-	Hey Platypus again, on the main page The Devils Daughter has no apostrophe if I put an apostrophe wouldn't it totally spaz out?	+	== 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?
-	Sorry Platypus about not putting down the Category, my bad there, still getting the hang of this system!! Forgive me :D	+
-	-- Not sure what you mean by the last message I received, as I copied off of the main tutorial page on how to add category.	+	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.
-	--[[User:Missredelle|Missredelle]]	+	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.
-	Sry, I'm from germany and those hs cause me alot of trouble:D By the way, this was my first writing here and I would appreciate some feedback maybe. Thanks for the correcting	+	- [[User:WolfDFang|WolfDFang]] 12:55, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
-	--[[User:MCGeddo|MCGeddo]] 21:37, 15 September 2011 (UTC)	+	== Adding Images ==
-	Is what TheSugarTrail is doing with that story of his anything more than spam? Story starts out with pick your hair color. 4 options. Then nothing changes from that other than simple hair color. Then after that comes eye color 3 options again nothing changes b/c of this. Finally a name is picked with 6 options. Nothing changes in the story based on these 3 things. Then you gotta do the math 4 x 3 x 6 = 72 pages per page of actual story. SEVENTY TWO PAGES PER PAGE OF ACTUAL STORY!!!	+	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!
-	The story currently has about 232 pages. Roughly 10 of these 232 pages are not simply a clone of another page with 1 word or letter changed. Each additional actual page to the story will be needed to have 71 clones of it to keep the story going.	+	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 :)

-	--[[User:Yihman1|Yihman1]] 22:03, 5 September 2011 (UTC)	+	== 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.
-	== Dating Site Ads ==	+	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.
-	I know you've probably noticed this by the time you read this, but some person changed the Main Page to some crappy dating site ad. Thankfully, I happened to go on about 45 minutes after this incident and switched it back to the previous addition. This is really starting to piss me off, the Dating Site Ads I mean. Just checking the recent changes now, I see two spam accounts that were just made, with one being the account responsible for doing the griefing on the site. Hopefully this rubbish can finally end. I don't know who is doing this, but one thing is for sure, they must be really bored. --[[User:Heyoeveryone|Heyoeveryone]] 9 October 2011	+	--[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 03:02, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
-	== Review Area ==	+	----
		+	== Alternative home for Smutty? ==
-	Hey Platypus, i've recently finished my last story (though, I need to read it over for grammatical errors), and I was thinking that I should, instead of making another story, I would perhaps make a reviewing area, if this works out well, this could increase publicity for stories which should be read, encourage writers to continue writing on this site, and also give writers constructive criticism (e.g. one choice stories).	+	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)
-	You should be asking by now, why are you asking me? Well, I already asked TheElderOnes, and he says it's a good concept, now i'm just here to ask you if you find it good as well. Perhaps, even helping me do reviews, since you are, a well known person on this site. -- [[User:Heyoeveryone|Heyoeveryone]] 7:36 (AEST), 21 September 2011	+	-
-	A few more questions, where does my review page go? I kind of don't want it to be in some section were no one would see it, since the whole point of this idea is to increase publicity for stories which should be more popular and of course, make consturctive criticisms about the writers story. Also, who are some people you would think are capable and willing to help me write the reviews? -- [[User:Heyoeveryone|Heyoeveryone]] 16:48 (AEST) 21 September 2011	+	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).
-	Maybe you could somehow mix them together. Say, add a third column, then add a link on the main page to all the reviews. The link could tell the reader how the reviews are done. -- [[User:Heyoeveryone| Heyoeveryone]] September 23 2011	+	Main NSFW content rules seem to be that
-	Cool! Just tell me when you're ready. Though, I think that I may need help with this project. Since I can't play through every single story without becoming too stressed (I don't want this to become a 'real' job). Plus, I have some personal issues to attend to, so I cannot necessarily log in every day. So I'm suggesting that we should make a 'ad' for people willing to review, they can send you or me a message detailing why he or she should be allowed to review. Or, we can go a easier way and just make a 'user reviews' section. Then, if we find certain reviews that are of high quality, we just move it to the 'official reviews' section.	+	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
-	Oh and sorry for the late reply. --[[User:Heyoeveryone|Heyoeveryone]] 20:57 (AEST) 24 September 2011	+	2. No pornographic images of real people (drawings and 3D renders seem to be fine)
-	Hey, can you umm... make the reviews page for me, i'm kind of scared when changing the site such as this. You can leave it red linked if you want, and i'll just add in the stuff. -- [[User:Heyoeveryone|Heyoeveryone]] 30 September 2011	+	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.
-	Thank you!!! And you're welcome to write reviews anytime. --[[User:Heyoeveryone|Heyoeveryone]] 2 October 2011	+	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.
-	== Question on something that could be considered a "nonstory" ==	+	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).
-	Hi, Platypus, do you know how to make a personalized status indicator? I'd like to get rid of the MP stuff and add more stuff on it -[[User:Storylover141|Storylover141]] 17:56 PDT, 25 September 2011	+	If you don't mind my asking, why are you so hesitant to relocate?
-	All right. So, I've been plotting this big universe in which my stories occur, and after writing a certain story, I plan on finally writing a really big story that involves characters from all of the stories (and new ones, of course), meeting up and sh- stuff. But, what I had been planning is writing a little bit of a supplementary thing, bridging some of the events of the stories and connecting them before the real fun can begin.	+	--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] ([[User talk:Pickles|Talk]]) 17:34, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
-	However, this would just be in a diary format, with "forward" and "backwards" options being on pages. Now comes my question - would it be cool if I did that as a separate story, or should I add it in as pages in the Elderpedia (this is my current idea)... I could, of course, do it on another site, but that's the least attractive option. The pages, if added to the Elderpedia would have a title that clearly defines them as part of the Elderpedia, but with a marker like "Elderpedia:BCDiary1" or something similar. Now that I'm ranting, I think it's simpler to end this here. Just wanted to get your opinion on this before going through with it. --[[User:TheElderOnes|TheElderOnes]] 12:00, 15 September 2011 (UTC)	+	: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.
-	Shall do, good sir. --[[User:TheElderOnes|TheElderOnes]] 12:27, 15 September 2011 (UTC)	+	: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.
-	Unrelated to the above question, but I don't want to clutter your page with headlines - Does this wiki have an IRC chat yet? It seems like it would, and a good amount of other wikis have their own. It'd be a good way for people to ask questions to each other, and could even lead to ideas for new stories. I dunno, I just think that this kind of thing would be interesting and was wondering if we already had one set up or not. --[[User:TheElderOnes|TheElderOnes]] 07:03, 17 September 2011 (UTC)	+	: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.
-	Adding here for the same reason stated in my last message here. I saw your discussion with Heyoeveryone, and your ideas on the review page. I thought of a way you could combine them if you want, like the review page being separate like the featured story, as in your first idea, and then once a story is reviewed there, you could do a third column link to either the review page or the specific review.	+	: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.
-	In case it's a bit oddly phrased (Which I'm sure it is), I dicked around for a minute and threw together [[Delete:ReviewExample|this]] to serve as a visual aid. --[[User:TheElderOnes|TheElderOnes]] 05:58, 22 September 2011 (UTC)	+	:--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] ([[User talk:Pickles|Talk]]) 02:22, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
-	More spam, dude. [[How can established folks perceive estimable absol|Here,]] [[I thought this was about time I acquainted myself‎|here,]] and [[It is primo how mavericks must not fully explain a|here,]] and the users in question are [[User:Andreatsde|Andreatsde,]] [[User:Randyjukla|Randyjukla]] and [[User:Beatrizwbm|Beatrizwbm.]] --[[User:TheElderOnes|TheElderOnes]] 07:33, 23 September 2011 (UTC)	+	== Am I doing this right? ==
-	== General Disclaimer ==	+	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.
-	Please understand that, well, the General Disclaimer page was indeed not part of a story, it is a legal page. It <nowiki>[most likely]</nowiki> freed this site from liability including slander and defamation.	+	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 '''[[: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?

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?

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?

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.
