    Change the default name.

    Isn't it a Placeholder for dead people with no identification? I not an English speaker but only saw it used in this context.

    Change the default name.

    what I hate about John doe isn't so much the repetiveness but the fact it isn't a name

    OK, so. Who stole my writing juice? I had a full tank going to sleep and it's empty today. It's not funny guys, I have chapters to write!

    Death to John Doe!

    I Would never do it if it wasn't for the John Doe stories. If the author picks a name I go with it. But John Doe has to die.

    Deleting comments?

    As far as I know there is no way to do it yourself, maybe contacting Friedman would help.

    Change the default name.

    As discussed here people seem to ignore or not care that you can have customizable names and a default name other than John Doe. Having option is awesome, being forced to pick a name or having to read people talk to Mr Doe, breaks immersion. Proposal either just pick something else as...

    Death to John Doe!

    I Knew I wasn't alone, I knew it! An idea could be to have 4 or 5 names and surname and pick them at random if the author doesn't fill any name. And while John could be kept Doe wouldn't.

    Death to John Doe!

    I Made this inflammatory post to remind people that you can leave the customized name system AND pick a default name for your hero. It's awesome to want to let someone pick the name they want, but please have mercy and set another default name once in a while. I can't read a story about...

    The Gamer, Chyoa edition.

    I Messaged you about this, provided it turns out right you could write it. IF I ever go back to branch out I would probably write one without him doing that. But for now I don't want to lose momentum and have to rewrite near identical chapters. I'll focus on the main line for the foreseeable...

    An equally awesome story, but I don't know if it would be as easy to adapt. Incredible to read though.

    other anime/manga/videogame ideas

    my story about the Gamer almost never existed. I was about to start a story about someone stuck into a futuristic vr video game ( like in sword art online) except with a little twist. the player in question is a dirty cheater. he instaled a pirate mod to cheat at this new game. of course either...

    Bots really seem to like coming here to read porn. Can't wait for the singularity if they come to Chyoa for inspiration.

    El Goonish Shive: Meanwhile, back at The Ranch...

    Love the comic even if I have a few months of lag on latest releases (I began reading it from the start to get back in it, damn there's a lot of it.) Are the hero name archetypes or will you do a goonish shive DC universe crossover? I Think the comic has huge potential for a chyoa story with...

    The mystery of the asynchronous readers.

    Brain! Why don't you work correctly? Mystery solved at least for my story. The chapters where the counts goes up are the ones that are in the top chapters. People that are not (yet) readers click on them and get the counter up inverting the natural decrease in views going down the line. It...

    The mystery of the asynchronous readers.

    Sure sounds more reasonable than people skipping chapters. I worked under the assumption that views were counted once (at least for registered users) then even if it worked for them the unregistered users would have their views counted each time (unless there is a thing checking ip adress) It...

    The mystery of the asynchronous readers.

    For the more views than members I always figured that it was just a big population of unregistered readers. IF you're correct (and I'll work under the assumption that you are) then a lot of strange things suddenly make a lot more sense to me. But it gives strange results too, with a lot of...

    The mystery of the asynchronous readers.

    Multiple views from the same reader on the same device are counted on the total views? IF it is so and it also counts the author then I thinks the answer might be comments. I check all comments and reply to most so between me and everyone that commented on the chapter getting notifications it...

    The mystery of the asynchronous readers.

    As authors you are of course familiar with the fact that after the first chapters the number of readers drop. From story to story keeping a fourth of what you had between chapter 1 and 5 past chapter 20 is an accomplishment. Looking at the story map I just noticed something that doesn't make...

    Quest story ideas

    You want to make a game mode story on about the same premise as my story. You can try but I know from experience that game mode stories are hard to write, the addition of conditional stuff breaks the flow of the writing and writing multiple chapters in one feels weird especially when the...

    Niche vs. Broad Appeal

    I Can't seem to be able to write mundane, real world stories for shit. Years of reading both sf/Fantasy and metric tons of comics, Hentai and online erotica always push me towards situation that couldn't reasonably happen in the real world. So I write about things that I find...
