I would just say I am involved to a certain degree with analysing Cryptocurrencies. I would strongly caution against deep direct involvement with crypto. Short term...

Ah, I see! Well I didn't realise that had happened for the one story that is in my Story tab! Thanks.

Hi I was wondering when the Story tab on your profile updates? Last night I posted a bunch of Chapters to a Story I hadn't contributed to before. My personal profile update still only shows the one Story I had previously contributed to. My Chapters tab has updated though. I am receiving...

Perhaps helpful to note that the novel No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy switches point of view between third person and first person. So it is a bit jarring but you'd be in good company.

It's related to the old story of getting bookmarked but not liked as well lol. The context is important. So far all my Chapters on this site have only been in one story and it is basically a smut story rather than War and Peace. Despite that I have included a fair number of character building...

I think there's a difference between being a good writer, being a good story teller and being good at arousing the audience (or amusing them or exciting them genre depending). I think I am decent at telling a story and creating interesting characters. I am inexperienced at arousing people...

For me for erotica to be a turn-on the context is the key. The written format allows the contextual fantasy to be developed in a far richer way than visual porn 90% of the time provides. Or in simpler terms live action porn generally doesn't have a storyline or character arcs. Conversly if I...

(Added translation to original post)

All true English people will shout "Cor' blimey governor!!!' at climax. ;) I had an Italian ex she used to say something like, "scopami come una puttana!" (Fuck me like a whore) This is very dirty though so depends on tone of scene.

As someone who has literally read War and Peace for fun, I strongly agree with this. My reading habits on CHOYA are very different to offline. Incidentally breaking up Chapters is also useful as a writing excercise and thinking what other things could happen or choices be made at the breaks. I...

Actually scratch that idea. I realised it has been done before.

This seems like a fun idea and definitely one for the short list of Chapter branches. Related to this what happens if someone uses a mind control device or potion or whatever to enslave/control themselves Sure the easy answer would be nothing. But if playing for laughs maybe the character ends...

If the story and the threads interest me I don't really mind if I can't add to the story myself. However nonetheless I have found myself gravitating towards public, moderated, private stories in that order. Thinking why that is, personally for this site, I like the CHOYA aspect of stories...

I think this is a good idea. It might be worth highlighting this possibility at the start of the story though. Some readers won't necessarily want to get through the dark stuff if they don't know there is light. Interestingly I am writing an epilogue ending for a character that effectively is...

I was lying awake at 02:00 in the morning and plotted out a whole scene where the MC has entered a bar and one of the options is she speaks to the barman. Apropos of nothing (except I found it funny) the barman is Christopher Walken (well someone magically changed into Walken) The whole scene...
