    Show locked choices?

    I lean towards showing them. Unless a reader is looking in the story map (which is a whole issue), they wouldn't even know there was another option to try. And if your story gets bugged, such that no option is valid, they might just think it dead ends and stop.

    Marcie and Gina read CHYOA

    If Al fucked in my story I think Gina would have jumped through a pane glass window.

    Marcie and Gina read CHYOA

    The only gaping asshole is Al, so I think we're good then.

    Marcie and Gina read CHYOA

    Ok Al and Ruby put up their response. Maybe not my best work, but exactly as much effort as Marcie and Gina deserve ;)

    Big changes to society

    It seems like those men would either become lords of their own sexual fiefdoms or be completely overrun by the others.

    There's also a discord channel, so most of the talkative types are on there as well.

    Audio Recordings - How'd I do?

    I got a similar vibe to Impregmaniac, it felt a little rushed and businesslike, but I also thought that was the point. They're both doing it for work. The dialogue at the end, though, where Matt and Alice make a date doesn't really fit IMO. Matt's done almost nothing through the scene that...

    Have you had any of these thoughts?

    I've had 2 when I was involved in a collab situation and the other author checked out for whatever reason. But I think I've only had like 2 or 3 chapters ever posted to my branches by folks outside of that scenario, so I certainly can't wait on it.

    It sounds like you have publisher's block, not writer's block.

    IME the key is treat composing and editing as two distinct tasks. Just write the plot out with no flourish, minimal descriptions, and raw dialogue, just to get it on paper. THEN edit in all the context you want and work on pacing. Trying to do both at once slows my pace to a crawl and then I...

    Newsfeed Improvement

    I'd be ok with the news feed showing likes if it was curated at all. Perhaps likes of my followers and those who I follow.

    Is it better to attempt to write believeable characters, or perfect self-inserts?

    There's only a story if the protagonist wants something and can't immediately have it. Either its something beyond their ability or its something their abilities cannot help with. You can have a superhuman stud as your protag, but the story needs to be about the one woman immune to his charm, or...

    When the Consciousness takes a back seat

    Are you asking which story to do a fanfic of? There are a ton with this premise or something like it: Being John Malkovich, Gamer, Get Out, Peacemaker, etc...

    Fantasy idea I'm halfway there on but could use some help with

    I'll be honest, this project seems way beyond the bounds of CHYOA. I think you'd be better served looking into TWINE or Rpgmaker or something similar to handle that scope.

    Big changes to society

    I think the biggest immediate response is that people would recognize that someone has reality-altering power and immediately start searching for and attempting to control that person. If Tom *wasn't* obviously changed, he'd be the world's most wanted man.

    Feedback for The Witch's Spellbook

    Ok so I read the alternate start (Aga possesses Helen). Overall its very well-written and the scenes are structured well. I'm struggling to connect with the characters though, as both Aga and Adam are pretty reprehensible. I'm most interested in Helen's state of mind as she deals with someone...

    Info Dumps vs. Proper Nouns

    You dropped a paragraph from your post about info dumps... because it was turning into an info dump?

    Threads approval reports

    I published the story Deep Cover this afternoon (https://chyoa.com/story/Deep-Cover.46376), and its listed as In Review. That makes sense, I understand you have to review first. However, it popped up in my recent activity and apparently pinged my followers, so a few folks have asked what...
