I never got quite that many, but that's why I turned like and bookmark notifications off. I'm not wading through that every time I visit CHYOA....
When this happens to me, it's almost always a sign I'm taking the story in the wrong direction. It usually starts with "OK, I just have to write...
All characters read as Unicode on the site (and everywhere else that uses Unicode). An emoji is just a character, no different from 'A', or 'ð' or...
One more exception: you should post the first few chapters in one go, so that people have a chance to get into the story.
Happy birthday, CHYOA! :D
It would be helpful to link the story. ;) https://chyoa.com/story/Mind-and-Body-Control-Ring.58624
Look for public stories instead of moderated ones. For public stories, the owner doesn't have to give their permission.
But it would sure be suspicious if 17 names that I made up myself for specifically my fantasy story, names that I specifically made sure no one...
If you upload something by accident that's not allowed on the site, it'll get deleted. If you upload something that is allowed, but the rules...
Marsalad made a separate thread where they said they haven't contacted the story owner. That seems to me like it should be the first step.

A lot of the issues you've mentioned are things that stem from you as writer. If your kinks have changed, going back to an old story might just be...
This sounds vaguely familiar. I remember a story where a mother and daughter who hate each other swap bodies, and each engages in increasingly...
I stopped reading here. I try very hard to avoid being rude to people in online discussions, because the world is shitty enough as it is, but I'm...
As an author, I do have the right to choose who does or doesn't get to use my work and in what way. That's what copyright is. You're right, there...
Yeah, the people making the laws also don't understand the difference between reality and fiction. :P
I'm sorry to tell you, but it almost certainly is. Not by CHYOA or Friedman, but our work is routinely crawled by bots, just like any other text...
This sounds fine to me. Something like: {if@ a>100000}WARNING: This story only makes sense when you enable game mode{endif}[chapter content] Just...
Banning ABDL I can vaguely understand, even if I disagree with it. A lot of people are super sensitive to anything that might even remotely in the...
Separate names with a comma.
