Completionist Talk V2

I hope you don't mind my editing of The Abandoned Adult Story. Just trying to help in the brainstorm, since this was seemingly (ironically?) becoming Abandoned as well. --Completionist 00:51, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for reminding me.

Heh, I absolutely forgot Smutty Sex Romp required a certain template on each page. Thanks for the reminder.

Trueroman's talk

Thanks for the advice. When I write I tend to jot everything down then go back and correct my spelling. Usually this isn't a problem when I right on Word then transfer it over to wherever I am posting it online. Since this website is linked based and I'm kind of just throwing ideas as I go along, I plan on going back to correct spelling and grammar when I get a decent amount written through a couple of path choices.

I am still learning the site, I tried the tutorial and while it explains it well when it comes to computer terms I find it easier to experiment. I was clicking the Ab button on the tool bar to put the brackets, but I will start adding the * beforehand. Please share any other tips if you like :)

Yeah I was fiddling with how you did that. I figured it out though, thanks.

So if I have a path that ends the story do I need to still put a link? I have seen others that didn't so wasn't sure. Also, I came to a point where I didn't need a page anymore, how to do I completely remove it?

Wassersaeufer's talk

Thanks for notifying me on the fact that the original creator of "Hot and Horny" has not been active for so long, but I knew that already. I just wanted to give him a fair chance of answering anyway, even if I don't think anything will ever come of it. I'll just wait about a month or so (I'm in no hurry) and then I'll create the spin-off-anyway. Thanks for noticing and answering though. -- Wassersaeufer 13:45, 23rd April 2014 (UTC)

Finally I made time and took a look at Dirty Me, the story I mean. And damn, your writing is great, I really enjoy reading it. I'm normally into more perverse stuff, at least in stories, but I enjoy your style too much. Only thing which bothers me is, that your posts are so damn long. Not that it is a bad thing, it makes a great story, but I would just enjoy a few more options to choose how to proceed. Anyway, other than that, great writing, looking forward to more. - Wassersaeufer 15:55 19th March 2014 (UTC)

Wow, thanks for the compliment on me complimenting someone else, even though you weren't the one I complimented... well, now this sentence sounds really wrong *lol*. Anyway, thanks for noticing and keep up the good work. Though I have not yet read Dirty Me, I will soon change that. - Wassersaeufer 14:27 18th March 2014 (UTC)

Making a link log page or a story notes page for your story is acceptable. --Platypus 15:48, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

ArthurKung's talk

I think your story "Dirty Me" is very interesting as of yet. I don't think I've ever read a CYOA involving elements of tragedy written from a realistic ("Not the fun fantasy stuff" as you wrote yourself) point of view, but yours looks very promising. I hope to see more of it, and wish you the best of luck with your writing! --ArthurKung 21:53, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Not all of it will be tragedy. I write erotica, as well as other things, and have some of my short works for sale. It will have alot of sex and sexuality in it. Sadly, many elements come from my own life, and I was not...the most well adjusted or confident person growing up. It will just be more realistic than much of the stuff on here. You try to walk around town naked in stories on here, you just get to have lots of sex. You try to walk around town naked in real life, you will end up in a jail cell, and probably with a record for the rest of your life. I want to keep it plausible, believable. I will sketch out background stories, these will not really branch, just "Dream about x, remember y" type of thing, that will actually have elements from my real life, either in part, or whole. I will probably include me being raped, not once, but twice, but not sure if I want the character to go through it, or remember it. I will probably have how I was molested, and how that lead to the character/me that you see here. I have been beaten, and will probably include issues around that also. At the heart, my story will be a growing up story with many of my specialty writing, erotica. I already have included how I/the character, ended up on probation, and my/the characters, first time having sex. There will be more of that. Some pleasant, some horrifying. I just hope people can connect to my stories, written here, my blog, for sale on Amazon, etc. --Dirty Me 03:56, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Teejay's talk

You're doing fine with the organizing, and you can move +Infinity to the I's if you want. -- Teejay

To be honest, I haven't yet looked into your story. So I have no basis for an opinion. I will, however, look into it soon. I note that ArthurKung likes it, and he's usually a pretty good judge. -- Teejay

I haven't read any of the story yet, but read your informational page. First off, I'm very sorry about the bad things that have actually happened to you, and I hope your life turns out better in the future. Second, I'm happy you've had some fun and good experiences as well, and I hope you have more of them. -- Teejay

OK, I've read what you have so far (I read very fast.) I'm quite impressed. You're an excellent writer. -- Teejay

Thanks for the heads-up. Like I said, I'm just sorry that all those negative things happened to you. I know you don't want sympathy, but I will say that I hope from now on your life is filled with goodness, light, and a loving partner who cares about you. And that you have lots of loving, tender, consensual, enjoyable sexual experiences. -- Teejay

I have seen some of the elements from your blog appear. I haven't done much additional commenting on it, but what is there to say that I haven't said already? I wish I could erase some of the really horrible stuff that happened to you, and I hope your husband is always warm and loving and kind and ensures you enjoy sweet, tender sex. (Women/girls being abused always has been a trigger of powerful emotions in me: anger at the abuser, and deep sorrow and an urge to comfort the woman who has been abused.) -- Teejay

Nothing you haven't already heard. You're a very skilled writer and I'm enjoying your developing story. -- Teejay

Been there... just try to relax. Maybe read a different story for a few minutes to take your conscious mind off it, then when you feel inspired, return to the story... -- Teejay

No, I actually was offline for a couple of days. It wasn't your imagination. I'll poke around your story and check out the new links. -- Teejay

I like Prank War. It's a cute little story and reminds me of being back in middle school. -- Teejay

I think you're doing a great job so far. I like the fact you take your time and post well-written stories. -- Teejay

You'd get warnings and stuff first if anyone was thinking of banning you... which they're not. Don't sweat it. You're a good writer and great about following the rules. -- Teejay

This website's been known to have the occasional issue. -- Teejay

Just spotted a comment you made. Congratulations on your baby boy. -- Teejay

I have two young 'uns myself, they're now 10 and 5 years old. It's amazing how quickly they steal your heart. The instant they're born and the doc puts them in your arms and they smile, it's over... you're wrapped around their finger. Best of luck to you and your husband and I hope your son grows up to be happy and successful. -- Teejay

What exactly do you want me to say? You didn't ask a question. You made an observation. It's probably true. But it didn't seem like you were expecting a response. :) -- Teejay

No problem. :) I'm always ready to listen and offer emotional support. -- Teejay

hidden text

Don't mind me, just noticed by the changelog that it looked like you were looking for a way to essentially hide text that is only viewable through the edit window, correct? --TheElderOnes 09:22, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you want your hidden text template to do, but I can see where it's going wrong. You're referencing hidden text within the code for the hidden text template, which is what's generating the loop error.

If you want invisible text, the easy way is to change the font color to white.

<font color=white> invisible </font color=white>

produces: invisible

You can see the text by painting over it with your cursosr. --Platypus 12:39, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Got it. You're trying to build a collapsible, nested table. I'm not sure how to build such a thing here. The wiki markup language available is somewhat limited. I'll play around some and see if I can't come up with something. --Platypus 13:31, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you're going for. Like Platypus guessed, it sounds like a nested table with collapsible elements. Almost kinda "flowchart-y" in nature. I found the syntax for a nested table at an external wiki (Aberwiki, at their MediaWiki User's Guide: Using Tables page), but as far as collapsibility goes, there's a javascript extension/gadget that exists (Manual:Collapsible elements on the actual main Mediawiki site), but isn't implemented in CYOA's Common.js section. Like Platypus said, the markup around here is really barebones around here. I think it can be done, but it might require some playing with before it works. Sorry for the vagueness as to where the two syntax pieces I found are, it's impossible to post two external links in the same post without doing one, waiting 20 minutes, then doing the other. Tedious, but it does prevent spambots from flooding us as badly as they did before... --TheElderOnes 14:10, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Javascript matters should probably be brought up with Platypus, since he'd be the only one able to add your code into CYOA's Common.js page. o: --TheElderOnes 16:53, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Actually, Javascript matters would have to go to RobKohr. He doesn't have the daily presence here that I have, but he's the site administrator/owner. I'm the sysop, which is a rank I own at RobKohr's discretion. He makes the decisions about site functionality and features.--Platypus 19:58, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Blazetempest

It was nice of you to try cleaning up Blazetempest's poor writing, but given the overwhelming number of poor postings that show up in my stories, I feel I have to be firm with these writers. If they can't read the warning that specifies that poor writing will be deleted, then they really shouldn't be posting. --Platypus 19:58, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

warnings

If you spot someone leaving off the categories before I do, by all means, feel free to use the warning templates to remind them. It is a relief to not have to do everything that needs doing around here. --Platypus 09:20, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

egrizzly

Thanks for the heads up. 'Funny' vandals usually only post once then disappear, but I'll give him a warning and if he makes another 'joke' edit, I'll block him. --Platypus 14:36, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Nah, it's okay

I respect your concern for the site, and i guess i was being slightly bitchy about it. People like you are the ones people respect in real life.

Reply to your comment

Just here to say, that I read a bit of your story and I like it. Also, if this isn't too much to ask, I thought maybe you could help me with my writing skills, since I have close to zero experience about writing about sex and stuff. But if you don't want to, I understand. I'll try and read as much as I can on the rest of your story next time, and try to give you a full review. --Chaomaster 22:00 15 March 2014

Number of views

It's true that the site used to automatically display the number of views on every page you pulled up. It's just one of those things that stopped functioning. It would be nice to have that back, since every user is always curious if their work is being read. Site-functionality issues have to go to RobKohr, not me. He's the only one who could restore that automatic function.

I'll experiment with variations on {{NUMBEROFVIEWS}} and see if I can't come up something. --Platypus 11:35, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

I've been kicking around the idea of adding to the warn1 template to include those links, so I think we'll keep it with your amendment. --Platypus 02:26, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm sure there are ways that the look of the site could be improved. The site is improved from some of the older formats that it had. I promise to be openminded about any suggestions you might have. Anything that would involve changing the underlying wiki code or wiki functionality would have to go through RobKohr, of course. --Platypus 11:40, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Platypus' other talk

Are you doing fine? No, you're doing better than that. It's okay for some of your pages to be works in progress. You've contributed a lot, not just to your own story (which is very well written, btw), but to the site as whole by assisting with some of the overdue cleanup. Don't worry so much and keep on keeping on as you've been doing. --Platypus 12:48, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

I'd noticed that Gunior has taken over Smutty Sex Romp 2, and despite his blurb about using proper grammar and spelling, his writing leaves much to be desired. You know something? I'm going to let him run with it. There's something about SSR that attracts an awful lot of truly awful writers. Maybe it's the fact that I only allow the well-written pages to remain undeleted. But maybe if I allow a poorly written knockoff to remain as is, unpoliced by me, the poor writers will flock there and leave the original SSR to be written by those of us who have an actual concept of grammar. As long as SSR2's page are categorized, let them use poor grammar, worse spelling, and dead-end pages with missing options. --Platypus 15:40, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

I really do appreciate all you've done to help clean up the site. The backlog builds up so quickly around here! It seems like only yesterday when we had all the stories on the site on the Main Page... and it was all good because we only had five stories! --Platypus 17:30, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

You're too new to know this, but this site was originally Choose Your Own Adventure, not Create Your Own Adventure. The name had to be changed for legal purposes. The thing is, when the site moved to the new name, the files were also moved to the new name. The links in the pages weren't. It wouldn't have hurt the story any to cut the file link out, but all that needed doing was updating the word 'choose' in the link to 'create' and the link was fixed.

Look at those dates in the history. I last wrote in that story back in 2007! --Platypus 16:34, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Just so you know... If someone's posted an uncategorized page, you can click on 'what links here' over to the left and find out what the previous page in story is. Hopefully, it will be a page with a category on it. It usually will be, unless the user is a newbie who's just posted page after page without reading the site rules first.

And sometimes you'll see that several pages, from different stories, link to the new page. That can get messy to sort out.--Platypus 14:22, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

I have very low hopes for poor Family guy. Ugh! --Platypus 02:12, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations on getting through the Adult section. That was quite a task you took on. At least the other sections aren't nearly as overwhelmed with clutter as the Adult section. --Platypus 12:42, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

I don't mind doing a bit (or a lot) of deleting. The site really does need to have these unstarted stories swept out every few years. --Platypus 15:49, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

The Hitchhiker's template works because it's the same image on every page. If the image was a variable, then the page addressing the template would have to have the image link on it, invoking the edit limitations that you're trying to avoid. Great pic though.--Platypus 12:52, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Single-use templates would allow you to edit the page where you're displaying the image without having to fight the edit limitations. I wouldn't consider that spammy, since you have valid, story-oriented reasons for doing it. I wouldn't worry about displaying anything too adult, either. There's nothing that you can't find on display on the net these days, and if someone ignores the Adult warning and goes blind because of a pic you displayed, they have only themselves to blame.

I've occasionally caught someone trying to edit pages describing sex with preteens to add years to the underage characters' ages, but these self-declared censors don't stick around long. --Platypus 13:06, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

I do wish there was some way to remove restictions from established users. Unfortunately, before the site had these restrictions, we were being bombarded with spam pages full of dangerous links and real pages were being vandalized to add spam links. And as irritating as it is to keep reloading because of the 'load limit reached' thing, before the site was restricted, the bot traffic was so heavy that pages took as many as five minutes to load. Yes, every page would load that slowly, because there were simply so many bots crawling the site. It was an awful time. --Platypus 12:17, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

I was thinking of retaining the one and only page that BigTR categorized correctly (as opposed to the pages where he put the word Category in bold type instead of putting it inside the double brackets), but it's probably not worth it. Even if he did manage to get the category right on other pages, he was very transparently trying to rip off Smutty Sex Romp, and doing it poorly. --Platypus 11:37, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

I agree that that is a very nice pic. And unfortunately, you're right to avoid posting pics of yourself on the web. --Platypus 11:57, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Glad to know I was missed. I've just been getting over a really nasty cold. Nasty enough that I've hardy been out of bed for days.--Platypus 16:03, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

On the one hand, I like looking at pictures as much as the next guy. On the other hand, as a writer, I see no reason why words alone can't carry a story. Describing clothing in detail can be difficult though and can really bog down a story, so if you feel those details are important, a picture might simply be the best shortcut.

Yeah, not exactly a definitive answer. --Platypus 13:25, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Glad to be back. I was laid up in the hospital with pneumonia for over a week. Not fun. But I'm much better now. --Platypus 18:43, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations! Glad to hear that you're still around. And having a baby boy... That's really creating your own adventure! --Platypus 11:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. The site's attracting way too many bad posters lately. --Platypus 11:39, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Welcome back! --Platypus 10:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Regarding your comments

+Hi thank you for your recent criticisms regarding my IE story, I am using word to paste and check grammar however being English, the setting I use is English/UK not English/US these settings although they use the same language, spelling and grammar can vary wildly.

+As regarding racial stereotypes, I find stories are always written to suit a specific audience, therefore people expect to read about well-endowed men having sexual relations with often naive women, whereas relationships of a more mature loving type would be best placed in the mature story category.

+As for the shallow characters, it is sadly part of the limited story arc, as a simple choice in the story can discard a character arc this limits the depth of most characters, as there seems little point in go to in-depth on a character who may lost two story segments, if I was writing a novel I could round them out and make them more three dimensional people who you could grow to love and care about.

+Don't mind the criticisms at all as it is the first time I've done any real writing in twenty years and I'm always looking for ways to improve my technique.

Blackadder38

Sympathy from the Devil (i.e Men).

I find men to be a complicated bunch. Take mine for example when we're alone He is the sweetest, kindest man I've ever known, but when he's with his friends he's as crude and crass as the rest of them. Admittedly he is twenty years older than I am and from a different generation and culture, so I don't try to change, well not too much anyway, but when my oldest son makes similar remarks I come down on him like a ton of bricks.

As for gaining sympathy or empathy from the male populace, it may work on some but again it’s about the target audience, all my stories will only have characters engaging in sex if they are above the age of consent (16 UK), and rape and death will be too a minimum and only as a result of bad choices or very bad luck, I won't avoid the subject because unfortunately it does happen.

Regarding your suicide attempts I can only sympathize with you, and can only imagine how low and depressed you must have been to even think of it as a way out.

Thanks!

Thanks for the grammar edits! - Bojangler

I'm not really sure how to post messages to others and I hope I'm doing it right. So thanks a lot for telling me how to get a line gap. I was searching for it myself. - countingStars

Defnota's Messages

I appreciate you letting me know how to delete pages, but also for letting me know this wiki is still alive. I was writing for myself, as I have no idea how to tell how much traffic a wiki gets, but it's nice to know there are other people here. -Defnota 24th of March, 2014

That's really nice of you, it's not too fun thinking you're in an empty community. Kind of isolating, even if just while you're on here. -Defnota 24th of March, 2014

        My message to Platypus was based on the assumption that he or she hosts the wiki, thus I could send them code to implement if they needed it.
The message was also based on the assumption MediaWiki allows one to write their own code. As for cleaning the wiki, I would need to know what I'm cleaning, but of that I have no idea. -Defnota 25th of March, 2014

        Thank you for your knowledge of who hosts the wiki, turns out editthis.info has a features request.
I put in a request for admin's to be able to change the code, which might not do too much depending on how tech savvy the admins are, but it would at least give the option. -Defnota 25th of March, 2014

        Also, how would I go about helping the clean-up and organization of the site? -Defnota 25th of March, 2014

        Oh, crap, sorry about that, there was no intention to ignore. For some reason the message indicator didn't show up for any of those messages.
Nonetheless, should probably get some sleep, so I won't be on for a bit. -Defnota 25th of March, 2014

        Thank you, I thought I'd give the main page a go, but as you probably already know: HTML is lots of trial and error.
If you want practice doing HTML just make a practice page and copy one of the site's pages, then goof around with it. -Defnota 25th of March, 2014

        By the by, what do you think I should use for colours? The page is look rather bland at the moment. -Defnota 25th of March, 2014

        Do think it would be okay if on the page How to create a page, I changed the story format from "|[[ Your story]]|| 0 || public or private"
to "[[Your Story]] || {{PAGESINCAT:Your Story}} Pages || Public or Private"? It's a little harder to write, but it is way more organized and means you don't have to update your page count.
Defnota 05:12, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

        Fair enough, but speaking of magic words, do you think that if one were to run the __TOC__ magic word through
one of the alternate parsers (mediawiki.org/wiki/Alternative_parsers) into HTML, and then dissect it, that they could use it as a collapsible element?
-Defnota 05:30, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

        Oh, as an alternative, if one could link to an external stylesheet, or get the HTML <style> tags working to make an internal stylesheet,
people could start using css3 instead of javascript to make collapsible elements. That would also mean we could use vector images and we could animate page elements.
-Defnota 06:09, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

        Thanks, took a-lot of effort, but was definitely worth it.
-Defnota 01:55, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

        Re-writing it, didn't plan it out at all, and there wasn't much for writing on any of the pages.
-Defnota 05:28, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

- Page Layout -

        The problem is that either your image or your template has a massive whitespace margin. This margin can't be changed with HTML.

• If the margin is in the image, you should use Photoshop to edit it out.
• If the margin is in the template, there isn't much I can do for you.

-Defnota 05:47, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

- Page Layout Two-

        To do it without knowing very much HTML you could use positioning (w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_position.asp),
but positioning tends to create a billion little problems. I emailed you a modified version of your image without the margins,
I heavily recommend using that instead, and I could probably help you get the page set up then.
-Defnota 23:40, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

- Angst of Mass Destruction -

        I'm somewhat alright, between writer's block frustrations and being angsty and dramatic I tend to do silly things sometimes.
Such things as just deleting everything, everywhere, that's why I never end up writing much.
-Defnota 22:52, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Minnie May Hopkin's talk

Thanks for dealing with the sub category. I didn't find out yet how to do it myself. - MMH

Thank You For Your Message

Hey! Thanks for welcoming me to this site. I've begun a fantasy adventure called Faire Isle Adventure. Hopefully I will be able to make it a good long story length despite my busy life. Good luck with your writing and have a good day! --Stargirlsnr5 11:54, 29 March 2014

WriterGhost talk

Thanks for your thoughts regarding "Adventure at the TG Thriftshop." The "Name" area has changed on paths already, with Craig becoming Kortney (Blonde Bikini Model) and Triss (Redheaded Clerk).

Completionist Talk

As you probably already noticed, I'm new to the site so I haven't read much of the stories yet, but I'm looking forward to reading some of your stories, too.

Male perspective? Sounds pretty challenging. Let me try to come up with a brainstorm first and see where I get to. If it's passable for me to build upon, then it will be done. But if not, then I'll continue my brainstorming for that. For the meantime, thanks for the invite. --Completionist 22:24, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for organizing some of the links and making the subcategories. I've been meaning to do that but had trouble figuring out what and where to input it since the tutorial's directions were a little vague to me. Now it all makes sense and I'll try to remember doing that for the later stories as well.--Completionist 15:41, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for adding those categories in for me. I was originally planning on adding them later once I get around the branching of each story, but I guess doing those categories while editing helps too.--Completionist 02:22, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

I hope I'm doing well, then! lol. Feel free to add stuff and fix all those red-links, too! I trust your English (haha). It's never a one-person story! --Completionist 02:38, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Well, personal or not, there is a line people simply cannot cross. That's why they added another category for those types that want to cross the line. I see how you did create that elaboration to detail on that page; to be honest I would not even have the will to think of the scenario and make a story on it. In the story's sense, I haven't read much on it, but I would assume a fantasy story would not lead to that kind of choice or outcome at all. I also hope that page would at least be re-edited for consistency...and better taste--Completionist 05:10, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Oh, don't misunderstand. The last comment was more of a compliment than criticism. I see the elaboration there and the detail's strong and visual enough to catch someone's attention to fix it. I see the satirical aspect, I'm just shocked that you can find the courage to actually recreate the scenario in your head. If it was me, I'd just get nightmares from it lol--Completionist 18:21, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

A bit coincidental, but I was suggesting a similar change to the Main Page to Platypus, too. I just didn't know we could revamp it ourselves haha.--Completionist 04:58, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

One more note, if possible. A quick suggestion about the stuff on the main page: Introduction first, followed by Tutorial as a separate section (to avoid people from overlooking it), then the To-Do list. Also, just an honest thought: I don't think we should add that P.S. about the adult section since it might tempt/encourage the little kids to scroll down to find them. Again, just an opinion. :)--Completionist 05:30, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Ah, good point. I'll just wait on his reply for that, then. As for the welcoming thing, I guess I shall assume the mantle for now. Just for fun. Who knows, maybe someone would actually reply to me and stay for a bit haha. Hoping to create a mini-community somehow. (Maybe add one of those chats on my page if I figure out how to embed it).--Completionist 05:47, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Right. It is too random and inconsistent. That said, those pages came from the original author / whoever last edited it (my edit was only to categorize the page; I'm still writing out the story for that branch fix). If you go to the main story's discussion page, I have those specific links under the "Clean-Up" section. I'm glad you're proofreading the story, though. Thanks for that. It's nice to see someone's reading the story. :)--Completionist 16:39, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

As I previously said, I've been trying to find a way to rewrite that particular branching in the story that you've been talking about. And guess what? It's almost done! Feel free to critique and compare to the previous page done by the original author. TRTC/Cafe--Completionist 05:23, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Also, I see that Abandoned Adult Story page haha. To be honest, I was going to move from family-friendly and head my way down once I finish this one completely. I even had an idea of linking all of them together in a big timeline! Mind if I try helping out? That section is a monster to do by yourself.--Completionist 05:35, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

That sounds like a start of a big project. You might even need to recruit more people with dirty minds! I haven't read them, either, but I would suggest either separating them by scenarios, mostly. As far as gender goes, I would assume some kind of shape-shifting device for a quick change (i.e. potions, remote, machine, or trouble-making fairy right beside you). But like you said, we'll never know until we actually read what these stories are about.--Completionist 06:11, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

So I made a chat just to somehow make things more community-ish. I can't post outside links without angering the bots so if you want to try it out, feel free to visit my page. Well, that's it for now. Gotta tell the other users about it. Hopefully it works out ^_^ --Completionist 20:13, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the fix. And thanks for telling me about how they read it. Anyway, just another quick reply. Hope we can get people into the chat, too... if ever needed.--Completionist 05:35, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

...

Just saying a quick hi to show that I'm still alive (kinda)! Well, anyway, to another topic: how goes the Adult Abandoned Story? Feel free to reply either by usual post or that chat I setup (I would probably reply faster with this option). Just saying hi again!--Completionist 04:46, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Realism

Hi Dirtyme,

Yes I do realize what a cervix is capable/incapable of doing, but it is a fantasy story. I hope most people who have read my story know this, or else their SO might be in for a painful surprise! Thanks for the response. Happy writing!

haha, Literally just noticed that and fixed the link before reading the message -JerryCraft

Sorry about that...

First off I'm sorry for my actions. Let me just clarify... I didn't delete any of your content (I don't hate any of it, in contrast to your assumption), I simply broke off that particular page into two pages... since that particular idea I had required a choice in the middle of the actions detailed on that particular page. It was intrusion on my part and I am sorry, but since you flagged it as Public I thought you wouldn't mind. My sincerest apologies... --R`1412 1852 hrs, Tue 29 Apr 2014 (UTC)

It's fine... its fine really... I was ignorant. This was my first time trying to contribute to a story. I thought it was fine as long as I kept all the materials in there via branching. I shall find alternative methods to include the idea I had but until then I started creating new branches. :) I have learnt my lesson and won't repeat. --R`1412 1234 hrs, Wed 30 Apr 2014 (UTC)

Been a while since i've been on this site so I used the wrong \, thx for the tips :-) --Zoroastra

About trees.

That's a table with border="0" (you can't see all the cells) and cellspacing="0" (lines between cells solid).
The "connecting lines" is a cell's borders which I made visible. --WCold 07 May 2014

Narutostory reply

Thanks for the heads up! I'll be completely revamping the entire "Invading the Cult" story over the next month or two so I plan on having a bit fall out of index for a bit but I'll fix it all at the end if I can. Checking for spelling, consistency, making it all sound better, adding stats/quests/abilities at the bottom. Anyways, thanks for the heads up, I'll have to remember to go back and fix that when I'm done.

Help - Defnota

        Hey, you know that one time we emailed each other? Do you still have my email address? I locked myself out of my email and need to confirm that I'm spelling it correctly,
and you're the only person I've ever emailed.
- Defnota 21:21, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

        Thank you, you beautiful person! I thought someone had hijacked my email, but it turns out that my email address has a spelling error in it and I was spelling "definitely" properly these last few times.
I am ever so grateful, thank you again for your help.

Elerneron talk

Thanks for you encouragement on Primal Influence. It is very appreciated. I was wondering if there is a way to change my way I do categories from the current - system to the / system without causing to much trouble, or is it going to create redundant pages no matter what I do? --Elerneron

Thanks for reminder

Thanks for helping me get started and for all the reminders. As you can see from all the previously missing links that I'm still learning my way around the site. I may have inadvertently committed some infraction that I am working on avoiding in the future. Please bear with me, I think I'm starting to get the hang of things around this site.

Hey DirtyMe! Got a Quick Request

Hey so I've had a ghost story The Ghost of the Mansion sitting around for a while, luckily recently chapters have been added, but with so few people writing it isn't expanding fast. I was wondering if you could help by perhaps adding a few chapters yourself if you are interested. I believe the story is relatively unique and has good potential. If you don't want to, I won't mind.
