    Are the ideas I am imagining acceptable?

    To expand on the second question, you would use a link chapter to make the paths merge. It's a common setup, no worries on that score.

    Who, in your life, knows about your erotic writings?

    My wife knows I write erotica, and she's read some of it. One particularly godawful phrase I used in one of my earlier stories has become a running joke. For the most part though, she's not interested in written erotica and I don't tend to write things I'd want to do with her.

    Cool, I'll circle back in a few months when I'm eligible again.

    Ironically one of the stories in my profile is one where I was added without warning. And it's ABOUT the Mafia.

    Marcie and Gina read CHYOA

    What about a story where the original owner deleted their account? I have a branch of 12 Hours to Please that starts with chapter 3. Also, it's awful so there's a lot for the ladies to work with.

    Organize your chapters by story, included posts on other people's stories

    Bumping this because I like the idea. I'm wondering if it would be easier to just have a "Contributor" title the same as "Author, Editor, and Owner." It would apply to anyone who had an approved chapter on a story, and it would make the story appear on the poster's profile page but otherwise...

    How long should a chapter be?

    I'd enjoy that, but TBH it should be a TWINE game. Easier to navigage

    Bad Sex Development Thread

    Is this related to your comment on my Marcie & Gina review? Because if I helped inspire a terrible sex CHYOA (even in the tiniest way), I would be so proud.

    Advanced Fantasy

    Ok so I've read through your Centaur branch since that's the newest one you've put up. Keeping in mind that I'm just one reader, my thought is that there's room for improvement if the chapters show more and tell less. You have a good eye for detail and I want more of it. A couple examples: A...

    How long should a chapter be?

    This is a pretty common discussion topic: https://forum.chyoa.com/threads/long-chapters-or-lots-of-breaks.4590/ It really depends. Although I prefer longer chapters I've personally found my own feel too long anywhere between 3800-4000 words. 8000 is a huge stretch even for me.

    How do you know if people actually like your work

    A follower sees every chapter you post regardless of what story it is in, a Favorite on a story sees every chapter posted on that story regardless of who does it. A bookmark pops up in the author's notifications, but isn't publicly posted (same as a favorite). I think some users treat it like...

    Advanced Fantasy

    I guess success is defined by one's own ambition, but here's a comparison: Advanced Fantasy is currently 50th in the Fantasy category if you sort by Likes (called "Rating") out of over 2300 stories. Fantasy being one of the larger categories. Many of the ones ahead of it are either multi-author...

    Is there something specific you want feedback or guidance on? Your story is hugely successful, so whatever you're doing - it is working.

    Story of the week: thanks!

    If you could use the tags to jump right to the tagged chapter I'd keep it up, but otherwise I agree

    Accept your own Posts?

    That happened to me. When I "accepted" the post it triggered a notification to my followers and appeared in my feed, but the story was not available.

    How do you know if people actually like your work

    This is a free site and you're doing this in your spare time, no one owes you anything and correspondingly neither do you owe them anything. But this is good. People have no obligation to read or like anything they don't want to, they're not trying to brownnose or seduce you. So you have no...

    Story Challenge: Rule of 3

    The only story I've seen that pulled this off was Breaking the Amazon, and even then the story is rather straightforward. The Choices just dictate the how, not really diverging the plot significantly. (Not a criticism, the story is great)

    It is, but the good news is that you only have to do it until you die.

    Do chores before you play, exercise, pay your savings first, don't drink calories, get full night's of sleep. Most of it flows from there.
