No, the best is when they start speculating about some forthcoming twist and it's way better than what you had planned. "Uhhhh...yes, dear reader... you have uncovered my genius plan."

Was it Freedonia? It's not explicitly African, but there is a branch plot with a reporter visiting.

In theory, no CHYOA story is ever *finished* because someone could come along and add another branching point. That said, CHYOA's interface pushes stories to the front page when they have an update, so completed stories unfortunately tend to be harder to find than currently active ones. Your...

That sounds like the main branch of the Spiral of a Curse. https://chyoa.com/story/The-Spiral-of-a-Curse.36727

You'll need five chapters: 1 - You see a pole. Do you walk around it to the left or right. -> Two options, Left [2] or Right [3] 2 - You walk around it to the left -> One option [4], You're now on the other side of the pole. 3 - You walk around it to the right - > One option [5], Linking...

An author has the option to make their story open (any one can post), moderated (they have to approve), or private (no one can add but them). If they allow submissions, I think that *is* their permission. Unless you are doing something extreme like killing off the main character or working in...

Just noticed the little tickers in the CHYOA opening blurb said we were at 1,000,167 chapters now. Which one was the magic millionth one?

The simplest way is just to, in the chapter itself, describe the options and then explain in the comments or in meta text that you don't intend to write all of them and the rest are open to other authors. There are convoluted ways to get close to what you're asking, but they would be way less...

There was a girl in my son's daycare named "Khaleesi" who was obviously named well before the final season...

If you want to keep this true to the spirit of the original game, each player should be limited to 8 stock phrases and a handful of emotes.

Focus on the specific thing you need the scene to accomplish and then try to come up with a different way to get there. Stripping the scene to its basics might open up an alternate way of presenting it. My current story uses pretty rigid 1 POV at a time structure, so sometimes I try it from...

Building off of this, stories where the Owner just flatly expects other people to do the writing for them bug me endlessly. So many stubs are just "You are dropped into your favorite [X] Universe" and its just lists of characters they want others to highlight.

For which they won't know the safewords.

This category appeared a week ago when the site changes occurred but it does not appear to be a rename of an existing category. Right now there's only one story in it. What is "Party Time" meant for?

I like the premise (It's very similar to Empowered! which you and everyone should absolutely read IMO), but I'm not sure about giving this from the POV of the boyfriend. He's not present for most of the interesting stuff, and he's kind of unlikeable so I'd prefer to see more of her story through...

Not from the chapters tab of your personal page. You *can* see the # of comments from the story map, but for a massive one like Submission Accelerator that might be difficult to find. If you go to Notification Settings for your account, you can check a box to receive a notification every time...

Hi all, Harem Hotel is in one of the now-restricted categories, so if you were following it and noticed that it disappeared - it is not gone. If you get your account upgraded you should be able to see it again. Alternatively, several of the authors have launched a discord for the story here...

Yes, Friedman made some rather abrupt changes on the 4th and hasn't fully elaborated on the why yet.

https://chyoa.com/category/mind-control The category link in here but if you can't see them despite following your own history, you'll need to ask Friedman to allow access I believe.
