    Hey guys, Durzan here!

    I'm looking for people willing to collaborate with me (in general). I'm willing to discuss and give feedback/suggestions on any ideas you may have for my story (7 Days of Incest, #ShamelessPlug), one of your stories (assuming it fits along with my broad interests), or any ideas you have for a new collaborative story you think I might be interested in participating in.

    One of my strengths is that I am super good at acting as a sounding board for ideas; conversely, when I have someone to spitball ideas off of, I can come up with several possibilities that may fit with your vision of a story.

    I'm also trying to put together a think tank on discord for authors who are interested in creating sexy stories with actual plot and characterization behind them, as well as contributing chapters and/or behind the scenes suggestions with each other. The idea is that we become a team who work together to improve, support and promote each other's work and by doing so we improve and expand our own abilities as authors.

    Anybody who's interested, feel free to post here or just click the link below, as the
    Discord Server is now open. Consider joining if you are interested in interacting and collaborating with me regularly! I am particularly interested in those who are interested in creating sexy stories that actually have some real plotlines and character development going on behind them.

    Discord Link:

    Update 1: So far we have 8 authors in total on the server, most of which are fairly active depending on the time of day. However, we are all guys. I dunno about you, but as much as I like discussing smut with bros, I actually think it'd be kinda nice to hear the perspective and opinion of a few women as well.

    Ladies, your input and collaboration would be most appreciated, particularly since the one thing in common we all have is the desire to be serious about writing "porn with plot" (the storyline kind that is), as many would say. Since you probably view the world of sex & erotica from a significantly different perspective than us men, your opinions and participation would prove invaluable. IMO, your perspective on writing in general (and writing sex for that matter), as well as writing female characters, is worth taking into consideration on our projects. Likewise, I would love to collaborate with you, especially if you love a CYOA for the good plotline as well as good sex scenes.

    Update 2: We are also looking for those of you who love making fan art for stories. We are curious to know what interesting creations you can come up with for some of the stories we have been working on.

    I hope it works out for you. My best, and worst, experiences on chyoa have been during a team up. When it works, it is great. You bounce ideas off each other, create a friendship, and especially when you write response chapters off each other in the same story, which can be exhilarating and quite stimulating. But when it goes south, ugh, hurt feelings, petty fights, it's terrible. Hmm, kind of sounds like the extremes of marriage.

    Like I said, I wish you well, but finding that right chemistry of personality, kinks and expectations, is difficult.

    Are you a fan of supernatural stories at all?

    I'd like to chip in with idea's and/or content if it's my type of stuff.

    I love deep story lines, plot twists and character development. I prefer real world to fantasy but I'll give anything a go once! (Well, Almost anything!)

    These are the two stories I've published, they should give you an idea of how I write. Apologies in advance for any typos....like Porneia I suffer from a severe lack of editing skill!

    The stories I’m wishing to see chapters added onto are The Demonic Idol and The Lilith Strain

    Well, I do follow two different routes in God's apprentice and I do occasionally like mind control type stories.

    Great! I have been looking for people interesting in working alongside me on 7DI (Seven Days of Incest). It's real-world (well, close to it anyway) Incest, mixed with some BDSM, some Non-Con/Dub-Con... and possibly a bit of romance. Is any of that kind of thing stuff you are interested in?

    Yeah, that’s my thing! My story the P.A is incest based with a strong bdsm and romance as well!! And it’s got a non-con thread!!
    I’ve read some of 7DI and I like it.

    Sounds like we got a lot in common. I'll setup a discord server and shoot you an invite link.

    Okay, we have the start of a good little community of authors willing to chat and work together on each other's stories. However, there are still two major perspectives that are missing:

    First off, we could use the perspective of several different women. Ladies, your input and collaboration would be most appreciated, particularly since the one thing in common the authors all have on this discord server is the desire to be serious about writing what many call "porn with a plotline." Since you probably view the world of sex & erotica from a significantly different perspective than us men, your opinions and participation would prove invaluable. IMO, your perspective on writing in general (and writing sex for that matter), as well as writing female characters, is worth taking into consideration on our projects. Likewise, I would love to collaborate with you, especially if you love a CYOA for the good plotline as well as good sex scenes. So if any of you wish to collaborate with, provide an alternative PoV to our own, and exchange feedback with us, then we would welcome you along with whatever thoughts and opinions you bring to the table.

    Second, we would also appreciate the perspective of any authors who enjoy making fan art! I am curious to see what fans could do with our stories, what moments they would pick to portray, what they think would work better, etc. It is always important for Authors and Artists to interact with and provide feedback for one another. The perspective of someone who draws and paints can't quite be mimicked by the perspective of anyone else.

    The more viewpoints we have, the more well-rounded everyone will become as we learn and grow from interacting with each other; looking forward to working with you all!

    Alright, we are up to around 8 users (besides myself) who are regularly active and chatting with each other! We are still a small community, so feel free to invite your CHYOA friends. Join if you haven't already!

    Also opening it up to any fans of the authors who wish to visit.
