Could I request my branch be split off from the original?

    I went through a writing frenzy yesterday in the Rulebook, but I confess progress is stalling not for lack of ideas but because the storymap is so unwieldy it's impossible to use it efficiently to check which threads are still open in my non-con kink branch. Hell, even reloading the storymap means I need to keep scrolling down to make sure everything has loaded properly because my browser consistently stops preloading midway through the 'Male' options otherwise.

    If need be, I'll just start a new story and tweak it with some changes and/or delete the Rulebook chapters I uploaded yesterday, but if there's a simpler way to manage it by simply splitting off, that'd be appreciated.

    The only way to do this yourself is indeed by deleting your own chapters and republishing them under a new story. It's possible for Friedman to rearrange chapters if necessary, but that would take much longer than doing it yourself - and I wouldn't call this 'necessary', especially considering they're recently published.

    Note that you won't be able to delete your chapters once someone else adds onto them.

    Thanks for the info! I guess I'll have to C&P the chapters to the new story and tweak them to fit.

    I really wish I didn't have to, but having the storymap basically not work when I want to doublecheck what choices I've already written makes for a frustrating roadblock.

    Another way to do it is to have your own version of the story map in another program, such as Twine
