The Shining Stone

Maybe it's inappropriate to gush, but I really love this story. It was written by Hematoma, who has consistently put out quality work, and it actually felt like a choose-your-own-adventure story, what with the bad endings left and right, and a story that actually felt like it was going somewhere. The fact that I'm a major fan of Fantasy adds tremendously to that fact.

If it wasn't for this story, I wouldn't have written anything for CHYOO at all. So even though I've never really spoken to Hematoma directly, I just wanted to thank him (or her) for letting me submit my threads to their story and I hope that I did it some justice.
 
He wrote a masterpiece. All the contributing authors have done a good job, too. I haven't found myself bored reading it yet.

I keep wanting to write a few threads in a couple of Melena's arcs, but I get a hellacious dose of writer's block. Hopefully the words come soon.
 
The first few times I read it didn't do it justice, but I am truly impressed by the level of cooperation and depth to the story. 5 stars.
 
I love writing for this story too. It forces me to be more literary, less stroke.
 
Awww you guys are so sweet! I love the stuff you added to that story, GenocideHeart and everybody else. It has a lot of great contributors and it belongs to everyone who has written for it. I have been writing chyoa stuff for ages, since before I really should have been (shhh) and I feel like it has shaped my dirty mind so much that when I read a regular book I wish it had a branching plot and raunchy bad endings. When the old site migrated to this new one (which is great!) I hesitated and thought maybe I'm too busy to get back into doing this stuff, but I couldn't resist. Hopefully I get the chance after the holidays to fix some of the broken links in Shining Stone.

BTW I am a she :P
