    Getting views

    Don't make the mistake of obsessing over views and likes. Obsess over favorites instead! :D Seriously though, there's not much you can do about it, other than edit the chapter titles to be more clickbait. I find that (through my own reading habits) that people will tend to read what they deem...

    How do you prefer your Elves? As slaves or masters?

    These are just my thoughts on each option, assuming the usual big-titty and magically inclined elf archetype; 1. Is pretty unrealistic, as a notably strong race like that would probably not tolerate such treatment, though that does open up the possibility that they like it... 2. Actually a...

    My stories, and putting myself in them

    First off, always be careful what you post online, anonymity and safety is always important. Though, from the way you describe it, it sounds like the readers are 'watching from the chair', so to speak. Technically, their opinions matter, but really this is between you and your perverted mind...

    Simple question about ----------

    And I have completly forgotten the text editor includes a literal line break, just like how it makes italics and bold text. Whoops.

    Simple question about ----------

    To actually answer the question, just one will work fine. - Anything to indicate to the reader some sort of break will do for all but the dullest of tools, assuming you did do a decent job of making it clear we are at a different place than a few lines ago.

    Simple question about ----------

    It takes little more than a few extra seconds on any platform that's even remotely user-friendly to just spam the key until the line looks decently long. ---------------------- If that's not an option for whatever reason, try copy-pasting a long dash string from another tab you have open or...

    Intellectual gatekeeping

    I feel like the terminology and actual definition may be seperate points of knowledge in some cases. Example, the aformentioned habeus corpus. I could tell you that in the USA, you are entitled to challenge your believed unlawful jailtime. I could not, however, define the term without context...

    Intellectual gatekeeping

    Minor spelling mistake :( Also, I tried to search up constribalish, and not only did Google and Bing have nothing, but merriam-webster.com thought I was trying to say 'constipated' lmao In essence though, I think after the ever so technical 'this is what's going on here' introduction, the...

    Intellectual gatekeeping

    I'm currently writing something that requires I describe a fairly complicated thing, which while I think I accomplished the task itself relatively well, I realized that some of my readers may not have the prerequisite surrounding knowledge to actually get it. It's not like they really have to...

    What do your characters dress like, and how did you get there?

    To be perfectly honest, sometimes even I don't fully know what my characters look/dress like, bar a few exceptions. Sometimes they'll have a specific aesthetic in mind or a general motif, but even something like 'goth' has about 12 different distinct styles to choose from that you need extensive...

    Writer's barely diguised ______

    Exactly why I don't want it said: I see it enough already, and its kinda the only answer that could possibly rival the disguised fetish in contemporary media.

    Writer's barely diguised ______

    Everyone's heard the phrase "The writer's barely diguised fetish" in regards to some story or movie or whatever. We may even have a few names on the tips of our tounges (currently leaning towards Quentin Tarantino myself). But that phrase doesn't really apply to erotica/smut/etc, because I doubt...

    Censorship backup plans

    Heavy topic, I know, but with the recent policies regarding forking over your ID/face/credit card in order to access the naughtier parts of the web, I think we readers and authors alike unfortunately are going to have consider migrating to other platforms, if push comes to shove. I know I'm not...

    Story map lag

    How large is the story map? Because 100 chapters or less means somethings up, but 10,000 is probably just server lag on CHYOA's part. I don't know too much about coding, but I do know loading in a couple thousand links can be a little more strenuous than your average website.

    New UK Regulations

    I'm... not entirely sure what I'm voting on here...? I speak for anyone without a bottomless pit for a brain when I say we are all against ID checks, but... what's the idea here? What are trying to ask of me?

    Things that almost never happen in CHYOA stories

    Well, see, a character being a hunter or someone who uses a deadly weapon as a mere diplay piece actually says a lot about a character. I do think that not every little detail needs to be relavent a hundred chapters down the line, but knowing how to be quiet and careful in the middle of the...

    AI?

    Unless, of course, you ask. Peer review is an important yet often neglected tool in the department of erotic literature.

    AI?

    I think as long as you (a sentient person) make to sure to properly curate and improve upon the soulless splatters your LLM of choice shits out, you'll be pretty well set. Since you aren't actively typing out the first draft, you can go through it with a better 'reader-like' perspective than...

    Kink Smorgasbord vs. Narrow Focus

    That depemds on if the story spreads out a lot or if the story itself narrows itself into a couple main braches at most. A very branchy story like Lois Lane's Night Out has a lot of potential for exploring different kinks with different situations present across many different branches. A linear...

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

    I think maybe it would be cool if the list turned into a Death Note and then we could auto-kill everyone on it, no additional death or risk of a real-life Kira required.
