    Post bug reports here!

    The "Branch Order" dropdown menu in the Story Map (in all stories I've tried) has become unclickable - the bottom two options are faded out, and trying to click on them results in clicking on the branch options that they're supposed to be covering up. I'm on a desktop computer, using Safari...

    Things that almost never happen in CHYOA stories

    I will admit that I did a chapter in which someone -- using an app that alters reality by allowing you to make statements about what's true for a certain percentage of the population -- drastically changed the world for the better: https://chyoa.com/chapter/Creating-the-Future.807173 (In order...

    Things that almost never happen in CHYOA stories

    "Hmm, I've somehow gotten reality-altering powers. Should I use them to have sex with my favorite celebrity?... No, I'm going to solve global warming, end world hunger, and eliminate poverty."

    Where do you find your names?

    In the U.S., "fanny" is the butt, although it's kind of an old-fashioned slang term -- probably most often heard these days in the phrase "fanny pack," which I understand is called "bum bag" in some places.

    Where do you find your names?

    I won't link to it because I don't want to be seen as picking on the author, but there's a new story here which appears to take place in the present and features an 18-year-old woman who the author has given the name... Fanny. That's such an atypical name for someone born in 2005 that it's...

    How the Hell do people write so many chapters in one day?

    One possible answer to the question in the thread title: they didn't write them all in one day, they're just posting them all in one day.

    Travelling from London to Transylvania in the 19th century

    Depending on how, exactly, you imagine a steampunk version of the 19th century, travel times could be a bit faster. Ships could run faster if they're built better and have more advanced engines, and improved construction techniques for railroads could speed up the trains.

    A Question on Shapeshifting and Beastiality

    Heh, this is reminiscent of the immortal alien from one of the "Hitchhiker's Guide" books who is spending its life insulting every intelligent being in the universe in alphabetical order.

    SFW Book club

    I really like fiction that involves alternate realities (as you might have guessed, since a lot of what I write here involves reality changes). Here are some novels along those lines, all from the past few years, that I really enjoyed: * All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai (Earth in 2016 has...

    Grammar/Content Police: Stuff that drives you crazy/common mistakes to avoid

    "Discreet" means secret. "Discrete" means separate.

    Most Obscure Reference you've ever used...

    Assuming you mean the flute had various signs and symbols carved into it, that should be "carved with runes." (Or even "covered in runes.")

    Are there any details about a story's author that raise Red Flags?

    I've been using the username "catfish" or "catfish27" (on any site I don't want connected to my "real-life" identity) since before the term "catfishing" was coined. As my avatar may make clear, it's a reference to this baseball player.

    Erotic Earth - Sexy Scene Ideas That Are Not Big Enough To Write A Whole Story About

    As an alternative to this, one "erotic Earth" idea I've had is that "wedding rings" are in the form of chokers/collars that get put on during the marriage ceremony. (Both parties, or just one, depending on your particular interests.)

    Gaining life span with sex

    If you want to see a mainstream take on the subject, the "social points" idea was depicted in an episode of the Netflix show "Black Mirror" called "Nosedive." (Although as you might expect, it didn't really deal with the sexual aspect of things.) Thinking about "In Time," which I have seen...

    Looking for some critique and feedback on a story I'm developing.

    Below is a quick edit for grammar, spelling, and whatnot. There are two additional things to think about that I didn't really change: 1. You say they're having sex "on top of the car," with the man kneeling behind the woman who's on all fours -- do you mean they're on the roof of the car? How...

    Plucking daisies

    Either way, it's better than pushing up daisies.

    Does anyone else treat erotica writing like an occupation?

    If only I could get paid for erotica writing (and editing) as much as I can at my day job.

    When should half-assing be allowed?

    Or take advantage of the nature of this site and have a chapter break fall at the end of a scene.
