I figured I'd ask the crowd! Say you've got a new writing idea and you know a story or two it would fit onto as a branch, but you also think you could set it up as its own story. What sways you one way or another? My own thinking... The obvious positives with a branch: you don't have to do...

I love an unreliable narrator! Perhaps something like one of those classic TV episodes (like the X Files vampire episode) where there are real events but two different characters are recounting the events and it's obvious neither are quite right, like they both emphasize their own proficiencies...

I'm also in the camp that uses all three in different occasions and enjoys them equally! 1st person: good for telling a story that reads like a personal account, especially worth considering if it's a character's "tall tale" that might benefit from their embellishment or their reactions to...

I've been enjoying reading over the entries little by little. It's like a way to get a representative slice of what everyone else usually writes! Very intriguing. Would love to see more contests in the future. Maybe something collaborative next time, like a team contest? That'd be fun!

I personally prefer that all images be credited to their artists or creators. I'd be especially wary of any source that warns others not to use their art for purposes like avatars, character representation, etc. But that said, realistically, I don't think there is anything stopping you from...

Yes, I do some things like that in a few of my game stories! Goodbye Girls, for instance, has dossiers you can check that get filled out with more info as you reach values or milestones of points. You've got the right idea with the if and endif statements already. As for how to create a...

Of course, it'd make me feel discouraged from adding more if the one approving the chapter didn't like it. I wouldn't hold it against them, though. Some people just don't leave likes and, even if they just decided not to on this specifically, they're free to make that choice. For the add...

Christmas Palutena, cover for my gift ENF short story collection. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! And my thanks to everyone who is ridiculously good at drawing and/or writing horny stuff around Christmas time lol

I'm not all the way done with the story yet bit this is right up my alley! It's got action, romance, monster-fucking, powerful women, and even comedy here and there. Plus, the settings and the sexual scenarios are all really vividly described. Really deserves to catch fire, in my opinion! Going...

Helmid, the Paladin Amulette, the witch Rosary, the healer Belit, the ranger (thief?) Bangaal, the sorceress Liens, the inventor They're all the party characters from Squire x Saintess, which I've been writing recently! It's a game-style spinoff of Nuns vs. Knights that you can read here...

I think releasing them as they're done is usually the right strategy for the sake of exposure as you'll get more eyes on it at the front page. The exceptions would be: 1) if it's a game mode story where a person could become trapped on a route instead of being able to loop back to a hub and...

Beyond just negative feedback opening up, I think you'd also get a lot of spamming links and etc. like used to happen on forums in ye olden days. Considering the story owners can't even delete comments right now, I don't see it working out. The part about story maps is good, though!

All depends on how it's done. For game stories, I'd very much second the opinion that I'd want to avoid anything that forces the reader to start all over. The longer the branch, the more vital that becomes. I don't think it respects the reader's time in the average case to loop back to start...

I'd say if they're looking to grow as a for-hire or published writer it would benefit them to make sure their work has an audience. If they aren't, then it's entirely up to them. From the outside looking in, we can look at whatever low numbers they're bringing in or what may seem like stagnant...

Vaarvel from The Goodbye Girls, https://chyoa.com/story/The-Goodbye-Girls%3A-A-Story-of-Subterfuge.28019 . I feel I'm doing more art for my stories than writing for them these days...

A few I did featuring my characters from my branch in Dungeon Building for Beginners! Read the story here if you like: https://chyoa.com/story/Dungeon-Building-For-Beginners.25019

I was recently looking at https://www.inklewriter.com/ as an easy way to write CYOA stories off-site. If you want something more flexible, there's Twine, but it'd probably be harder to learn, especially for children. Unfortunately, the downside of either is that they aren't all collected and...

Here's a couple of Umineko related pics I did recently. I'm batting around the idea of using one of them as my Lust for the Golden Witch cover!

I've had some good experiences with trying out stuff I thought I wouldn't like! Things like futanari, homosexual stuff, crossdressing, and others have all become appealing reading topics to me through the efforts of some really good writers who dedicate themselves to such things. I've definitely...
