Okay, first you need to flesh this fantasy universe of Midnick out a bit more. I'd highly recommend fleshing things out in a text document separate to CHYOA. Be warned that these things can become complicated very fast.
Whilst I'm no expert when it comes to fantasy, I'd say you should be able...
Good to know. I was admittedly 50/50 on pictures as it basically cheating on character descriptions. Still, part of me loves hunting down the right images that are free and have no licensing issues. That and adapting the story to fit what images I can find.
Ultimately I do intend on having...
Beyond donating to the appropriate tier on CHYOA's Patreon, the best way to get more contributors is to be prolific and keep updating stories. You never know when that one thread will attract the right writer to uhhhh write for you.
I definitely can understand an author avoiding bad/painful sex (kinks notwithstanding), but sometimes it can be interesting when things aren't 'perfect'. For example, one of my chapters in 'School Drop Off' (Shameless plug: https://chyoa.com/chapter/Fucking-Cindy-in-the-classroom.479178) has the...
I agree with this. For the most part, I find 'perfect people' rather tiresome. At least giving the character one flaw makes the character fall into the realm of believability (even if only a little). It doesn't even have to be physical either. For example, if you at least make a godly looking...
100% back this.
I'm strongly opposed to No. 2. Having a dislike button allows for trolling or for people to just be negative without being constructive. I can think of at least two comments I've gotten on CHOYA that have helped me fix small errors I've made. With a dislike button, those...
Are looking to set a cover image or to insert a picture with the text?
For a cover image, go to the drop-down menu accessed via the top toolbar (it's the little arrow on the far right) and click 'My Stories'. From there your story should appear. On the far right of your story's title should...
In general, I think it's fairly author/style dependant how much time you spend on descriptions. I personally like to give a brief overview of what a character looks like, focusing on what I feel is the most important details (for example, maybe the character has a tattoo which is relevant to...
On the top left corner of CHOYA's home page is the search function. Once you activate the search, make sure to go to the toolbar on the right and select 'Author' under the 'Type' sub-menu
I wouldn't call myself an expert (only published one story which I accidentally released early), but in my mind, I would at minimum want:
-Two branching paths (It's in the name: CHoose Your Own Adventure)
-At least 5 chapters deep on each path (although they don't have to have five chapters...
Idea I had:
18 year old is cursed and needs to lose their virginity at their 18th Birthday Party. Failure to have sex leads them to repeat the day until they do the do. After a certain amount of failures, the character could begin to suffer penalties such as waking up later, becoming uglier, or...
