[[Idea Pitches]]
+
If you want to practice editing, you should do so on the [[Sandbox]].
-
*Hint: If you don't care enough about your writing to attempt to use proper grammar or spelling, chances are people won't care to read it. If you want to practice editing, you should do so on the [[Sandbox]] page.

== The Rules ==
-
== [[Featured CYOA Nominations|Featured Story]] ==
+
Here is a list of the rules. Follow them, or else you will be banned. It is also recommended to read the tutorial.
-
[[Harry Potter]] and the adventure chosen by you
+
-
<br> Allows you many options to either make or break the start of Harry Potter's wizarding carreer. Nominated by [[User:Rawar]].
+
-
*[[Previous Featured Stories]]
+
*Rule 1: No underage sex. If any underage sex is found then the writer will be banned without any chance to appeal.
 +
*Rule 2: Do not vandalize the wiki, story pages, category pages, user pages, talk pages, index pages, user talk pages, etc. In short, do not vandalize anything.
 +
*Rule 3: Always [[Basic page format|categorize your pages]]. If you don't, after enough warnings, you will be banned.
 +
*Rule 4: If you create a link, and it leads to another page, change your link, not the other page.
 +
*Rule 5: Do not modify the main page to a large extent.
 +
*Rule 6: Do not substantially change someone else's page without their authorization. Adding a few things, okay. Adding options, no problem. Completely re-writing another page, no. How would you like it if someone did that to your work?
 +
*Rule 7: Well, if you have any questions, or need to know something, leave a message at [[User talk:Platypus]].

'''Tags and Labels:'''
 +
* Stories with the {{Public}} tag are stories that are meant to be edited and added to at any time. Please adhere to any notes listed on the story's entree.
 +
* Stories with the {{Private}} tag are stories that are only to be worked on and added to by the original author or the current primary author. Please refrain from editing these stories without receiving express permission of the original author.
 +
* Stories with the {{DNE}} tag are not to be edited at all (except perhaps to fix spelling, grammar, or link errors).
 +
* Stories with the {{Abandoned}} tag are stories (Usually private in nature) that have apparently been abandoned by the original author. They haven't been worked on in at least 6 months and may be "claimed" by another author who becomes the current primary author. If that author stops working on the project, then the abandoned tag is reapplied. Note: The original author may still return, and thus their decisions take precedence if that proves to be the case.
 +
* Stories with the {{Adopted}} tag are formerly abandoned stories where another Author has "adopted" ownership of the work. They are maintaining, updating, and/or adding to the original work on a regular basis in absence of the original author, and as though he/she were the original author.
 +
* Stories with the {{WIP}} Tag are stories that are still in the process of experiencing major additions to the story.
 +
* Please put '''all''' tags in the notes section and not the pages section of the story repository, unless otherwise stated.
-
You twist and turn, yet you still cant fall asleep.
+
'''Organization:'''
 +
* Please use the <nowiki>{{PAGESINCAT:<Story Name>}}</nowiki> tag to denote the number of pages in your story; that way, you don't have to manually update the page count every time you add or remove a page. Put this tag under the pages column.
-
"Damn it!" you wisper to yourself.
+
== Tips ==
-
You look at the time on your clock, it says 3:00AM.
+
*If you don't care enough about your writing to attempt to use proper grammar or spelling, chances are that people won't care to read it. If grammar isn't your strong suit, you may want to look over some [[Grammatical Tips]].
 +
*Don't give too many options when starting a new story and leave half of them redlinked. Focus on a small number of story threads at first.
 +
*Outline a general plan for what the intention of your story is when you start it, what genre it belongs to and what themes it has.
 +
*As alternative to plain formatting for your story, you may try using ''Italics'' to write the Narration, regular Font for character Dialogue and '''Bold''' for Character/Item/Location names or important developments. Example: ''As you walked through the'' '''Forest''', ''you heard a young girl calling out for you.'' "Jack! Wait for me! I have a gift for you!" ''Kate runs up to you and gives you the'' '''MacGuffin'''.  Whatever style you choose, try to keep it consistent throughout the story.
 +
*If you are having difficulty spacing out paragraphs, you can use <nowiki><br></nowiki>, which works as a line-break.
 +
*Don't inject crude humor into a story that's intended to be played straight.
 +
*The characterization of the protagonist, whatever he or she receives, should be consistent from choice to choice. If the protagonist chooses to kill someone and feels a great amount of guilt and regret over it, do not put in a choice where he/she later brags about killing that person unless there is some internal or external justification for it.
 +
*If you are writing about a franchise such as ''Dungeons and Dragons'' or ''Star Wars'', please do some basic research on the setting of the franchise. If, for example, you are writing about a story that is set in the ''Forgotten Realms'' world, please do not mention Pelor as while he is a Dungeons and Dragons god, he does not exist in ''Forgotten Realms''. Ilmater, Lathander, and Torm are gods in the ''Forgotten Realms'' setting and are acceptable enough to switch with Pelor, as mentioned in the ''Forgotten Realms'' 3.5 edition of the Campaign Setting rulebook. 
 +
*Please categorize the pages in your story. For example, if your story is called "The Story", then please add <nowiki>[[Category:The Story]]</nowiki> to each new page you create for your story.

==[[Pit of Abandoned Stories]]==
+
<h4>[[Sandbox]]</h4>
-
Stories of less than ten pages that haven't been worked on by anyone in some time will be dropped into the Pit. Feel free to retrieve stories from the Pit and put them back here on the Main Page if you get inspired and add to one.

-
==Creating a Story==
+
Test out your editing skills.
-
If you have an idea for a story, you might like to try [[Idea Pitches|pitching your idea to other users]] and seeing how interested people might be in playing your story, what you could do to make playing your story fun, and who might be interested in collaborating with you to write it. Once you have done that, you can create it by entering your desired name for the Story into the search box and clicking '''Go'''. If the name has not already been taken, click <font color="red">this exact title</font> to start the story.<br><br>There are three general types of story. The first is the branching-plot story (an example of this is the Choose Your Own Adventure series of gamebooks), which require the reader to make choices but are otherwise like a regular novel. The second type is the role-playing game adventure, which combines the branching-plot novel with simple role-playing rules such as attack points and monster battles. The third type is the trivia quiz, where the player must answer questions as if they were on a game show.

Stories that are chosen for the spotlight based on length, plot, how well it fits together, and overall quality. Will be rotated out fairly regularly.
-
To avoid accidentally crossing with other users' stories, it may be best to create pages with more than just an option name, like [[Unicorns]] or [[Open your eyes]]. Instead, when you create a new page, call it [[You have to slay The Dragon/_Page 1]] or [[YOUR CRAZY/Give up]]. You can have the link name be whatever you want though, like this:
+
<h4>[[Popular Stories| Popular Works]]</h4>

Stories that everyone likes to read, have been featured many times, or were at one point on the front page.
-
===Tips===
+
<h4>[[Recently Updated Works]]</h4>
-
*Don't give too many options when starting a new story and leave half of them redlinked. Focus on a small number of story threads at first.
+
 
-
*Outline a general plan for what the intention of your story is when you start it: What genre and themes it belongs to.
+
Stories that were updated within the last couple of months.
-
*As alternative to plain formatting for your story, you may try using ''Italics'' to write the Narration, regular Font for character Dialogue and '''Bold''' for Character/Item/Location names or important developments. Example: ''As you walked through the'' '''Forest''', ''you heard a young girl calling out for you.'' "Jack! Wait for me! I have a gift for you!" ''Kate runs up to you and gives you the'' '''MacGuffin'''.  Whatever style you choose, try to keep it consistent throughout the story.
+
 
-
*If you are having difficulty spacing out paragraphs, you can use <nowiki><br></nowiki>. Example:
+
<h4>[[Up & Coming Works]]</h4>
-
*<nowiki>This is an example of how to break up paragraphs on a page.<br><br>This is the same example.</nowiki> will show as:
+
-
This is an example of how to break up paragraphs on a page.<br><br>This is the same example.
+
-
*Don't inject crude humor into a story that's intended to be played straight.
+
-
*Please categorize the pages in your story. For example, if your story is called "The Story", then please add <nowiki>[[Category:The Story]]</nowiki> to each new page you create for your story.
+
-
==Rules==
+
Stories with less than 50 pages and/or stories that were started within the last two years, that are regularly being worked on and updated.
-
People have a tendency to create branches where the character dies. To prevent the story from being just a tree with all dead ends:
+
-
*For each page where you kill the player's character, you must create at least 2 pages (with content) where s/he can go on.
+
-
*Please stick to the theme and setting of the story, and discuss ideas for major changes on the discussion pages.  Although creativity is encouraged, radical plot changes and inconsistencies will ruin the flow.
+
-
*If something is off topic, remove it.
+
-
*Try to capitalize and spell your words correctly.
+
-
*'''ADD OPTIONS AND NOT JUST TEXT!'''  Complete pages include options so the story can continue (unless the page is an ending).  Incomplete pages will be edited or deleted.
+
-
==To Do List==
+
<h4>[[Pit of Abandoned Stories|Abandoned Stories]]</h4>
-
*Go through and fix or remove status indicators from pages.
+
-
**Some are not needed in stories and were copied and pasted from the template.
+
-
**Some are missing the level and MP from the line of code.
+
-
*Remove off-topic pages.
+
-
*Correct capitalization and spelling mistakes.
+
-
*Add a basic, or main, timeline of background events during the period that the character is making choices in - those events are usually out of the character's control. This will help add consistency.
+
-
*Pages with major spelling, grammar or other problems, but not problems that render the page spam and a candidate for deletion, should be categorized in the Pages Requiring Attention Category to get other editors to help fix it up. If a page is not yet complete, add it to Category:Pages Under Construction so people know the editor is still working on it and it does not need to have someone improve it.
+
-
*Story Endings should be categorized with Category:Endings.
+
-
== Poor Taste Stories ==
+
Stories that haven't been updated in a while. Feel free to retrieve stories from here and put them back on the appropriate story-type page if you get inspired and add to one.

Create Your Own Story

Create Your Own Story is a wiki that thrives on a kind of Interactive Fiction called Choose Your Own Adventure stories. CYOA's are stories where the reader assumes the role of the main character. On each page, you make a choice that decides how the story should progress. If you don't see an option that you would like to pursue, click the Edit Tab on the top of the page and add a new path to the page then write in your own story for the character.

Please note that this site is specifically for Create Your Own Stories with the ability to select from different choices. If you decide to post a story that has no choices, your story will be deleted as such stories are not appropriate.

We currently have 123,441 articles.

Getting Started

If you're new to this site, please read our Tutorial to learn how to edit stories. Please do not add new stories to the Main Page. Add new stories to the sub-pages for each story type below. New stories added to the Main Page will be removed from the Main Page post haste.

If you want to practice editing, you should do so on the Sandbox.

The Rules

Here is a list of the rules. Follow them, or else you will be banned. It is also recommended to read the tutorial.

  • Rule 1: No underage sex. If any underage sex is found then the writer will be banned without any chance to appeal.
  • Rule 2: Do not vandalize the wiki, story pages, category pages, user pages, talk pages, index pages, user talk pages, etc. In short, do not vandalize anything.
  • Rule 3: Always categorize your pages. If you don't, after enough warnings, you will be banned.
  • Rule 4: If you create a link, and it leads to another page, change your link, not the other page.
  • Rule 5: Do not modify the main page to a large extent.
  • Rule 6: Do not substantially change someone else's page without their authorization. Adding a few things, okay. Adding options, no problem. Completely re-writing another page, no. How would you like it if someone did that to your work?
  • Rule 7: Well, if you have any questions, or need to know something, leave a message at User talk:Platypus.

*Warning, rules may be updated or modified at any time. Please check back here time to time if you feel the need.

Etiquette and Other Useful Info

Tags and Labels:

  • Stories with the (Public) tag are stories that are meant to be edited and added to at any time. Please adhere to any notes listed on the story's entree.
  • Stories with the (Private) tag are stories that are only to be worked on and added to by the original author or the current primary author. Please refrain from editing these stories without receiving express permission of the original author.
  • Stories with the (Do Not Edit) tag are not to be edited at all (except perhaps to fix spelling, grammar, or link errors).
  • Stories with the (Abandoned) tag are stories (Usually private in nature) that have apparently been abandoned by the original author. They haven't been worked on in at least 6 months and may be "claimed" by another author who becomes the current primary author. If that author stops working on the project, then the abandoned tag is reapplied. Note: The original author may still return, and thus their decisions take precedence if that proves to be the case.
  • Stories with the (Adopted) tag are formerly abandoned stories where another Author has "adopted" ownership of the work. They are maintaining, updating, and/or adding to the original work on a regular basis in absence of the original author, and as though he/she were the original author.
  • Stories with the (WIP) Tag are stories that are still in the process of experiencing major additions to the story.
  • Please put all tags in the notes section and not the pages section of the story repository, unless otherwise stated.

Organization:

  • Please use the {{PAGESINCAT:<Story Name>}} tag to denote the number of pages in your story; that way, you don't have to manually update the page count every time you add or remove a page. Put this tag under the pages column.

Tips

  • If you don't care enough about your writing to attempt to use proper grammar or spelling, chances are that people won't care to read it. If grammar isn't your strong suit, you may want to look over some Grammatical Tips.
  • Don't give too many options when starting a new story and leave half of them redlinked. Focus on a small number of story threads at first.
  • Outline a general plan for what the intention of your story is when you start it, what genre it belongs to and what themes it has.
  • As alternative to plain formatting for your story, you may try using Italics to write the Narration, regular Font for character Dialogue and Bold for Character/Item/Location names or important developments. Example: As you walked through the Forest, you heard a young girl calling out for you. "Jack! Wait for me! I have a gift for you!" Kate runs up to you and gives you the MacGuffin. Whatever style you choose, try to keep it consistent throughout the story.
  • If you are having difficulty spacing out paragraphs, you can use <br>, which works as a line-break.
  • Don't inject crude humor into a story that's intended to be played straight.
  • The characterization of the protagonist, whatever he or she receives, should be consistent from choice to choice. If the protagonist chooses to kill someone and feels a great amount of guilt and regret over it, do not put in a choice where he/she later brags about killing that person unless there is some internal or external justification for it.
  • If you are writing about a franchise such as Dungeons and Dragons or Star Wars, please do some basic research on the setting of the franchise. If, for example, you are writing about a story that is set in the Forgotten Realms world, please do not mention Pelor as while he is a Dungeons and Dragons god, he does not exist in Forgotten Realms. Ilmater, Lathander, and Torm are gods in the Forgotten Realms setting and are acceptable enough to switch with Pelor, as mentioned in the Forgotten Realms 3.5 edition of the Campaign Setting rulebook.
  • Please categorize the pages in your story. For example, if your story is called "The Story", then please add [[Category:The Story]] to each new page you create for your story.
