    Which story would you be most likely to read? (Poll)

    Hi there folks! I have a bunch of story ideas in my head, and I was hoping to gauge interest to see which of those ideas my fellow Chyoa denizens would be most interested in reading. Each story will have mostly vanilla kinks and sexual content, with the exception of non-consent which will be...

    How do you decide on a POV?

    Good descriptions here. What if a third person narrative is super detached, and only describes actions/scenery/reactions without delving into or attributing thoughts to characters? Something like: [A man walked up to the edge of the pond, and the geese flapped away in a flurry of wings. Across...

    Do you think a story with two different POVs is bad?

    Yeah, now that I know it's against the rules that pretty much kills this little experiment dead, but I appreciate your well-thought out replies. I may still do first person, mostly because one of my favorite desert island narratives is in first person (Island by Richard Laymon) though it's a...

    Do you think a story with two different POVs is bad?

    Oh for sure, I'm no professional lol I did something unorthodox in a creative writing class in college back in the day (for what THAT'S worth lmao) where I switched character perspectives every paragraph or so in 3rd person limited as two characters had a conversation. The professor was at...

    Do you think a story with two different POVs is bad?

    This is a VERY similar situation to what I was talking about. In my story there will be a character or set of characters (haven't decided yet) that are on a different part of the island, far away from the protagonist. The point of having these split character groups is because the character(s)...

    Do you think a story with two different POVs is bad?

    Good point. On my current story I've pumped out just under 60 mid-sized chapters for the main branch in a month, but there's no guarantee that I'll be writing so often all the time. If my updates are slower for my new story, I might try to cover that base with optional recap chapters? One thing...

    Do you think a story with two different POVs is bad?

    Thanks for your answers. My question was more directly about switching between a first person and third person writing POV (I and My vs She and Her), as I agree it is perfectly normal to have other narrators in a story. It's comforting to hear that some of you have done them before or think...

    Do you think a story with two different POVs is bad?

    I'm struggling a bit with an idea I have for my next story. I'm planning on writing a thriller/erotic/mystery story set on a deserted island. The setting is one that's been done to death, but I've always loved books like the not so subtle Island by Richard Laymon that take place on, you guessed...
