I've used them on rare occasions. Usually when I give up after failing to figure out out how to properly describe an outfit. I don't mind them.

I've written a handful of bad endings and each time it made people sad. I only know this because people who never commented before went out of their way to leave a comment about how sad it made them. :)

I love this Twitter thread about "Plotters vs. Pantsers." https://twitter.com/DSilvermint/status/1125856091261136896 Basically: "Plotters create a fairly detailed outline before they commit a single word to the page. Pantsers discover the story as they write it, often treating the first draft...

I agree. I typically deal with breasts the way you suggest but I've been struggling with a chapter that might require bra shopping. That led to a downward spiral of trying to understand bra sizes and wondering if I've ever accurately portrayed breasts. This thread helped stop me from continuing...

Now I'm sad. I didn't mean to make them expand to the point where everyone in the room was suffocated.

*thinks about the size of a basketball* your statement tracks with reality

These are valid points. I wonder if sports balls are more accurate because of consistency? (Baseball, softball, basketball, etc.)

Okay, wow, thank you to everyone. This is great advice (big thanks to @gene.sis ) and makes me feel more secure about avoiding bra sizes completely. I was worried it would make my stories less realistic (BECAUSE THEY ARE SO VERY REALISTIC) if I didn't have my female characters discussing sizes...

Okay, I need help understanding bra sizes. I've googled and researched but I still can't wrap my head around how to write about bras properly. I know having a DD cup doesn't necessarily mean someone will appear to have large breasts. The truth lies somewhere in the band + cup size. I think...

Maybe I'll take a swing at an all future tense story.

Do you write a chapter and post right away or do you write several chapters and slowly post over days? What's your posting strategy? I've been trying to always have three or four chapters in my back pocket, so if I get busy I don't leave readers hanging for too long.

I caught myself doing this, too, especially with "moan" and "groan." I'm trying to throw in more "gasps" and "whimpers."

I'm not sure. I think it might be because for more than a decade my day job was journalism. Most reporting is written in the past tense, so it might be old habits and training. Drives me crazy. I'll reread a chapter and will have started off in the present but by the end, I'm back to past tense...

Oh, and: I feel bad that I've been active on CHYOA for six years but rarely post on the forums.

I suck at editing myself. I've been getting better but wish I could go back to my first story on CHYOA and edit the entire thing (it would take too long) I default to past tense. It drives me crazy. I've been struggling with it for my entire life and haven't been able to train myself out of it...

I can't speak for everyone but I think some of us are published writers? What I write on CHYOA and other erotica sites is purely for fun. I'd rather keep it anonymous than risk someone tracking me down through a payment trail and losing writing gigs because potential clients might think I'm a...

Only now discovering this message board. Neat feature!

I clicked "bi" but personally identify as "omnisexual." As Karla Pacheco once said "I sorta wish omnisexual was a more commonly used term because it makes me sound like the Galactus of Fucking, and that's pretty much what I'm going for."

This isn't a terrible idea. I discovered Chyoo back in the day thanks to Reddit. Nothing wrong with extra promotion possibly bringing in more readers and writers.
