Thanks, I believe that does help clarify what you're looking for. Unfortunately I don't believe there's a way to pluck out chapters for splitting, and I do think the neatest way would be to use copy and paste to transform A, B, and C to be A1, D, and E, then create your new A2, B, and C from...

It might be necessary to break out more precisely what you're hoping to do. There might be some clever ways, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean. If you're saying you currently have a story with chapters A > B > C > D > E, and you're hoping to replace C with a branching series of chapters...

As Dissonant Soundtrack says. For best results, give link chapter 5 the same name as chapter 4. Readers of your story in chapter 3 will only see that clicking link chapter 5 takes them smoothly to the chapter with the title they expect. Considering what you're talking about 1 to 2 to 4 to 1...

If I'm understanding your question correctly and you have 1 chapter that continues to 2 options, and those 2 options continue to split for a total of 4, but you want them all to weave back together into one chapter, I think you just need to understand link chapters. You can read about them here...

If someone writes a moderated story and I choose to write for it, I am probably doing it for one of two reasons: 1. The story offers something to me, or I want to get it off the ground so more people write for it. In these cases I'm not giving a gift to the story owner by posting a chapter...

Why do you need the comparison? There's a big difference between the questions "How do you like my work?" and "Do you prefer my work to this other author's work?" I may be missing the context, but I think it's generally poor form and against the spirit of collaborative writing to solicit a...

I'm definitely in a tug of war between two metrics on chapter titles: On one hand, I want descriptive chapter titles that catch the eye on the story map and are easy to look back up. On the other, I personally have a strong aversion to spoiling events in the chapter title. So while I'd like...

There's not a way to do this exactly, but there's a potential way to do something like this, easier or harder depending on what you want to do. Say you want to let the player input an age, and in the course of the story, have that number increase by 1. The easiest way would seem to be this. For...

For what it's worth, and this is just a hunch, but I notice bookmarking isn't tracked by the public User Activity page while liking or favoriting is. As such, I've suspected it is used as a tool by some accounts who wish for their reading activity to remain anonymous. If that was intentional...

In terms of bookmarks and favorites I think it's worth asking if all users understand what function those two buttons have. On mobile they appear as two small unlabeled images tucked away at the bottom corner. I'd bet there are a number of people who don't know what they do or how they could...

Usually I see this handled in-story by one of the following two methods, if it's desired: 1. Include a bookkeeping chapter or include some info in the introduction that says "these branches are finished"; or, alternatively, "these branches are in progress." 2. Include a tag such as (Complete)...

To additionally clarify, this is in "My Stories" in the main site drop down menu (top right corner). You'll see three dots next to your story, and the "Edit Story" option from there. That's the only place to do it, to my knowledge.

While this code isn't for me, I do understand the sentiment behind it. Since this code doesn't in any way tell the writer you have their name blocked, it seems it's not intended as a public shun so much as a way to avoid clicking into stories that have a high probability of not appealing to you...

If you want to make it so viewing a chapter sets the score to a certain level: 1. At the bottom of the editing chapter page, click the checkbox "Changes to the score." 2. Click the box "00" if you want the value to be a whole number. 3. In the boxes that appear, type the variable name and the...

Keeping in mind this is just me sharing interpretation (I have no authority): while the thread being linked is part of the chyoa guide, it is a rules document for the site. The text identifies it as such. There's a request at the bottom for anyone reading writing not in compliance with these...

This feels like it. The rules of CHYOA are specific and strict on the age 18. Keep in mind there are some other rules about age, so if you change the line here but feature writing or depict characters with distinctly under 18 characteristics you may still be in violation...

I think you should receive a notification when it goes through. It's up to the reviewing staff when that'll happen, but my understanding is it usually gets reviewed within a day or two? Good luck!

Just to make sure, you submitted your story for approval and it has been approved? Keep in mind it does not happen as soon as you submit. You will need to wait for a moderator to approve. I ask because in a not-yet-approved story, I believe it will be the case that you can only save chapters as...

I see this as symptomatic of the general issues with categories. Further fragmenting the categories seems like a band-aid solution: after all, you're still left with the question of whether a transgender-focused story in an existing universe is properly transgender category or fan fiction...

I think non-con as a fetish tag would normally be used by people searching for stories where sex is forced onto a party which does not consent to it, which I don't necessarily believe fits this bill. It seems like in any of the three examples OP listed, the protagonist or other characters may or...
