Right now you can only set a story to have one POV (1st, 2nd, 3rd). It would be convenient to be able to set multiple or have a multiple setting, since especially in larger stories different authors (or even the same author in different branches can use different POVs. Either that or just change...

I noticed comments were moved from the sidebar to beneath the chapter. On the one hand, for longer comments and long chains, this is better. However I find it harder to tell at a glance if there are new comments to look at now. Also, if I am writing new stuff or just passing through to...

There is a button on the top bar labeled "Favorites" with the star icon, which has inside of it both favorites and bookmarks. This is not clear, and thus users might think that only favorites are there and they need to use the dropdown to access bookmarks (an impression enhanced by the dropdown...

Some really popular stories are getting so big that it's becoming hard to read them, as well as difficult to manage them for writers/editors. Stories like Sexual Privilege (https://chyoa.com/story/Sexual-Privilege.13397) have so many threads and are so deep in places that it's hard to find...

It appears there are several locations where, if you hit enter, it publishes the chapter instantly instead of moving down. I keep having to delete my drafts and recopy them to remove the accidental publishing when I just meant to edit the draft. Especially bad if this happens in the middle of an...

I am summarizing feature requests/suggestions/feedback that have been conveyed to me. "Mark all as Unread" button, for rereading Edit and delete comments (some people say they won't write comments because being unable to fix the spelling errors is driving them crazy. Others want to remove...

I am hearing some comments on issues with embedding gif-type images. "Only problems I have encountered so far are limited to my newest caption that’s based on a gif/mp4. I needed quite a bit of time to find a working link - imgur didn’t work at all and giphy only as a gif in non html5. Also...

I am noticing a marked drop off in interest (based on views, likes and comments) as I get deeper into this story. I realize it's deeper than most stories on the site (and my attempts to get more authors involved for branches haven't worked so far). I have an actual story planned out which is...

The current way the story map handles very deep stories is problematic. Running off the right side and expecting people to scroll horizontally this is not ideal. We need a cleaner way to handle this. Possible suggestions: Change the indent per level to half the size if the number story gets...

The way saving works currently is unsafe. If you hit back (or in some browsers if backspace registers as hitting back), then the site loses everything you have entered since the last time you hit save. Hitting save exits edit mode and you have to re-enter it to continue, making hitting it...

I know it's rather late, but would people be interested in a Tumblr Apocalypse shelter story? This would be specifically for people to repost their Tumblr content (stories, captions, etc) so it's not gone/inaccessible (tumblr banned a LOT of accounts, so many people can't get into tumblr at all...

I know it's a bit off topic, but does anyone know of a way to make a complete backup of Tumblr likes? I would like to get things off of Tumblr before they nuke the site. I need something that can handle full posts (text and images/media as a unit) rather than just pictures, which is most of what...

After much consideration, I have put the outline for "A Life Once Wished For" up. As some of you may know, I have for some time (Several years) not had the time to do much writing, beyond very short bursts. As such, this story, which was originally going to be my epic, has been left by the...

This has been mentioned a few times to me, mostly in PMs, reddit conversations and other places, but I want to get a sense of how many people are interested/concerned, how important this is, and what features people would want so we can see if it is worth time to implement. Currently, you can...

In response to feedback, an option to make minor edits (for spelling corrections, formatting repairs, variable fixes, etc.) has been added. This should be used only in cases where the content of the chapter is not changed. When this is used, the chapter will not be flagged as 'updated' (blue) in...

I just took over Amulet from the long departed bt127. Check it out and feel free to contribute, although keep in mind it's going to take me a few days to go through everything that is already waiting. https://chyoa.com/chapter/Introduction.6390

We really need an internal messaging system. I just replied to several comments on my stories which were really questions by people thinking of contributing by leaving another comment. But because I left a comment on my own story, I get the notification and they get nothing, so they will...

We have several stories coming in or awaiting approval that are literally just existent stories restarted. Should we be doing this, or insisting that people use stories that already in existence? I'm worried that letting these reboot stories through constitutes abandoning the interactive story...
