    1) I suggest that in the "About" section in one's Profile there be including a "Kinks that turn me on" and "Kinks that are a turn off" so that people can quickly see what each person's particular erotic likes and dislikes are (if one chooses to list them). This will allow people an easier time to find like minded writers and readers.

    2) Also, I suggest there be a clear link to click on in one's profile to open up that person's forum profile, and visa-versa.

    As always, thanks for all the labors.

    The competitive side of me would like to see an authors average likes per chapter in the stats.

    Sir, what type of evil mind reading creature are you? Get out of my mind! Many times I have looked with smug satisfaction when one of my stories has more views/likes/comments than others. If the other story, however, has more, then clearly they have been merely gaming the system some how.

    I think we were separated at birth!

    I keep an eye on other authors likes vs chapters average and if it's dramatically higher than mine I look into why. Often it's because either it's a popular category I don't write in or the author has laid the story out in game mode with lots of small chapters, or just written a single thread with lots of small chapters. Which is fair enough, as I don't write that way it doesn't bother me. They could just be better written of course but let's not dwell on that one ! When I see a story similar to mine in lay out/content and it has a much higher average it drives me mad, and motivates me to do better. CHYOA for me has introduced a competitive element to my writing that I've never experienced before, it's a great way to force myself to be ultra critical of what I'm publishing.

    Also if someone gave your story a bunch of likes, you could visit their profile and see why/what they want next.
