Questions regarding retaining control over a story.

Strange...

Indeed.
The three dots menu should be visible on the My Stories list. (Though they aren't visible on the Stories list of the profile page.)

Anyway, alternatively, you can go to the introduction of your story and type '/edit' at the end of the address

That might not always lead to the desired result as there are two pages showing the same content but the links are different. (story link and chapter link)

Replacing "map" on the story map link with "edit" might be more reliable.

Dunno if I should ask here or make a new topic;

So I read that if I ported a story from another site, I should mark down where the story is from and that is is a story there. So there's rules for porting works to this site.

What are the rules for porting from this site? Say I have written a chapter or two I want to take off site and put it up an other place for more completed stories/works rather than CYOA style ones. How should I go about doing that?

There are no rules per-say. That being said, I'd clarify on the other site where your work appears.

For example, I've posted some of my work on Noveltrove, and in my signature, I state that if my work appears anywhere other than CHYOA or Noveltrove, it's been stolen. You could also add an author's note at the start of your piece saying 'x story was originally posted on CHYOA'

Finally, you should check the rules of any other site about posting your work, just to make sure you're within rules.

Yes.
If you publish content on CHYOA that has been published on another site before, you should confirm that you are the owner or have the permission of the original author to republish it.

It is your work and you can do as you please.
So if you have published the content on CHYOA first, you don't need to do anything on CHYOA.


The passage about it in the Rules is to prevent publishing plagiarized content on CHYOA without the permission of the copyright owner.
