Thanks, that's what this is here for. It's fun to rant, but I hope we all learn to improve as a result. I do agree that it's a bit unbelievable...
I'd suggest that if a story isn't of interest to a reader, but they're aware others might like the topic etc that they probably should refrain...
Perhaps an authors notes thread from the first page is a good idea in collaborative stories, or alternatively a mention/link to the story thread...
2 should also be: The story is okay, but the grammar/spelling needs serious work.
I see... short term a rating guide like yours in each story might be a good idea.
I know what you mean, my first story has 5000 views so far and no ratings at all.

Some description such as striking features are probably a good idea. I know I do find it hard to follow stories that introduce more than four or...

So, I've started writing my first own interactive story on Chyoa and I wondered what people think so far. I do have somewhat of an idea as to...
Thanks for that. :-) I might have to try reading more 2nd person stories. I generally stop reading them immediately as I find them annoying (and...
There's some interesting points of view here, some of which totally conflict with my own. Kaitou says "2nd person is the true immersion. Unlike...
That's an awesome idea. I second this. You may want to have tags for genitalia too then such as {cock|pussy}, or just have the ability to have...
Hi Friedman, have you thought any further about implementing additional story types? Conditional stories would be great. I see some stories where...
This would be a great idea. I also like the idea of Chyoa Labs so we can experiment with some new features to see if they work in practice before...
