This is definitely over ambitious but I wanted to write an original story set at the end end of the 18th century when clothes were fairly simple so none of that whole Victorian palava of taking half an hour to dress/undress. It is going to be well over 100 chapters and is here...

In my story The Trials of Priscilla and Abigail Hawksby – A Gothic Adventure I added a chapter A Wooden Education to https://chyoa.com/chapter/Pain-and-Pleasure.248207 but after saving it, it appears to have duplicated so there are now 8 copies. Like 'Highlander', there should be only one...

I have different passwords for the main site and the forum. I don't want different passwords. It's just that if I'm on the forum and click down to the password option, changing the password only changes the password to the main site. So I'm stuck with password on the forum which I can't remember...

I'm not dead just preoccupied. I was 2 chapters away from concluding Part 3 of my hellfire story when I just became too obsessed with something else. TBH it was tough to know just how far to take the final scenes together with the realisation that my planned sunbathing scenes would be taking...

I dream all the time - I theorise that it might be do with my dodgy breathing which wakes me frequently unless I am on my back - most are not good but nevertheless I would miss them. I remember many of them even the ones I had from childhood usually nightmares inspired by film and TV, but I...

Can't help feeling there's been a topic on this before, so if I have missed it (and I probably posted on it), my apologies. My current story is set the end of the 18th century and I made conscious decision to use more modern speech and avoid references to 18th century language although I have...

Word of warning: One of my mates, a computer professional, has just installed Windows 10. It took him several attempts and wiped his HD, so be careful and make sure you back up anything. I'm leaving it a couple of months.

No this isn't a dietary problem but in my story I have stone which ways about 100 kg (220 lbs) and I think I need to get 4 men to lift it and carry it to a horse drawn carriage - in addition the terrain is somewhat hilly.It almost feels like this would be too difficult to transport. Assuming it...

I was just writing a confrontational scene which I had envisaged going a particular way and then it escalated into someone firing a pistol which I never anticipated but the character doing it would have done precisely that, possibly worse, so I just let him take over. I can't imagine the answer...

In LOTR, Tolkien puts concurrent stories in different books Book 3 follows the rump of the fellowship and its battle against Saruman. Book 4 follows the ring bearer and his battle with Sauron. In my story an event causes 3 groups of characters to take 3 different paths. This might be a...

Is there any way to raise the profile of the forums in particular? I often find there are more robots than members on the forums. Wikipedia has an entry for Literotica which links to the literotica page and chyoo.com but not this site. Maybe there's a reason for that. Any more ideas?

I'd like to post a separate thread on Cockshoots Hall - Inspirational Pictures. I've added a thread on the actual story but links are not always reliable and if I could post more in the Forums it would be better as I could directly upload the pictures. However I am not sure which forum to post...

I should really migrate the thread from Story Ideas because it is more than an idea now. The thread with most of the story details is currently here: http://forum.chyoa.com/threads/cockshoots-hall.268/ Specifically to bladeray001, I answered Patzo's question in that thread ... she had to hurry...

Rather than explain everything in great detail, I would really like to create a floor plan for Cockshoots Hall. All the free online tools don't let you save to an image file as far as I know and there does not seem to be a practical way in Office. And don't say MS Paint, that's worse than...

Here are my ideas for the Downton Abbey like setup talked about here: http://forum.chyoa.com/threads/researching-stories.264/ And is now realised here: http://chyoa.com/story/cockshoots-hall-great-house-of-love/cover I shall start by describing the location and the family. I have mind to...

I've been thinking about this story for a while. 3 sisters have been brought up in isolation by their wealthy father in late 18th century England. As he is clueless about how to cope with children he has always disciplined them by spanking and one or two of them grown to like it. At the start...

Can't think of one at the moment but I would really like to write a story about Emma Peel from The Avengers. She is beautiful, a skilled martial artist, independently wealthy, a talented artist, a writer of scientific papers and a bona fide genius with a penchant for older men. Her hobby is...

Not sure if this should not be on the authors' board but I wondered who people's favourite novelists are. Mine are mainly from sci-fi and fantasy: JRR Tolkein (of course) Isaac Asimov Gene Wolfe Frank Herbert (for the first 4 Dune books) Arthur C. Clarke Umberto Eco Douglas Adams Terry...

OK not one that would be published or even publishable, but "Decameron XXX" is now over 50,000 words!!! If it were really a novel, I would have to put it through several rewrites, improve the standard of almost everything, tone things down a bit, and hand it over to a professional proof reader...

Just had idea set in Middle Earth (maybe a few years before things got serious with Sauron) in which a relatively new type of creatures the Knobbits have populated a region in the North West known as The Wire where they smoke some really strong weed. These creatures are like miniature elves with...
