-	== About Contributing ==
-	I'm more than happy to follow you're guidelines but you weren't very specific about what you didn't like. I am
-	new to site, so bear with me. How did I deviate from the story style for one thing, I thought I followed it quite accuratley
-	from what I had read until that point. The page your reffering to that was a dead end, I was going to finish editing it
-	actually, it wasn't finished, I was going to have him go back to his apartment. (the arc had to logically end at some point,
-	but I realised you probly didn't want me to end the story). I didn't finish since I had to eat dinner lol. Also, my grammar
-	is fine and if anything only needs minor editing. What structuring? You mean text codes? How are they wrong?
-	Anyhoo, hope you get back to me,

		+	== What measure is an Underage ==
-		+	While it is of course a bit obvious that 6 or 10 is underage, what is the lower measure allowed on the site to not be considered underage?
-	- Dear Platypus,	+	While most countries make it illegal sexual '''images''' of women under 18, the age of consent varies, and with it the age you could '''write''' about probably does too.
-	We, the users behind "'''Hey its'''", would like to thank you for the unban. We promise	+	The most common age of consent under 18 is 16, Japan seems to allow 14, last I checked my own country was 12, which surprised me, not taking it in consideration but thought important to mention.
-	not to be abusive to others' stories or the site - yes, other users' stories have unlimited possibilities,	+
-	but it adds that special zazz to ours. We would like to call a truce between us, and an agreement for you to leave our edits	+
-	alone or a notification of said edit.	+
-	Thank you,	+
-	'''Jims Barbeque'''	+
-	== Deletions Requested ==	+	Either way my point is, at what age is it allowed to be written about without breaking the "no underage sexual content" rule?
-	In my efforts to make second person stories have choices only involving the protagonist, I have made three pages unnecessary:	+	(I did search the archives, but could not find it. At best I found someone asking the same thing on Archive5, but it seems to have gone unanswered for them too.

-	Sorry about the little mess, but I prefer the hyphen over the slash.  Anyway, here are the blanked pages:	+	Hey, I'm not sure if I'm asking in the right format, but is there no way to add an image in pages anymore? I tried the method in the tutorial of adding a link but all I get is a captcha circle. Sorry again if this question is in the wrong area/format!

-	Oh and if I can ever make it easier on you by doing something differently (still getting the hang of CYOA, not to mention wiki-editing in general), don't hesitate to point out my noobery.  I obviously don't need to invite you to change anything that... well, that you would change anyway, haha.  Thanks!

-	== Please Contribute more! ==	+	== Ban Tr0ll ==
-	You're probably the user that is on this site the most and are really creative, can you please contribute more to my story, "High School?"(Just not Gothic male or female please!)	+	Hey Plat, just wanted to tell ya that the user Tr0ll seems to have just redone his spam on the main page and who knows where else. That includes your talk page. I've been trying to reverse it wherever I can, but unless this person is banned, they'll likely just keep doing this nonsense.
-	Thanks--[[User:Gr1mm|Gr1mm]]	+	Edit: Currently working on getting some of the conversations that were deleted from this page into the Archive 8 page and keeping some of the more recent stuff back on this page. I tried to just undo the troll's post, but got hit with the external link error.
-	'''EDIT''':	+	--[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 03:02, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
-	Hey, there is something I would like you to do on my High School story. the link is here: *[["Um, well I thought we were going to....Well....You know....Do it...." you say nervously and embarassed.]] It's the ONLY thing (so far) that I would like you to do on goth. I chose you, because you're incredibly descriptive, you're good at writing all the sex and stuff, and you're pretty much one of the only trustworthy people on here. You can also edit any other page that branches off of that little page(if you know what I mean; I'm not good at explaining). I think it would be pretty cool if you used one of the props already in equipment. (it's in '''''Bold Italic''''') And weird stuff could happen, like their eyeliner, or their lipstick smears and ''stuff''. And if you want, Allison can use anything she has in her room (Use your imagination ;) ). And If it wouldn't bother you, you could do both points of view, from Jace's and Allison's point of view. It'll also show you what's already in her inventory. (Allison's point of view:*[["Um, well I thought we were going to....Well....You know....Do it...." Jace asks nervously.]])Please, if you get this, leave me a comment on my discussions page.	+

		+	== Alternative home for Smutty? ==
-	== Hey Platypus ==	+	Do you have Smutty Sex Romp up on a different site, P? If not, have you considered relocating? [[User:Anedwcan|Anedwcan]] 13:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
-	Hey platypus. You know my story, [[13 years]]. While it may not be a CYOA, I don't know where else to put it. So even though it doesn't belong here, can I continue doing it? PLEEASSSE? With a cherry on top(lol)?--[[User:Blablob|Blablob]] 06:25, 17 October 2009 (PDT)	+	-
-	Okay, well about the [[13 years]] topic, I'll fix it tomorrow. I will add choices instead, so no worries.--[[User:Blablob|Blablob]] 17:00, 17 October 2009 (PDT)	+	I looked a little further into that Miraheze wikifarm Durzan recommended; seems like they might actually allow a site like this. The most similar (to CYOS) existing site I found was Star Wars Erotica Wiki (swew.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) (EDIT: and it's not so similar as I thought; it links to a separate CYOA style star wars erotica wiki, and I confused the two, but it's still a decent example of a markedly adult site hosted on the Miraheze platform). And a few years ago someone made a request for a Yiff wiki that was approved, so I can't see them turning down a CYOS style site (you can see the discussion about the Yiff wiki here-> meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive_2#Not_Safe_for_Work_Content_Policy.3F).
-	== Telling when a story was last worked on ==	+	Main NSFW content rules seem to be that
-	Is there a way to tell when a story was last added to?  I want to do a bit of maintenance and move some stories into the Pit of Abandoned Stories, but unless I check every page, it's hard to tell if the story's been inactive since it was started last year, or if someone just added a page last Tuesday. Thanks. --[[User:Rawar|Rawar]] 15:25, 27 October 2009 (PDT)	+	1. Everything has to be legal in Netherlands, U.S., and U.K., (so rule 1 still stands, since underage sex stories are a legally grey area at best) and
		+	2. No pornographic images of real people (drawings and 3D renders seem to be fine)
-	==Tutorial==	+	It's possible I've missed something else important in the Content Policy, so you might want to have a look at it for yourself (meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Content_Policy). Additionally, Miraheze is free and ad-free.
-	I have started a [[Tutorial]].  If you want to give me a couple days, I can finish most of the pages myself (except for the video embedding.  I'm not even sure that's possible.  I heard someone talk about it in a story though.), but there may be some topics I've overlooked.  If there are, would you please add them?  Would you also make sure the info I included is accurate?  Lastly, I'm not really sure where the appropriate place to put it would be. Right now it's residing in the G stories section. Maybe you can find a good place for it. --[[User:Rawar|Rawar]] 22:46, 28 October 2009 (PDT)	+
		+	Regarding the transfer of stories, the 'import' function would almost definitely be available to Bureaucrats (MediaWiki permission defaults even let Admins use it). So moving Smutty Sex Romp and Rampage would be very possible, if time consuming (as only small xml files can be imported using 'import,' around 100 pages in size). I'll make another set of Smutty Sex Romp xml files suitable for transferring this way soon. I'd be happy to help you import them if you'd like.
		+	I know you said you weren't considering relocating right now, but maybe some of this will be useful in the future. Seems like RobKohr has no plan to fix the issues any time soon (editthis.info/wiki/User_talk:RobKohr#Not_dead).
-	== Reversion needed? ==	+	If you don't mind my asking, why are you so hesitant to relocate?
-	Looks like the main page may need to be reverted.  All the PG-13 stories found their way into the Quizzes section.  Looks like it's a job only a sysop can do.    --[[User:Rawar|Rawar]] 13:45, 30 October 2009 (PDT)	+
-	== What do you mean? ==	+	--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] ([[User talk:Pickles|Talk]]) 17:34, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
-	When you posted me about me taking away catagories for my pages, I misunderstood you. Do you mean you want me to start putting them, or not deleting them? I'm not the one who's been getting rid of them. In fact, I wouldn't even know how. Please don't delete my pages.--[[User:Blablob|Blablob]] 13:10, 13 November 2009 (PST)	+	:Oh, that makes sense. You were working on it quite a bit earlier this year though. I figured you'd stopped because of how ungodly slow the website has become, and I hadn't considered that you might have lost interest.
-	what are you talking about? I never deleted it. Honostly! But, uh, yeah, I'll make sure I make catagories for my pages.--[[User:Blablob|Blablob]] 18:14, 13 November 2009 (PST)	+	:So far as my understanding goes, you'd still have plenty of ability to keep litter out on the other farm. If you create a new wiki on Miraheze, you'll have the Bureaucrat user rights. And it would be ''your'' wiki: you could write up the rules any way you wanted to, with even more power to enforce them. If you were to switch over, you would not have to worry about any loss of content moderating authority.
-	After a little bit of thought, I've come to a decision. I'll be leaving the website. Er..I guess a better way to put is I won't be editing anymore. I used to do it all the time, but I just find it kind of boring now. So, yeah, see ya later, I guess.--[[User:Blablob|Blablob]] 16:15, 14 November 2009 (PST)	+	:And trying it out has almost no risk. It's possible that they won't allow smut on their servers, and the worst case where they decide not to host the wiki, nothing really changes. We're just stuck on editthis, with one more possibilty ticked off the list.
-	== Blablob is BACK, baby! ==	+	:Of course there is no real urgency as far as moving is concerned, but it would be great to read and edit Smutty (and any other stories that would be moved over) on a website that works. I'll stop buzzing in your ear about it, but please give Miraheze some consideration and let me know if you change your mind.
-	Hello, I'm back. Yes, after a while of thought and whatnot, I decided I'd give this place a second go. Now, my other stories--13 years, Icarly, and a few others--it's all behind me. I'm going to start focusing more on PG 13 stories rather than mature stories, and I'll probably work on 1 story, and make it really good, rather than making a bunch of stories. It won't be anything like 13 years: a long story with long chapters with barely any choices to make; I'm coming back for a fresh start. So, I hope you are glad to have me back, and I promise to take consideration into my mistakes in the past.--[[User:Blablob|Blablob]] 13:28, 19 December 2009 (UTC)	+	:--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] ([[User talk:Pickles|Talk]]) 02:22, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
-	== Sorry About The Grammar ==	+	== Am I doing this right? ==
-	Last night I was pretty tired when I was typing all of that storyline. I ended up kind of ignoring all my mistakes... Thanks for the future reminder though.	+	I probably should have done a little more lurking before contributing to your story. Smutty Sex Romp is a wonderful work, and I wanted (want) to help add to it. Anyway, I might have jumped the gun a little. I made an account and added a few contributions before realizing Smutty Sex Romp was your work, and that you have perhaps higher standards than I can meet right now (knowing very little about creative writing, formatting a wiki, and whatnot). The first place I contributed was in your story, when I should've started in the sandbox.
-	--[[User:Kevinsims22|Orpheus]] 21:27, 24 December 2009 (UTC)	+
-	== A story ==	+	I got a little carried away. Not that seven pages is insane, but I figured I should stop here and make sure what I've added is okay. It's easier to delete or fix seven pages than seventy (especially with the dial-up speed this site is running at). And since it's your story it's a-okay with me if you decide to delete all of my additions, no questions asked. I like what you've got going here, and I don't want to throw ants in your cereal.
-	I know its not you genre of writing... But I found a story in the pit of abandoned stories that had nothing in it so i decided to take hold of it.. I was wondering if maybe you could help me out with it considering I know how great you are with your stories. Write now I only have about ten or so pages on it but I want it to be restored and out of the grave yard so I was wondering if you could help me with 5,000 B.C.  [http://editthis.info/choose_Your_Own_Adventure/5,000_B.C.]	+	--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] 06:00, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
		+	:Hello again! I was looking through the '''[[:Category:Pages Requiring Attention|Pages Requiring Attention]]''', and all of them had a 'This database did not find the text of a page..." error message. I figured you'd deleted or moved them, but for whatever reason the category stuck. I blanked [[Paladin/Caladbolg18|this one]] to see if that would remove the category stamp. Of course it did, but now the page doesn't have a category (which I've heard annoys you). I think I want you to delete [[Paladin/Caladbolg18]] for me, if it's not too much trouble. Is it normal that moved/deleted pages keep categories like this, or is this something else?
		+	:I've been wondering about those [[Special:SpecialPages|maintenance reports]] as well. I don't want you to go out of your way if the answer is complicated, but do they work at all? The [[Special:UncategorizedPages|uncategorized pages]] and [[Special:DeadendPages|deadend pages]] reports would be handy if they actually updated.
-	--[[User:Kevinsims22|Orpheus]] 03:07, 26 December 2009 (UTC)	+	:Also, do you have a category for delete requests? I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask for them.
-	== Guess I should report this to you ==	+	:In any case, thanks for helping me out! --[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] 17:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
-	So while reading Warhammer: Sartosa, City of Pirates about a week ago I reached the page [[knock at the door]] which had an odd code.	+	P.S. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on my last message! I'm glad I've got your seal of approval.
		+	P.P.S. Is it just me or is the site loading faster today?
		+	== Found an ad ==
-	http:// editthis.info/choose_your_own_adventure/Password_here	+	[[User:Netconnekt|Netconnekt]]'s user page is an ad. I saw you deleted the dubaitours thing, so I figure this sort of account is not allowed.
		+	--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] 01:09, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
		+	[[User:Reviewruk|Reviewruk]]'s user page is ''also'' an ad (and a fishy service if you ask me). I wonder if we're on some list of good wikis to advertise on. Interestingly enough, another company has made an account but not posted a link (yet). [[User:Lwayservice|Lwayservice]] is a net dev company (akin to Netconnekt), but they didn't create any pages.

-	Supposedly a browser was to appear in which you could enter the password but obviously it’s not working. I briefly read the Wikipedia help articles but found no helpful information on how to fix it. So I used categories to cheat and get to the next page. I would have told you earlier but for some reason I did not.	+	[[User:Woodframe|Woodframe]]'s new page [[User talk:Woodframe]] is an ad.

I've been lurking for a little as an anon and wanted to start contributing to stories: some of which have red options nobody has fleshed out (in some cases for well over a year as far as I can tell). Do red options that haven't been written belong to the person, or are they free game to make into a page?
-	This is what you wrote (I'll put in bold the things I wrote): Please follow the style of the story you are working on '''I don't get it, do you mean by this that I have to continue writing pages for Burning Leaves or does it mean that I have to write in third person in every page where I write? (which is the style I normally use)''' . The pages in University Daze do not start with dashes '''What are dashes? (I searched in my dictionary and it described the word as lines but I don't think it means that)''' . And again, include the category on every page you write.

I been looking at the number of stories, both kid-friendly and XXX-rated and I been thinking of allowing other content from other sites, both dead or infinantus-haitus and allowing both the original creators and contributors from those sites to post here.

What measure is an Underage

While it is of course a bit obvious that 6 or 10 is underage, what is the lower measure allowed on the site to not be considered underage?

While most countries make it illegal sexual images of women under 18, the age of consent varies, and with it the age you could write about probably does too. The most common age of consent under 18 is 16, Japan seems to allow 14, last I checked my own country was 12, which surprised me, not taking it in consideration but thought important to mention.

Either way my point is, at what age is it allowed to be written about without breaking the "no underage sexual content" rule? (I did search the archives, but could not find it. At best I found someone asking the same thing on Archive5, but it seems to have gone unanswered for them too.

Adding Images

Hey, I'm not sure if I'm asking in the right format, but is there no way to add an image in pages anymore? I tried the method in the tutorial of adding a link but all I get is a captcha circle. Sorry again if this question is in the wrong area/format!

Edit - If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to send me a link to one of these new pages? So that I can hopefully replicate it? But if you're busy don't worry about it, I'll keep an eye out myself :)

Ban Tr0ll

Hey Plat, just wanted to tell ya that the user Tr0ll seems to have just redone his spam on the main page and who knows where else. That includes your talk page. I've been trying to reverse it wherever I can, but unless this person is banned, they'll likely just keep doing this nonsense.

Edit: Currently working on getting some of the conversations that were deleted from this page into the Archive 8 page and keeping some of the more recent stuff back on this page. I tried to just undo the troll's post, but got hit with the external link error.

Alternative home for Smutty?

Do you have Smutty Sex Romp up on a different site, P? If not, have you considered relocating? Anedwcan 13:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

I looked a little further into that Miraheze wikifarm Durzan recommended; seems like they might actually allow a site like this. The most similar (to CYOS) existing site I found was Star Wars Erotica Wiki (swew.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) (EDIT: and it's not so similar as I thought; it links to a separate CYOA style star wars erotica wiki, and I confused the two, but it's still a decent example of a markedly adult site hosted on the Miraheze platform). And a few years ago someone made a request for a Yiff wiki that was approved, so I can't see them turning down a CYOS style site (you can see the discussion about the Yiff wiki here-> meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive_2#Not_Safe_for_Work_Content_Policy.3F).

Main NSFW content rules seem to be that

1. Everything has to be legal in Netherlands, U.S., and U.K., (so rule 1 still stands, since underage sex stories are a legally grey area at best) and

2. No pornographic images of real people (drawings and 3D renders seem to be fine)

It's possible I've missed something else important in the Content Policy, so you might want to have a look at it for yourself (meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Content_Policy). Additionally, Miraheze is free and ad-free.

Regarding the transfer of stories, the 'import' function would almost definitely be available to Bureaucrats (MediaWiki permission defaults even let Admins use it). So moving Smutty Sex Romp and Rampage would be very possible, if time consuming (as only small xml files can be imported using 'import,' around 100 pages in size). I'll make another set of Smutty Sex Romp xml files suitable for transferring this way soon. I'd be happy to help you import them if you'd like.

I know you said you weren't considering relocating right now, but maybe some of this will be useful in the future. Seems like RobKohr has no plan to fix the issues any time soon (editthis.info/wiki/User_talk:RobKohr#Not_dead).

If you don't mind my asking, why are you so hesitant to relocate?

Oh, that makes sense. You were working on it quite a bit earlier this year though. I figured you'd stopped because of how ungodly slow the website has become, and I hadn't considered that you might have lost interest.

So far as my understanding goes, you'd still have plenty of ability to keep litter out on the other farm. If you create a new wiki on Miraheze, you'll have the Bureaucrat user rights. And it would be your wiki: you could write up the rules any way you wanted to, with even more power to enforce them. If you were to switch over, you would not have to worry about any loss of content moderating authority.

And trying it out has almost no risk. It's possible that they won't allow smut on their servers, and the worst case where they decide not to host the wiki, nothing really changes. We're just stuck on editthis, with one more possibilty ticked off the list.

Of course there is no real urgency as far as moving is concerned, but it would be great to read and edit Smutty (and any other stories that would be moved over) on a website that works. I'll stop buzzing in your ear about it, but please give Miraheze some consideration and let me know if you change your mind.

Am I doing this right?

I probably should have done a little more lurking before contributing to your story. Smutty Sex Romp is a wonderful work, and I wanted (want) to help add to it. Anyway, I might have jumped the gun a little. I made an account and added a few contributions before realizing Smutty Sex Romp was your work, and that you have perhaps higher standards than I can meet right now (knowing very little about creative writing, formatting a wiki, and whatnot). The first place I contributed was in your story, when I should've started in the sandbox.

I got a little carried away. Not that seven pages is insane, but I figured I should stop here and make sure what I've added is okay. It's easier to delete or fix seven pages than seventy (especially with the dial-up speed this site is running at). And since it's your story it's a-okay with me if you decide to delete all of my additions, no questions asked. I like what you've got going here, and I don't want to throw ants in your cereal.

Hello again! I was looking through the Pages Requiring Attention, and all of them had a 'This database did not find the text of a page..." error message. I figured you'd deleted or moved them, but for whatever reason the category stuck. I blanked this one to see if that would remove the category stamp. Of course it did, but now the page doesn't have a category (which I've heard annoys you). I think I want you to delete Paladin/Caladbolg18 for me, if it's not too much trouble. Is it normal that moved/deleted pages keep categories like this, or is this something else?

I've been wondering about those maintenance reports as well. I don't want you to go out of your way if the answer is complicated, but do they work at all? The uncategorized pages and deadend pages reports would be handy if they actually updated.

Also, do you have a category for delete requests? I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask for them.

In any case, thanks for helping me out! --Pickles 17:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

P.S. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on my last message! I'm glad I've got your seal of approval. P.P.S. Is it just me or is the site loading faster today?

Found an ad

Netconnekt's user page is an ad. I saw you deleted the dubaitours thing, so I figure this sort of account is not allowed. --Pickles 01:09, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Reviewruk's user page is also an ad (and a fishy service if you ask me). I wonder if we're on some list of good wikis to advertise on. Interestingly enough, another company has made an account but not posted a link (yet). Lwayservice is a net dev company (akin to Netconnekt), but they didn't create any pages. --Pickles 03:41, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Woodframe's new page User talk:Woodframe is an ad. First paragraph is so deeply introspective that I almost didn't realise it was an ad. --Pickles 18:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Ingdarenth's user page is also an ad. Leonel Sohns 09:06, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Fivesdigital's user page is also an ad. Leonel Sohns 11:33, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Harrygood9898's user page is also an ad. Leonel Sohns 14:14, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Red Options

I'm not sure if it's been brought up before. I've been lurking for a little as an anon and wanted to start contributing to stories: some of which have red options nobody has fleshed out (in some cases for well over a year as far as I can tell). Do red options that haven't been written belong to the person, or are they free game to make into a page?

Fredhot16

Yo. I'm thinking of coming back to this website but not fully until I have something to write about. Just curious: what happened to the edit button on the Main Page?

Thanks for the deletes

Hi Platypus. Thanks for deleting the pages I blanked. I was about to ask if you would do that. :) (I assume you looked and saw I was the only contributor.) DirtyOldMan 20:43, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Having a problem creating an account

Hello. Obviously, I have an account on Create Your Own Story, but I want to create an account on the main editthis.info page. I keep trying, but the same thing happens every time. I put in the username and the password. I made sure that the passwords were the same. I did the captcha. But every time I go to create the account, I get an error message: "Could not open socket in ./common/recaptcha/recaptchalib.php". I don't know who else to tell about this, so here I am. If you don't know anything about this, then could you please tell someone else who does. Thank you.

Final touches to the Tutorial

Hello. I was poking around the wiki and noticed that the Tutorial needed a bit of a clean-up, so I've tried my best. Unfortunately, the page creation page is protected and there's something I think would be a very helpful addition. The addition and the edits I made are on the Tutorial Discussion, but feel free to change anything that you want. I figured you were the admin and might be able to edit the protected page. Thanks.

Adopting other Interactives from other sites

Hi. I been looking at the number of stories, both kid-friendly and XXX-rated and I been thinking of allowing other content from other sites, both dead or infinantus-haitus and allowing both the original creators and contributors from those sites to post here. I know of a couple of good adult-heavy interactives from that bully site Writing.com that would struggle but accept the transfer. Personally, this was my second-best interactive site before the wacko admin of Writing.com committed a free-user genocide and banned everyone else from entering the site, to mine crypto, I guess?

- TheGreenRaider 14:27, 26, Dec 2022(UTC)

Is this website dead?

Is there any consistent updates of storys and active members?

---

The link I changed didn't match up with the continuation of the the story path

• Go find Jenny to apologize.

That's after he just agreed to only be with the daughter but the mom then rejected him in the same path so the two paths conflict?

• Agree to Jenny's terms.

Is contradicts this path

• Deny that you were looking at Jenny's cleavage.

Could you rename some pages

Hey, I was wondering if you could rename a few pages? Specifically I was wondering if you could rename these pages:Josh._An_18-year_old,_brown-haired_football_player, Miranda._A_17-year-old_brown-haired_girl, and Chelsea._The_36_yo,_blonde-haired_volleyball-playing_mother_of_the_3_kids_above.

Specifically I'd like them to be renamed by increasing the ages of Miranda and Josh by a year and change blonde-haired to brunette.
