Guidelines
For Writers
Want to add your own threads to stories other people have created? Then, you're a writer.
1. Threads should be minimum 100 words in length, or 2-3 paragraphs. This rule is not set in stone. One-line threads may be acceptable to some authors, however keep in mind that loading an entire page for one or two lines of text gets extremely irritating.
2. You may write on almost any subject. We do ask that you not write stories on bestiality, underage sex, or extreme violence during sex. Power plays and non-consent fantasies are one thing, but killing or violently abusing someone during a sexual act should be avoided.
3. No character involved in sexual situations may be under 18 years old. That is to say, all characters involved in anything sexual must be 18 years old or older. No underage sex!
4. You should separate paragraphs by a line break or a 3-5 space indentation on the first line of the paragraph. Dialogue should be similarly organized. Use paragraphs. They're your friend.
5. You should employ the same point of view and tense established in the previous threads. (This is written in invisible pixels, and you will continue to mix up your points of view and tenses, but I thought it was worth a try.)
6. Do not place HTML, including links, in your threads. CHYOO interprets all HTML constructs literally.
7. Do not kill, maim, molest, or otherwise harm characters created by other writers without their consent. Please talk to the author who created a character before killing it. You can discuss these issues in the author forum.

For Editors
Want to create and shape the outcome of your own story? Then you're an editor (and a writer).
1. For open stories, the first thread should be minimum 250 words. The thread should establish the
plot, setting, and main characters, and should end with a compelling 'hook' to encourage other writers to continue the story. For personal stories, the preferred length is 1500 - 2000 words. You should consider dividing anything longer than that into multi-part stories.
2. Try to review submissions at least once a week. If you wait much longer than that, you risk losing your editing priviledges for the story.
Sim Note: What happened to this rule? It would've taken care of all those dead stories.
3. Always give the submitter an explanation why you're rejecting their submission and how they can improve it should they decide to resubmit.
