    If you had three wishes, what would you use them for?

    If you're gonna do that, why not just wish for a Death Note book and write his name in it?

    If you had three wishes, what would you use them for?

    GyroscopicGraphite brought up an interesting point. Say you had a standard genie in a bottle scenario. Three wishes, the following rules: no obtaining more wishes from the wishes no altering the past no compound wishes Other than that, no rules. Nothing you wish can get the genie to say...

    How do you handle the Gay Fanfiction Problem?

    And nothing inherently wrong with that but that doesn't work for differentiating characters lol

    Oof; try excedrin? Might be a bit strong for a headache, and you'll want to have some food with it but worth a shot; probably a bit late now but worth remembering for next time.

    Getting people to read your story

    You'd be surprised at the minor errors you make while writing the first draft of something, let it marinade is the best advice I've seen on this site in a long time. I was skeptical at first, but it's proven itself to be reliable for me. Interestingly, outright sex scenes rarely have such errors...

    How do you handle the Gay Fanfiction Problem?

    My personal recommendation is to use one of the following solutions: use second or first person narrative: works when one of the individuals is the narrator use a pronoun for one and name or nickname for the one you wish to use emphatically: works when it is clear which two characters are being...

    @TheLowKing I mean it's mostly a humorous joke that women should find humor in when reading due to real life clothes - I know I would (then again, I specifically seek out dresses with pockets: half of mine have them)

    Things that almost never happen in CHYOA stories

    Also if you don't include mention of it you can pretend, just briefly, that they don't exist.

    Things that almost never happen in CHYOA stories

    Yesterday I saw this and chuckled at the large-part truth to it. Upon reflection, I realized why we don't include such things in our stories. In the ttrpg world, the DM and players will frequently do something referred to as handwaving: unless something is relevant to the story, it is omitted...

    @Elfie ya, my wife is who I keep on keeping on for, and I'm part of an intersex support group that I attend meetings of. Thankfully I'm able to start writing again though lol

    @Elfie physically unharmed; emotionally, I'm in perpetual existential terror. Genuine sex-based attacks (rather than gender-based attacks or presentation-based attacks, which the vast majority of sexism is) are not fun to experience, especially at the macro scale (micro scale not fun either - f...

    Enough politics, though, and apologies if this caused anyone to focus on something they didn't want to. I'm now back to working on my big story albeit a bit slower than I had been, as I'm currently doing a lot of prep work for a ttrpg campaign I'm running IRL for my wife in the mornings. (3/3)

    explicitly targeting intersex people it's like my body kinda shut down. Still terrified, but no longer in a superposition of hypersexual and hyposexual with hyposexual winning out. Now I'm in a superposition of hypersexual and hyposexual with hypersexual winning out. (2/3)
