Allow chapters to be marked as endings. This would allow whole stories to be advertised as "completed" by checking for ending chapters. It could also be utilised to prevent children being added to a chapter by other users where they otherwise freely could, i.e. on public stories. This could...

I think enumerations would be useful in game mode stories, particularly to track states that cannot be represented by booleans. I realise this is perfectly achievable with integer variables, but for that reason, I assume it would be a fairly simple implementation. For those who don't know, an...

There's been a couple of incidents recently where users have been effectively stuck with another user's story. Currently, only owners and moderators are able to remove authors from stories, meaning that it's possible for someone to force another user to join their story. It is also generally...

Hello, writers of Game Mode stories. I've been thinking about flags and tracking numbers (among other variables) that are used to trigger future events. Some stories that use these prefer to hide them as much as possible. I suppose this is in order to allow for 'easter eggs' and other secret or...

I've tried to identify common key features of stories, especially how they are...

hello. just looking for feedback on my new-ish story here. it has 100 chapters but its usually only 15-20 to get to the end/where i've written so far and each chapter is about a few paragraphs. looking for comments on my writing style, ideas etc.

my story Darkest Challenges displays 111 chapters, but i count 83 in total, including links. not sure how normal this problem is but i would like it to be accurate. its been like this for a little while, might be because i drafted the first 23 chapters (objectives 1-3) before i uploaded the...
