you ever turn a chyoo story in a literotica story

[lilguy]

just wondering

 

[bungakawa2000]

I have never posted on litterotica, but if you mean "taking a choice-based story and turning it into a linear story", ya, I've done it once and will probably do it again.

It allows me to go back to old threads, rework them a little (lot) and harmonize the various parts.

I was thinking of doing that very thing with "Sappho's Amulet". I discovered, however, that it would essentially require a re-write of the whole story, as I write differently when I'm doing a story as a cohesive whole and when I'm posting it bit by bit. The dialogue would probably stay the same, but I wouldn't have a "cliffhanger" every few paragraphs. It would need to be smoother.

I'm curious if anyone here has stories already on Literotica. I'd be interested in reading some of the works of my favorite CHYOO authors.

I have not tried this, but I have broke a longer story that I was writing to post on literotica up into pages and posted it on CHYOO. I'm definately not the fastest or most prolific writer and CHYOO fits my ability well as I need only write a couple of pages a week.

That's an interesting idea.

Hello,
I read this thread earlier but I did not reply right away because I was curious what other people thought. My experiences with Lit haven't been all that great. I tried to post the introduction of A College Girl to be... on the site with a link at the bottom telling the readers to come to Chyoo for the full interactive story. I remember I titled it the same as the story on Chyoo and that caused a problem with it. I can't remember if it was saying that it already existed or what, but I don't think it worked. I haven't posted anything on Lit since then.

For me, turning a Chyoo story into a Lit story would be difficult for several reasons. One, most of my favourite storylines within my two Chyoo stories were written by somebody other than me. And Two, Most of my threads I have writen are for other peoples stories and are one possible storyline. For example, I have contributed the following number of threads to these stories...

How many threads. Story. Editor.
19 The Choices We Make Daciasdesire
10 A Bet leads to Domination in the Workplace Switch76
8 A Good girl forced Bad Jakelyon
5 Sappho's Amulet. Gystex
5 Doctor's Visit. Rusty69

51 An assortment of 28 different stories. 28 editors.

49 A College girl to be... & A Lost ID: Sex fugitive. ME, ME, ME.

So most of my favourite storylines are writen by other people or are in other peoples stories. But, I do like the idea of turning a Chyoo story into a Lit story. And adding a note at the end of it that it is only one of many possible storylines, and all of them can be found by visiting Chyoo.com.

Any thoughts?

Give it a try

I think you should give it a try Tim. Following one plot line through the 10 or 12 threads some of them run should make a pretty good story with some editing.

I think the tie in back to the original story with its options would also be good, and might give some linear readers a chance to experience an option story. I have been hooked since I joined and now find linear stories kind of flat.

I have even thought about how cool the idea would be applied to a murder mystery series, or a science fiction serial, or a Western. Once I have some time later this year I may explore how to host and run such sites. The fun part is seeing where other people's imaginations take an idea you have.

I only wish I could write faster.

Story on Lit

I have a single story on Lit, posted eons ago!

Story of Lori

Ever since I found CHYOO, and since Lit became bombarded with thousands of stories, I quickly lost interest! Stories startes sounding the same, with very little differences, other than names and locations. One look at the site now, and it's nearly impossible to find a story that will grab your attention.

On CHYOO, our little community allows a lot more closeknit interaction. The fact that you are FORCED to make a decision at a critical point in the story, creates the interactive nature that I strive for.

I always welcome new members to CHYOO, but I'd hate to see what has happened to Tim's threads on Lit, happen on CHYOO. You post a thread, and it disappears in five minutes, unless, sixty people jump on it and start replying to it! Just think what that would be like on CHYOO! NO! NO! NO! I DON'T WANT IT!

I love CHYOO and will continue to keep my creative writing to CHYOO only!

 

[niceguy2002tim]

Hello again.

Hello,
I agree largely with sparky. Lit is much too big and many great ideas are submitted and lost within minutes. I love Chyoo for the same reasons as Sparky, or AVS, whichever you perfere.

Thinking further into the non-interactive stories... it is possible to write them on Chyoo. In the options when creating a story, make it so it's closed to submissions and just keep one linear path. You could write one really huge thread, or use the continuing question to link to the next page then so on. I might even give that a try.

Recently I came across an old Chyoo story which was earlier rejected, you may remember it. It was called Assassin's delight. And you the main character would be paid to beat and kill annoying celebrities. I thought it would be great for the Humour and Satire section.

I also have another story which I am currently just sitting on. I just sat down one day and started writting. I wasn't planing on making it an interactive story, it's more one path than many type. The story is a medievil one, where the worlds last knight may be the worlds last hope. My inspiration for this story was an up-coming story by Daciasdesire. She has a runaway blockbuster in the works. I won't tell you much about it, but I know it's going to be good.

And I also wanted to mention to Jakelyon a certain book series that is really good. Ever heard of Stephen King's The Dark Tower Series? If not, go to your local library and find the book The Gunslinger, as it is the first of the 7 books. At this current time only 4 of the books have been released and King has 3 more to come out this year and early next year. The books are...

The Dark Tower 1: The Gunslinger
Dark Tower 2: Drawing of the three.
Dark Tower 3: The waste lands.
Dark Tower 4: Wizard and Glass.

Stephen King combines a lot of things including Western sytle gunslingers, to modern day stuff. The first book, Roland the Gunslinger is pursuing The man in black - a sourcer who Roland found sleeping with his mother when he was the young age of 14. It's a great story. As well as the above King has incorperated doorways between the worlds. There is a beach in the second book where Roland finds 3 doors standing alone with nothing holding them. Each open into New York at 3 different time periods. Normally I don't read much of Stephen King because I don't like the supernatural, but this series has had me hooked.

Any thoughts guys?

Also, maybe if we bug Dacia enough she will tell us a little about her Medievil story.

 

[bungakawa2000]

Totally unrelated to the original topic:

King also wrote "The Dragon's Eyes" (I think that's the English title, not sure...), a very, very nice story set in some medieval land. It's some kind of a fairy tale, but much, much more complex and intriguing. Also, the evil sorcerer in that book is dangerously close to the Man in Black of the Dark Tower series. You can find many parallels between King's books, sometime very subtle.

Also, he wrote "The Talisman", another good "medieval/sci-fi/somewhere in between" story in collaboration with another guy whose name I forgot...

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Just to let you know my humble little opinion
"The walking man" is a constant in a large amount of SK's books
It can even be debated that
the man that Roland chases is
the man from dragons eye and
he is the walking man from the stand a
and maybe even the one who walks in rows
depending how you can bend your mind around a SK book

I will say something about SK

he has some of the best starting points for books
He middles are amazing and complex
HIS ENDING ALWAYS SUCK
he seems to get lost somewhere
MY GOD IT WAS A GIANT SPIDER
well I’m going to stop ranting
bye

Totally agreed,

King can set up a story like a god, but he just can't seem to deliver on the punchline.

I did however, notice that he doesn't seem to have that problem when he writes as Richard Bachman.

Seriously, I find the Bachman endings to be extremely good.

Running Man, although a bit politically incorrect now, was great! (The hero crashed a plane into the "bad guys" HQ.....)

The Long Walk, the main character survives but goes nuts in the process....

The Regulators, I personally loved the Saturday Morning Cartoon characters blowing up a suburban neighborhood......

Must have something to do with the freedom of writing under a pseudonym....

The good and the bad.

Alright,
I am not really all too familar with Stephen King's other works. I have checked out a couple outside for the Dark Tower series. I found the ending to The Shinning was a good one. I like how the Motel is to be rebuilt.

Also, the ending to Salem's Lot wasn't too bad. The movie was horrible...

Oh, the Rose Red mini-series was also well done and had a good ending. So you can't say all of King's endings suck. Ever heard of his movie, The Thinner? Holy crap, that one sucked. I assume the book is better, as with all his stuff.

How about the book "The Deadzone"? I know there is a TV series based on it now. I use to watch it, but I've lost the time I use to have to watch it. How does it end? I know the story is pretty good.

One last story. You can't say the ending to The Stand sucked either. I thought it had the perfect ending. I really enjoyed the movie (mini-series). King has better Mini-series than movies. The Storm of the Century was a good one too.

He has a new movie coming out very soon based on his book Dream Catcher. Anybody familar with it? Let me know if it should be good?

Re: The good and the bad.

I found the ending to The Shinning was a good one.

At the risk of sounding like LG2 again, this one was actually called The Shining.

No really, I'm not that petty. I assume it was just a typo. I just notice it because The Shinning was a Simpson's spoof on the story, which I happened to catch the other day.

 

[Ooohkitty]

Willie the school janitor:: "Boy, you read my thoughts! You've got the 'Shinning'!"


Bart Simpson:: "Don't you mean 'Shining'?"


Willie:: "Shhh! You wanna get sued? Now look, boy. If your Da goes ga-ga, you just use that 'shinning' of yours to call me and I'll come a-runnin'. But don't be readin' my mind between four and five. That's Willie's time!"


I love the Tree house of Horror ones

Luv,

Dreamcatcher

I am new to these boards, but I read your post about Dreamcatcher. I read the book last summer and enjoyed it. I am a fan of most of his other books also.
It's a good story and it will be interesting to see the movie. I never like the movie as much as I liked the book though.

 

[bungakawa2000]

I'd usually agree with you that movies are rarely as good as the book that inspired them (99.5% of adaptations are crap... and 99.5% of the remaining .5% are crap when dubbed in French!).

However, I just *love* The Green Mile. Guess it's the mandatory exception to the rule.

Oh, just a comic I came across.
