this is so depressing!

[wicker]

I go away for four days and come back, and not one of my last 8 threads has an addition!

Are they that bad or hard to add on to?

One was finally added to one of my threads at "Tomboy's Humiliation," which I gladly reciprocated, but my last to wishbone tale, the video, simon says, all sit barren and childless. =(

 

[whizzper]

I feel the same way a lot of the time with my stories

Well, if you dribble the threads in at one or two per day, you'll always be on the front page.

And if you self-promote a bit here, prompting for follow-ups to your interesting thread hooks, you might be more likely to get a bite or two.

Otherwise, it's out of sight, out of mind.

If you look at the cumulative thread ID number, you'll have a sense of how many threads get created over how long, and keep in mind you're competing with thousands of potential stories for those new threads. You could factor in a bit of a penalty for the threads editors contribute to their own stories vs. to others' stories. (My own ratio is about 50:50, though I don't often participate in thread barter).

Good luck, and toot your own horn!

Meh. This happens to me a lot too. Not counting threads I've added to myslef, I think only about a quarter of my threads have been added to.

Don't Complain

I have 0 children in every thread I have ever written. Admittedly, I am new at this, but it's still a little depressing.

 

[TwiztedClown]

Hey it took me a while for one of my 2 original stories to have any other authors to add to it...you gotta remember that there is over 1000 stories on chyoo

 

[wicker]

I try my best to add to threads that have been added to a previous one of mine, but I admit I don't do it 100% of the time either. Rarely someone adds a thread I don't know what to do with, and I hate that. When I don't add to it, I feel like I'm telling the person I didn't like his thread.

Wicker -regarding your Good Samaritan thread submission:

please, please fix it before re-posting. I don't know if you got my direct message (I understand that they can sometimes get lost in Spam filters), but as I mentioned in there, that part of the story you're adding to DOESN'T take place in Miki's bedroom, but rather the main characters. He does originally drive her to her home, but when he isn't able to wake her sufficiently to be sure he's at the right place, he ends up driving her to his own apartment. Read through the previous two threads leading up to yours and you'll see what I mean. By suddenly changing the setting, it kinda mucks things up a bit (since there already is a branch of the story that does take place at Miki's home).

Although it wouldn't be reason enough to halt the posting of a thread, I admit to being puzzled by your use of quotations at the beginning of the text. This is the main character speaking out loud to himself, I guess? Sadly, there is no description of either stripping Miki out of her clothes, or her nude body either -though, again, not specifically a reason to block posting the thread.

Really, just at least fix the details of the setting and it will get posted. Rather than finding photos in her bedroom, they could be in her wallet (or something along those lines). You've taken the story down a potentially interesting avenue, and not one I would have done myself -that of course is the purpose of having an open story that anyone can add to.

i re-wrote and resubmitted it

i re-wrote and resubmitted it

'You laugh as the daughter and employee of two of the most vocal "family values" advocates in your town is passed out drunk on your couch.'

Change 'your couch' to 'your bed' and you're basically golden (re-read the previous threads, and you'll see where he carries her from the couch to the bed). It's a much smaller continuity error than the previous one.

'He's always on TV railing against strip clubs, pornography, and has even tried to get the town to end alcohol sales, which given the state of his now apparent daughter, Miki.'

It seems like there might be a word missing in there? Maybe it was originally mean to be two sentences? I make typos all the time, so I understand how easy it is for those kinds of mistakes to slip through.

I'm not being too particular or protective, am I? There's really only been two other people who have added to the story so far -one really really good one by Torg, and another really awful one that got rejected.

I'm curious to see where exactly you intend to take this particular story branch in the proceeding threads.

 

[wicker]

done & done!

I did what you wanted, but the thread is still lockes.

 

[Akito01]

It should be approved by now -it's actually impossible for me to approve thread on my own, because despite being the story's creator, I'm not listed as an editor. It could be because I let the story sit inert for a couple of years, I'm not sure, or it could just be the way moderation works on the site.

'and has even tried to get the town to end alcohol sales, which given the state of his now apparent daughter, Miki.'

I'm still completely puzzled by this sentence fragment, but I'll leave any further editing decisions to you, since this part of the story is now yours.

 

[whizzper]

Talk to Torg about that, he took it over.

Um, yeah. That was me. Sorry I haven't given it back to you. Very busy.

i would have posted in your threads but i don't know what Chyoo is, and no one will tell me.

How did you end up here if you don't know what CHYOO is?

CHYOO is interactive stories.

The address is CHYOO

CHYOO is a "find your own adventure" erotic story site. Authors start a story and then the reader makes decisions about where the story goes after each section of the story, leading to different results each time the story is read. Very similar to those fantasy novels from the 80s.

There are thousands of stories of all types. Read some, then contribute.

Here is the CHYOO FAQ.


P.S. Who is that in your avatar?
