I just saw Friedman's post on the new SubscribeStar account. There is a free tier if you want to go check it out :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve. Hopefully this year will be better than the last :)

I've never used them and wouldn't know where to start if they didn't scare the crap out of me :/

For US peeps with student loans, President Biden tweeted last night that the payment pause has been extended to June 30, 2023.

Today is the midterm election in the US. I just kinda feel I should remind folks in case they forgot :)

I'd just finished reading something on Literotica and decided to check out the links page. CHYOA was there and I thought it sounded cool. Now I spend far more time here than there. I'd love a way to exclude stories with certain tags/topics. I respect the fact lots of folks are into stuff I'm...

It looks like the federal student loan website has rolled out a "Beta Launch" of the loan forgiveness application for those interested.

The search here works for me the vast majority of the time. I'll admit I've used a Google search on occasion though. I know a lot more about the search options I have there to drill down into results. CHYOA's search isn't perfect but it's a decent basic engine.

I think it depends on style and the type of story. In a tale heavy on presenting choices to a reader for example, it should probably depend on what happened as a result of the last choice and how much description it takes to set up the next one. I tend to settle in at about 750-1,500 words per...

I think a lot of folks 'self insert' to one degree or another. I don't think that's a problem at all so long as all the rules are followed. I would be careful how much I shared though. The internet never forgets. Happy writing, whatever you decide to do :)

I have to admit. It's an amazing feeling when out of the blue, I get a like on a chapter I wrote 9 months ago :)

It did for me in the beginning but I got used to it after a while. I just had to remind myself that the bookmarks and favorites were better than a like. It let me know someone was interested enough the story to want a notification it was updated. That meant folks enjoyed reading it and wanted...

Toward the end of my last burst of writing, I did a lot of 'forcing' chapters because I wanted to add to stuff for readers and it burned me out something fierce. Sadly it's left me in a position where I dread picking anything back up because it left such a bad taste in my mouth. The feeling...

I'm glad for this policy. I'm sure it exists at least partially for legal reasons but I think it's a good one ethically too. That's good to know. Makes me doubly happy I prefer to stick to imaginary characters :)

I don't find it either. That one just looks so fake to me, that it took me a minute to register what they were trying to do there. That said, I normally move on the moment I see a photoshop in a story. Something about the 'good' ones just rubs me the wrong way.
