Yes, often based on people encouraging me to add their fetishes which sometimes pique my interest. In one case, you influenced a change in my story based on your comment in Hades University for Men. I was planning a chapter that let the main character leave with their pride intact, but certainly...

Thank you so much! You are always so responsive!

Sorry if this is an impatient question, I have some people see the chapters for my latest story in my activity but they can't see them yet. The story is https://chyoa.com/story/Quaranturned.27669 I just want to be able to give them an estimate, thanks.

I guess I agree with the consensus which is, add what feels appropriate. Sometimes a chapter calls out for an exclamation mark or ellipses or a period. As long as you don't overuse any one piece of punctuation, I think you will be fine. In my mind, it's the window dressing, so if you set the...

So this is just for my own tastes, but I like to skip to the sexy stuff as quick as I can and let the world building form around it. The easiest cheat for this is the "fish out of water". Put some nubile naif as the main character and it fits that they have to learn the rules as they go, often...

My second story has two main protaganists now and 61 chapters so I am curious to see how people think it's progressing. I doubt it will ever be as popular as my first story, but I curious how people find the pacing. There is less broken for good four chapters in and it is decidedly more...

Not to be too graphic but do you ever read your own stories to get off? I find it motivating when I am stuck on a chapter to read my older stories and get turned on by them. What about you?

I definitely go with "glug" with "guh" being an occasional sound effect.

Ah this makes sense. Sorry to point out the quibble then as I do find the story to be fresh, innovative and exciting.

I love the metafictional aspects of it and the emphasis on humor. There is definitely great build up as well. I prefer more detail in sex scenes, but that isn't a total deal breaker. The pov can be difficult to follow but it adds a voyeuristic appeal. My biggest quibble is place holder choices...

For me it has to be using alliteration and assonance anytime I can. I just like the sound of it in my head. I try to write with the sounds of the words in mind and this my favorite way to do it. So much so that I will sometimes get stuck when I can't think of an adjective or adverb that fits and...

I actually do write, edit, and add all my chapters on my phone and without any additional apps. I like the immediacy of it and feel like if I started using a laptop with more features I would get bored with the additional steps added. For me, passion trumps polish, though I do appreciate the...

I have some obscure character names in my story Becoming a Bitch. The Principal is named after the main character in The Principal. Mr. Roberts is a play on Mr. Rogers since he is the neighbor. Mr. Dessad is a sadist like Marquis de Sade. The gym teacher is named after the one from Nightmare on...

Thanks, I am finding a lot of fans in that 5% crowd if my likes based on their profile is any indication. Obviously I agree to whenever possible meld them. And perhaps I am even when I feel it's more story heavy. I am just spitballing about when it's more appropriate to put most focus on nerves...

I had a thought and I'd like to bounce it off some fellow writers. How do you feel about sacrificing sexiness of a chapter in order to drive story or reach a fitting climax? I use my latest chapter as an example https://chyoa.com/chapter/Utterly-and-completely.675560 Now some people might...

I keep asking myself the same question but I think one thing that is popular is chapters that can be jumped into with minimal investment. That said, I think loyal readers really appreciate a chapter that rewards them for following along the whole time. I am sometimes just as happy based on "who"...

I would say that chapter likes can be misleading in a frequently updated story. My most liked chapters all start from the initial branches, with the earliest being the most liked. That doesn't mean they are the most popular with readers that read the full series, just that more people are likely...

https://chyoa.com/story/Becoming-a-bitch.24993 I do see your point. The earlier chapters especially are intended for fans of more quick reads. I have other branches that build over time and it's those I was thinking of in terms of ending. The early chapters will eventually be edited and...

I'm looking for feedback on my story as the comments and likes tell me some about which branches people like, but not why. Also I don't want every branch to go super deep and have a lot of the same stories with just character names, locations, or costume changes. Any thoughts on closing out a...

I want to thank who ever made that happen! This is super exciting for my first story here to be recognized. Thanks so much!
