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 that an average woman would be happy with ass to pussy or ass to mouth, but I don't know about it being 'deadly'. Love the saliva comment. With...

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 from voting on that point alone. I'm thinking 1 is appalling, 3 acceptable, 5 perfect. This pretty much agrees with your list. My interpretation of...

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 on the forum. In depth descriptions of characters/photos etc can then be referred to to ensure consistency with different authors, without making the...

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.

This would be rather useful for authors contributing to larger stories, especially if the work isn't all their own.

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 characters all at once without some way of distinguishing between them. As you say Patzo, a description the first time the reader encounters these...

Interesting you bring that up Torg. Personally I dislike being informed of a characters breast size in that much detail at all. It just seems weird to me to be that specific. Why not say what their blood type and tax numbers are while you're at it? I tend to avoid physical descriptions of the...

I kind of think that the author should put a little time into helping ensure the reader doesn't have to figure out the meaning of the text. Their role is to enjoy the story. I totally agree. It's kind of like the main character having a 12" penis. While the story is fictional, 12" is still a...

It's quite common that there are threads dedicated to pet peeves, things people hate about various things including in stories. I have quite a few things that annoy me as a reader, and I try to avoid them when I write, but I'm sure there are plenty of other things that annoy people, some of...

It's a bit surprising this hasn't been tried before, at least as far as I'm aware. I do read a limited selection of novels though, almost all of which are sci-fi and 3rd person, so I may be wrong. Perhaps it breaks 'required' sentence structure in correct English grammar? Again I don't know as I...

Very interesting discussion there Kaitou. I do agree it is rather jarring in a first or second person story to suddenly be presented with choices for other characters, with the exception of mind control of course. Personally, I'm much more concerned with grammar and spelling than tense or point...

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 where it'll go, pulling in pieces here and there from other stuff I've written both publically elsewhere and privately, but am also just making it up as I...

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 usually badly written) but perhaps I'll give them a chance again and see if I change my mind. Can you recommend any well written 2nd person stories...

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 1st person, it's clearly defining the reader as the protagonist". I however, couldn't disagree more. For me, 2nd person always feels forced and...

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 user defined gender specific tags. Perhaps allow variable based tags, e.g TagName{option1|option2}Variable(1|2) where Variable has already been defined...

Hi Friedman, have you thought any further about implementing additional story types? Conditional stories would be great. I see some stories where people have essentially attempted to implement them, but they of course require the reader to remember all the variables themselves.

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 (if ever) implementing them by default.
