You can use a character's exploration or ignorance of their newfound powers to drive the story. For instance, while testing the constraints of his hypnotic amulet, someone might discover that if a command is too displaced from a person's convictions, the hypnosis breaks... but he realises this...

I name characters based on the context, so it changes between stories. In Darkest Challenges, none of the characters were named. You could say this was a stylistic choice. That was intended to be a game more than a story, so it seemed appropriate that non-player characters would come off as...

Come again?!

I would put in a second recommendation for JerkGently. Porneia is also someone whose stories I often find myself revisiting.

I think writing a purely pornographic story based on any real-world tragedy that still affects many people in the present (including events that began centuries ago, like British colonisation) would be offensive in the extreme, but nobody can or will stop you. After all, the same statement can...

That is technically correct for third person, past tense. The narrator is not an actual character and is not present in space or in time, so if they refer to something as though it were currently in front of them, it is technically incorrect. However, third-person narration often expresses...

If you find any rule-breaking chapters, please report them. Remember, moderators don't check every new chapter, just every new story. The only users doing any 'shrugging off'' are those that read such content, knowing that it violates the rules, without reporting them. They could also argue on...

I also think that most streamers aren't too far from traditional celebrities - the average member of youngest generation today could probably name more Youtubers than Hollywood actors. I wouldn't be opposed to a new rule against both types of stories.

To prevent you from wasting your time and enthusiasm, you should understand that the probability of someone providing hours of labour and hundreds of dollars worth of content for you, exactly to your specifications, for free, is not meaningfully distinct from zero. If you are offering actual...

If it's a private story, or a moderated story almost wholly written by one author, I'm impressed. It's safe to assume in such a scenario that the author has exercised some degree of caution about how they structure their story, even subconsciously. There's a certain kind of organisation inherent...

The only meaningful 'kink' that affects what I read or write on CHYOA is one for situation and context. There's nothing better than when two characters are realistic and fleshed-out with an interesting relationship dynamic. I enjoy anything sexual that occurs as an element of a wider story or...

If you would download an image, that means it's already on the Internet in the first place. Provided it's a stable source (e.g. a year-old Hentai Foundry drawing probably won't be deleted), you can just use the URL from wherever you found the image.

I'm actually a mod, though not the final word. I can say that rule 2 is not so strict that you couldn't write away any issues. There have been stories approved with literal animals that aren't considered bestiality because the character meets all three Harkness requirements. Also, I forgot to...

I think Pokemon toe the line, and it's quite easy to depict them as either passing or failing the Harkness test without significantly deviating from canon. That said, I'm inclined to agree with these points. Some Pokemon behave with animal intelligence, while others behave with human...

I just realised I never responded to this thread. I had been vaguely active on editthis.info for about a year or two before I discovered CHYOA at the end of 2018, while searching for the exact content the site provides. You could say Google led me here. Honestly, I'm not sure what kept me from...

The advertisement is an intentional addition by Friedman, if that's what you're asking. The font isn't a coincidence, though it links to an external site. StripChat are paying for the advertising space just as any other advertiser would, but I understand they are essentially paying more money...

Feel free. CHYOA does not stop you from publishing anything harmless (unless, of course, the story is private). The problem here is that for the site to consist of only branching stories, we would need to ban non-branching stories. In order to do so, we would need to delete stories that do not...

As a moderator and someone who has been on the site for more than ten days, I can assure you that the current stance of site administration is that stories that do not risk harming the site are allowed, full stop. The fact that it is possible to post them somewhere else is an incredibly weak...

Actually, this function is already available. Top of the website -> Messages -> Send a New Message. Start typing the recipient's username in the appropriate box and click on it when it appears.

Unfortunately, this idea is quite antithetical to CHYOA's purpose. I cannot imagine Friedman banning stories unless they threaten the site's existence. There is a limited number of appropriate sites with an equivalent or larger userbase than CHYOA. Many of these approve or reject stories on a...
