This. It's sometimes annoying to see a story with a hundred chapters in depth but they're all, like five sentences long.
The key here is relatively new. Suspicious that a Boston-based traditional / bluegrass music quartet happens to show up at this precise time......
This is actually a really good example. I'd use first-person here, mainly because the benefits of second-person are lost. Either way, you're right...
Good question. Second-person would be downright sinful in a normal linear story - there's a reason you've probably never seen it (well, maybe you...
Corunner, you are being aggressive, pedantic, and frankly, quite rude. I have no idea what your emotional stake in this issue is (nor even your...
(I should clarify that this post is exclusively directed at Corunner.) Obviously what I say is my opinion; the fact that my opinion is, in fact,...

Yes, that's all correct, but the best choice of perspective in this scenario is third-person. There is no reason to use any other perspective. As...
Wow, that's some really high level thinking. I balk after third dimension.
Here, I would write in third-person. First- and second-person affects the logic of branching points, as I've discussed at length above....
Why? Of course you're under no obligation to explain yourself, but if you don't, nobody is going to do what you say.
This seems to be the statement upon which we primarily disagree. In my opinion, a reasonably well-written interactive story will be designed such...
Whore of the Dragon has warnings in the chapter title for fetishes that are coming up. That seems like it would work well for most stories.
It's not that one way is correct - more that it's logical. It makes no sense for 'you' to have the ability to control everything if it's not...
Interesting stuff. I wonder if the whole 'fish bowl' thing might help explain the prevalence of mind control stories. Perhaps a lot of people...
I have the same issues - well, 2 and 3, at least - with my own game story. I guess the thing that keeps me going is the knowledge that I'm...
You may wish to clarify for others - are you offering a paid proofreading service or are you doing it for free?
This is true and very important, though I would add that if a story is years-long abandoned (as opposed to simply finished) the author likely...
Like others here, the inspiration for my stories stems from a combination of DnD and a desire to create the things I wish already existed - or, at...
Do you mean in terms of rules? You can write whatever you want*. AFAIK, just don't actively copy-paste any of the original author's work without...
