This is a great idea, but the problem is that the story lacks focus.  Everyone is just adding to it in crazy directions with some adult content thrown in.  Although I guess its funny, it will never be a story.  I suggest that the authors try their best to constrain it to the world of the story, and not have things like out of place items like possibly cell phones or celebrities, etc. (I am talking here about the non-adult stories.)

::I completely agree, but keep in mind that if you see something that doesn't belong, feel free to cut it out. Also all it takes is one person with the urge to create a focused storyline. Right now everyone is just putting in little peices just for the heck of it.
+
-
::::I agree that story focus will be a problem with the current system (I also agree that this is a great idea). How about writing a short blurb on the beginning page when starting a new story? It could work as a setting definition for that story, and as a reference when editors weigh whether new additions to that story are appropriate or not. It would also work as a traditional book blurb, making it easier for readers to choose stories to their liking. [[User:E.p.|E.p.]] 11:15, 12 December 2006 (EST)

== Princess Carkegee ==
+
-
*I'm confused about the Kid's adventure, Princess Carkegee. It seems to be about religion, in which not many people would take interest. The plot is mixed up and confusing, and it seems to be focusing on more then one religion at once. The title does not mix into the adventure. The adventure, I think, needs to be changed.

**I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't make heads or tails out of that story.  I'm not sure if it's meant to be Buddhist, Christian or what. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 09:03, 14 February 2007 (EST)

== Page counts ==

*The page counts seem wildly off.

-
*And how do you figure that?  Many stories here have their own status bar.  By going to the Special Page 'Most Linked To Pages', you can see precisely how many pages link to a status bar.  So the pages counts aren't guesses.  They're computed by the site itself. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 10:22, 9 February 2007 (EST)

== Categories ==
+
-

Categories need to be created for each individual story. Makes it easier to group them and keep track of your pages. Also, I've created [[:Category:Templates]] for all "Status" templates - [[User:Kwenn|Kwenn]] 12:45, 9 February 2007 (EST)
+
-
 
+
-
It isn't necessary to categorize every page in a story.  Having a status bar unique to that story serves pretty much the same function.  But a category for templates is a good idea. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 13:10, 9 February 2007 (EST)

+
-
:*On the first page, the category bar reads <nowiki>[[Category:Boromir's Quest| ]].  The blank space after the | floats the page to the top of the index. If it read [[Category: Boromir's Quest|Z]], it would alphabetize the page under Z, no matter what the actual page title is.  For most pages, it should simply be [[Category: Boromir's Quest]].  With no |, it alphabetizes by itself. </nowiki>--[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 17:02, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

== Category experiment. ==
+
-
 
+
-
I know we've discussed categories before, and that some people have decided that it's unnecessary to put every page of a story in a category. I disagree, personally, I think that the current method is too unorganized, and when I see a page in recent changes, I can't tell what story it belongs to. So as a compromise, I'm going to start assigning categories to one story ([[Dead Kid]]) as a trial. If it works out well, we move on the next story. If it doesn't work out, well, it doesn't work out. (IMO, this plan makes at least as much sense as starting all of the Victim pages with "Victim:"). &mdash; [[User:LastUserNameEver|LastUserNameEver]] 11:55, 15 March 2007 (EST)
+
-
 
+
-
I disagree. Although I do find it hard to tell what story certain pages go into (especially if no status bar was placed on the page), I don't think that categorys are needed for each story and individual page. Although I don't really mind experimenting, I just don't want you to kill yourself caregorizing every page on the site. [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]
+
-
 
+
-
I think having unique status bars for each story works just as well, but I have nothing against experimenting. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 13:10, 15 March 2007 (EST)
+
-
 
+
-
What is going on!? Categories are being placed for each and every story, even for the crumbling Island of Utobi! I don't know why everyone wants to categorize every page! Isn't ten categories enough? [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

== fake link spamming ==

I have recieved the follwing message whan trying to edit main page:

-
 
+
-
If you are the admin of this wiki, you can go to the control panel for instructions on how to add this to the white list."
+
-
the word sex was not even written by me (in fcat I was just changing a 0 into a 5), but part of category descriptions, and if I were to try and delete all instnces of it, that would render one story unreadable. so... um... help?

And now, that story is becoming weird. I mean, first you're stranded on a desert island, and the next (if you choose the right path, of course)you come to a telephone booth where someone dropped their wallet. It would be best if the authors kept to the world of the story and didn't go overboard (this is also refering to a user who added pages like 'watch some TV' or 'go to the arcade' in [[Visiting the Zoo]]. [[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]
+
-
 
+
-
Since I don't know the secret of the secret island, I couldn't say if finding a phone booth or a wallet is that strange... but [[Visiting the Zoo]] should certainly remain a story about visiting the zoo, and not wander off topic to visit anyplace other than the zoo. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 14:24, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

The users who are editing the Secret Island are getting on my last nerve! They never seem to read their mail. I even posted a notice telling them to read their mail on a page they were editing, and they ignore it! I've given 68.216.187.39 user his last warning...[[User:Fruitbat|Fruitbat]]

If any of you can't stand Utobi, go to Wikipedia and add a list of critisms about the story.

Huh?  We aren't objecting to the story.  We are asking you, repeatedly, to please stop filling up the Recent Changes page by doing you edit-save-edit-save-edit routine.  Use the Preview button and consider what you want the page to contain before saving it.  Or better still, create an identity for yourself.  As a logged-in user, you'll have the option of marking changes as minor, so they can be hidden on the Recent Changes pages. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 14:46, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

== A Trump Idea ==

-
 
+
-
Well I'm bored nowadays and I was wondering if I could make a trump game choose stat thing. I'm gonna make it small with 10 cards and each card only having 4 stats but I thought it would be kinda cool. If I do bother it would probably be Final Fantasy games from 1 - 10 including no FF and year and characters and something else. What do you guys think about this idea? [[User:I Lion Heart I|I Lion Heart I]]

I really don't know what a trump game choose stat thing is, but if you can do it as a Choose Your Own adventure, go right ahead with it.  Otherwise, this might not be the appropriate site for it. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 17:31, 15 May 2007 (EDT)

==SSR page-jump==
+
-
Since ssr (Smutty Sex Romp) is such a HUGE story, I think it might be cool to have a section on it's main page where you can select certain areas in the "story" to go to. There are certain areas that are near impossible to go to once you have to start over, so this could be an optional thing for people who want to find somewhere quickly or start from a certain place. --[[User:Kazemawari]]
+
-
 
+
-
There are several options for finding specific areas.  On the status bar, there's a spot for Location.  Click on the location and you'll go to a brief description of it.  From this description page, click on the category, which is Smutty Sex Romp Locations.  This will take you to the index of all locations in the story.  Click on any of them to get the description, and from that page, click on the left where it says 'what links here'.  That will give you a list of pages in that location.
+
-
 
+
-
This is why it's important to include the status bar on any page you create. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 20:55, 16 September 2007 (EDT)

I think it's a good idea with some games like world's end though, where there are no list of locations. I added one. Good idea. --[[User:Ashogo|Ashogo]]

And I can't be here 24/7, what state should I leave unfinished pages in?  I tried reading the rules, but now I can't find them anymore.  I'd ''really'' like to not get banned.  And for for those unfinished stories I add to (that aren't mine), is there a safe "time limit" I ought to adhere to?  For instance, if authors come back from vacation/work/life/whatever and have been absent for three months, find I've added to their story in a way they don't like, I'll back off from their story (they have every right to take their stories wherever they see fit, within the rules, anyway).  But should I stay away from any in particular?
+
-
 
+
-
I guess the safest bet would be just to start my own stories up, which I plan to do . . .
+
-
 
+
-
Don't worry too much.  I'm the only active member with the power to ban people, and I only ban people for vandalism.  I do appreciate it if you finish an individual page once you've started it.  That is, it should include options so other writers can carry the story onward if you don't (unless the page is an ending), and should include the status bar/category from the previous page, as appropriate.  You can always edit the page's contents later if you feel it needs more work.

The only story I would advise against adding to at this time is Paladin, since it has a rather complex structure and  [[User: I Lion Heart I]] has been putting a lot into it recently. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 18:51, 26 March 2008 (EST)

== Can't create an adventure ==

+

For some reason when I try to create an adventure via the create a wiki link, I can't seem to do it. It always tells me there is no wiki by that name and asks me to create one. But when I do, the same thing happens. Any help with this?
+
-
 
+
-
You don't click the creat a wiki link to creat your adventure, you click to edit the section you wish, like kids stories, normal stories and that kind of stuff.  Then once you edit it you can copy a story link there, and paste it were it goes.  Then you change the name of that to your story.  After that you click on hit to edit it.

Making your own template can be a bit tricky and does take some practice.  To start, you might want to go to [[http://editthis.info/choose_Your_Own_Adventure/Category:Templates]] and take a look at the coding that's gone into existing templates. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 15:40, 2 September 2008 (PDT)

== Deleteting some adventures. ==
+
-

There is alot of adventures which contains only like one or two pages or is simply work in progress, i think that we should consider deleting some of them to make it easier for all of us too find the adventure we are looking for. That is at least what i think.

I've considered doing that, but every now and then someone comes along and takes a story that's been sitting around going nowhere and turns it into something.  That [[Harry Potter]] adventurer, for example, had only a few pages for the longest time and then people began adding to it.  [[Rampage]] had about five barely readable pages until I re-wrote it in proper English and since then many others have added to it.
+
-
 
+
-
On the other hand, some of those one- or two-page stories are truly awful and it's hard to imagine anyone ever adding to them. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 12:43, 25 October 2008 (PDT)

ya sounds good but even if some arnt being worked on we should still keep a few of the good ideas. For example i have strarted working on Zombie blood last week when it only hade 1 page on it.[[User:Power8|Power8]]
+
-
 
+
-
I think what I'll do is create a Pit of Abandoned Stories page.  Any story of less than ten pages which hasn't been touched in over a month gets dropped off the Main Page and into the Pit.  Anyone who gets inspired by an abandoned story may freely remove it from the Pit and add to it. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 10:50, 28 October 2008 (PDT)

== Maybe an Idea? ==
+
-
 
+
-
I've been wanting to make a more formal one like these for a while, I've made http://writtenadventures.com in attempt to do so, but you can't add to someone else's adventures.  I'm not sure if people more like to add to others' stories, or write their own from start to finish.

-
 
+
-
'''Note:''' If this is considered spam in anyway please delete it immediately, I don't mean it to be at all, just Wiki seems to be a little complicated.
+
-
 
+

From what I've seen, some people here hate having their stories touched by other people, and some people love to add to stories in progress or start stories that they hope others will add to.  We get all types here. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 16:18, 27 November 2008 (PST)

From the first post of this discussion: ''"This is a great idea, but the problem is that the story lacks focus. Everyone is just adding to it in crazy directions with some adult content thrown in. Although I guess its funny, it will never be a story."''
+
-
 
+
-
That's the reason I made it non-editable by everyone, but yeah, I see how some like to see what others would add to their story, I would in some cases. I was thinking about have 1 master adventure editable by everyone, make one long one and not as many short ones, but I'm not sure that's the best idea because some people have different tastes & styles.

== Sort Order ==
+
-
 
+
-
Perhaps we should sort stories by number of pages rather than alphabetical. It will make it easier for new users to find good stories.
+
-
 
+
-
But it would make it impossible for new users to find their own newer stories.  And the alphabet never changes, while the number of pages in stories does.  The list would keep getting re-ordered and dis-ordered. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 14:33, 17 February 2009 (PST)
