    Reading through the remove dislike button thread that turned into a book writing competition I think we might consider a slight set of changes to the like dislike system. Try and encourage users to leave more ratings, maybe bigger or colored buttons might work. Consider a way for readers to...

    The game system

    Happy maid makes excellent use of the game system as do a few others but I find with the current system I have to plan out more which can be restrictive as an author

    this is great, maybe we could get this integrated into the main site like auto correct or something for authors

    The game system

    Do you use it as an author or as a reader, do you think it makes for better content? I love and hate it sometimes but am interested in what you have to say

    Chyoa currently favors large stories that are updated regularly, not a bad thing but that means a lot of stuff gets lost quickly. I am not super happy when I update a story and 10 minutes later it is off the front page because 10 other people picked that moment to make minor edits to their...

    Planned Feature: Formula Parser

    I will pop my two cents in here quickly. I think any new feature is good but I think this is a complex one. How many new stories use the games system, how many readers do? If it is super popular and brings in site traffic then adding more too it could further boost it. If it hasn't taken off...

    Pet peeves, things to work on as authors

    I think the real take away here is don't get caught up in numbers and letters. It is easy to write DD but harder to write how someone might see them, what they might be thinking, or the other million details. The work is worth it though to the reader.

    Augmented reality – Smartphone game

    If you set it up right with a narrative hook for "plugins" it could be expanded upon easily Maybe just write it that you dropped your cellphone broke and support mailed you a new one, with this strange app installed. The idea of risk vs reward of it only working with other app users is...

    Man I am reading things out of order today, but hey awesome All for it, but I still think a dedicated help page might not go wrong, the story interface is built for stories not documentation but it ain't broke so.... up to you

    Right now everything is nested inside some very helpful stories, we might consider just getting a wiki of some kind that links back to specific example stories on the site Just have a plan, I love the steady addition of features but I just want it to be sustainable has science gone too far? No...

    I just published an epic CHYOA erotica for Kindle

    Congrats and hope everything works out. This is something I have been wondering about for a while. I had seen and played choose your own adventure games on kindle before and many were very high quality. It had crossed my mind that authors of those might take content from here or write here. A...

    Are there any special rules for writing in the second person?

    I move between stories where it goes form you to I and it kills me inside, even though I check I am 100% positive it is something I fucked up

    Pet peeves, things to work on as authors

    This tread teaches more about how the vagina works than most high schools in america, bravo I generally try and leave out most fine details and let the reader fill them in. However I would point out people aren't here to read about reality in general they want a sexier abstraction or sexual...

    Bad Ends in Stories

    I may be fucked up in this but for most of my stories I actually use a pen and paper to map them out, very unsexy I know. The reason is to cut down on dead ends, I heavily use linked chapters and try and prevent users from ever going back in a story like a game. I try and have an ending "area"...

    I want to interject something into the conversation here. The way choya has been designed is so that people with zero coding knowledge can go out and make a story. Choya is being split to a degree, older content isn't getting updated and is being left behind by new innovation. Many don't have...
