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

    Thing is, the two choices I selected I'd much rather read, but I'd probably not come to read them on this site. Because I don't expect to find that kind of well written story here.

    Where do you find your names?

    For me the most important thing when picking a name is to avoid the don'ts especially if its going to be the name of a prominent character who's name is going to appear a lot: 1. not overly long or otherwise hard to remember 2. no complicated or weird spelling 3. try avoiding supper duper...

    What's your view on images in stories?

    Came across a new story by NathanX which I thought pulled off the picture thing very well. It's tastefully done and it adds somewhat to the story. Have a gander, it's only 3 chapters and a good read. https://chyoa.com/chapter/Nick-manhandles-you.869206?game=end

    I'm a bit curious about etiquette

    Heh, I recognise this because I have had the urge to do the same. Pretty new around here too, and I remember choosing a story which had other contributors to it but hadn't been updated for a while (OF course I liked the premise too). The author also encouraged in the rule section to be...

    What's your view on images in stories?

    When I read I'm usually repulsed by overly explicit photos, though if it's more along the lines of aesthetic erotic art and avoids showing the face, it's less so off putting and I can even appreciate it. I also appreciate being art from the author, or perhaps art made especially for the story...

    What makes a story popular?

    I wouldn't put too much stock in views since you don't actually know what they are telling you. Some of the views are just people clicking through the chapters, they might not actually be reading them. Say for example someone doesn't have an account and can't use the story map feature. To get an...

    What makes a story popular?

    Given that I started writing in June I'm pretty inexperienced, and I'm probably pretty unknown. But I think I'm doing decently well given my brief existence on this site and my terrible spelling, so I'll share my own insight even iff they are only based on statistics of 1 too 15 likes (lol)...

    Describe your story in the worst possible way!

    Such an interesting thread. Haven't been an author for long but here goes: Merfolk Diaries is an overambitious and pretentious floating turd the author shat out for relaxation purposes. The narrative is inconsistent and most of the chapters are a mix of fiction and "fun" facts plagiarised from...

    What would you like to see in a Time Travel plot?

    Hmm, being fairly new (but very enthusiastic towards) to the CHYOA, I find the topic really interesting. While reading the comments and turning the question over in my head I fond myself getting stuck in a mental ditch, between the thought of how one would write the first chapter of a time...

    When to cut losses?

    I know For myself, I have a couple of story outlines, backed up somewhere. Years later I looked a them and couldn't barely remember that I'd written them at all. IT was like a different person had written them. But it was fun to look at. And whatever emotions I had tied to them were no longer...

    Double take: hot or horrific?

    I have noticed for myself that if I have a fear of something my dreams tend to put me through it until I build a resistance to it. I also have a tendency about talking to other people or or thinking about it happening. Turning the problem over, and what it would mean concretely if it actually...

    Recommended Reading

    I've been enjoying primarily 4 stories this year, All of them seem to be in the fantasy genre. Aaralon's discoveries I think this is a pretty old story, but It has a lot of branches. While looking at the map might be a bit of a chore just clicking from one decision to the next is really...

    Is there some real life event that inspire authors to write erotica?

    Trust in your feeling, I'd say. It's hard to tell with a lot of things if one was born that way, or if it's a result of the past. I think it can be hard to recognise the latter, and even more so to admit. Most things I that I know about myself were pointed out at first by someone else. Anyway...

    Is there some real life event that inspire authors to write erotica?

    I recognise a lot of what you say. The relationship I was in was pretty complicated, my partner had just been betrayed really badly and hadn't seen it coming at all. They needed a lifeline to hold on to and ground themselves and I was conveniently close , had some things in common (one of those...

    Convo starter- What inspires your stories

    Oh, I'm so going to use this to try to explain what being asexual is about from no on. I was never really bothered, by my orientation - or lack there of - until it started bothering others (heterosexuals for the most part) who couldn't warp their head around the fact that I wasn't like them. A...

    Cringiest Lines in Porn/Erotica?

    For me it's a messing metric I'm not familiar with. The most frequent being feet or inches. It's really distracting to have to wonder how big something may be and if it's even relevant. Sometimes though, if someone gives a measurement which I understand and is a bit too implausibly big, I'm put...

    Is there some real life event that inspire authors to write erotica?

    Most of what I write is purely based on the imagination and a certain curiosity to explore new territory and understand various kinks and attractions. A lot stems from what I've read in other stories. Don't have an abundance of experience, but what I do sucked or was lukewarm. Though I may...

    Rant

    There's been a glitch the last few days concerning the updates of new chapters, so maybe that's go to something to do with it? Though maybe that wouldn't affect a new story... Do the people who asked you about it know it's been published?

    Post bug reports here!

    Come to think of it, I haven't had a single update notice from other stories and author's I follow since this glitch started, even though they tend to have a high output of new published chapters. I think someone else mentioned this above too. I still get notifications when readers fave, like...
