I have already undone it, but did you seriously think selecting every single bit of text on a page, then suddenly seeing nothing BUT your story was the proper way to go? I know people can get intimidated trying new things, but don't just forget all common sense at the same time...

I noticed that you seem to do a lot of changing what other authors have written, instead of writing new material yourself. That's kind of disrespectful, in fact I would even call it vandalism, and you've done it to multiple authors. We shouldn't be erasing or changing what other authors write, if you want to contribute then write new chapters of your own, don't go changing the ones that other authors have spent a lot of time and effort writing. Thanks, buddy.

What exactly is [[My Little Pony: Choose Your Own Adventure]] supposed to be?  If it's supposed to be a story, it needs choices and it needs a category.  Please don't post incomplete pages.  Incomplete pages will be edited or deleted. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 04:09, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Why are those choices in Darkness?  Because the story is open for anyone to edit and some people are desperate to read stories about copping a feel, no matter how story-inappropriate that choice is, and some people freak when they realize they've been reading a story from a female perspective and have to force the story into a male perspective, no matter how inappropriate it is given the story thus far. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 03:05, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Dungeon and dragons

One thing you may want to consider is that choices don’t necessarily have to seem logical. Consider that following scenario: Your son hasn’t come home from school and you’re worried about him. Do you: A) call the police? B) hire a private detective? C) search the neighborhood? D) get a rowboat and sail out to sea?  A, B, & C are obvious choices, but the ridiculously illogical choice D… is what Gepetto chose in the Adventures of Pinocchio. And somehow that worked out. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 15:30, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello Fredhot16.

I noticed that you was one of last writers in "Dungeon and dragons" and I wonder if I can copy it and publish on chyoa.com? I would add in the description it isn't writed by me, to not plagiation your work. I don't know if you are the right person to ask, but this site looks unclean for me.

<nowiki>[[ Ventrue|Ventrue]]</nowiki> tells the wiki "Instead of displaying the link to the page titled 'Ventrue' as 'Ventrue', instead display it as 'Ventrue'."  Kind of redundant, no?  The | is useful when you want the link to display as something ''different''.  For example <nowiki>[[Ventrue|Aristocrats]]</nowiki> would send people to a page titled 'Ventrue', but the link would display as 'Aristocrats'.

Aren't you going to revise the story anymore?

FYI: Its intended to be an Adult story with multiple branching off points with the common theme of all focusing on story and character development. At this point however, my ideas and goals for it are somewhat hazy. Having one or more people who are actively contributing to the overarching narrative and premise would be very helpful. --Durzan 21:28, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Well, this stuff is a bit hard for me to explain, so I'll just describe it as best as I can:
-
If you want to contribute to Darkness by adding more pages, fine.  If you want to rip out pages because you don't like certain choices, NOT FINE.  Leave those pages alone.  I wrote them and they are staying.  PERIOD. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 18:42, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

'''Overview:'''

I know you know how to categorize your pages.  Categorize them!--[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 13:35, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
+
'''Genre:''' Fantasy
-
Categorizing is not something to be saved for 'later'. Either the page is categorized when it's posted or the page gets deleted. It's that simple.
+
'''Base Concept:''' Tales of Illnora isn't so much a single story, as it is a collection of stories that take place over a number of different time periods on a single world (hence why I called it Tales of Illnora, and why I called it a mega-story). Basically, the idea is that each story (or group of stories), is its own general narrative and that they are linked by the setting and the specific time period. Each story will have some RPG elements (Classes, choice of race, etc), and will have some degree of sandboxing to it. If the stories are in the same time period, then they could interact and overlap with one another (difficult to setup but possible).
-
If you've read a significant amount of Darkness, and it seems that you have, then you should have some understanding of what kind of story it is.  If you don't understand it, I don't think that I can explain it any further. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 18:27, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

'''Concept of the Dragon Master story:''' In the Dragon Master storyline, Dragons who visit the human realm are hunted down, captured, and enslaved by both licensed humans (''Dragon Catchers''), by government enforcers (Dragon Masters), and by poachers. At the beginning you are given a choice of gender and race, which... depending on your choice will split you onto one of two main story branches.

If you are human, you are given the choice between being hired to work as a ''Dragon Poacher'' (i.e. you become a criminal), or being hired as an aide to a professional ''Dragon Master'' (think of them as being like special agents of the FBI who are tasked with handling all issues dealing with a specific kind of situation; in this case its anything to do with Dragons and Exotic creatures) with the goal of becoming one yourself.

Just to let you know, I alphabetized your stories in the mature section, so if you don't spot them, please note they are in a different location, not removed. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 18:37, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

If you become a poacher, you try to capture and sell as many dragons as you can while evading the law for as long as possible.

If you choose the path of becoming a Dragon Master however, you are given various tasks that involve dragons in one form or another, and are tasked with gaining ownership/protective custody of as many dragons as you can in your free time, and then training and/or developing a relationship with them.

So, it has been a while since we last talked. I just wanted to stop in and say hi, and let you know I am looking for people to help me expand my story, [[The Exhibitionist]]. Just drop a couple options you would like me to write or something. A couple others have already been sweet and given me some options, but the more, the merrier! But, you don't need to, it is entirely optional (gogogogogogogogogo addadddadddaddadd) '''Thinks to herself, "are my subliminals working?''' Wait, did I say that outloud?

Regardless of which path the player chooses, they may choose to treat their dragon slaves with kindness or with cruelty, but doing so will have consequences. Ultimately the main purpose of this branch is to focus on the relationships between you and your dragons, and explore how it affects you. Possible endings would include: setting your dragons free, keeping them, dying in various mishaps or getting eaten by one, getting arrested, and so forth.
-
lol, but it is an adult story. Yes, I know what you mean, I don't bother reading most of the stories. I do write stories other than adults, but I am not that good, to be honest. I draw on my experience to write my stories, and many of my past history consisted of 3 things: Drugs, sex, and physical/emotional pain. I have tried writing about my pain, but honestly, when I read it, it makes me feel like I come across as whiny. I have written sometimes about drugs, but honestly, it is hard to describe what it feels like to be high. So, that leaves me with sex...I would love to write fantasy, sci fi, mystery, crime, etc, but every time I try, at least when I read, it always sounds so cliche. I think maybe the only difference is, I write my erotica based on my real life, so I try to make it realistic. Sometimes I get carried away, but normally I try to make it believable. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 13:33, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
+
If you are a Dragon, then the storyline is a bit more linear in nature. You go into the human lands hoping to start a new and better life (The Dragon lands are in a state of perpetual famine), get captured by a Dragon Master (and possibly sold to another person), and are tasked with figuring out how to either escape and live in hiding in the Human Lands, befriending the Dragon Master and becoming his familar, or convincing him to let you go.
-
Adding a little more: Yes, I have also written a couple of non-adult stories. You can check my user page for the stories I have written, but you can probably guess after looking at them that I do not do as good... --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 13:35, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
+
'''Tone & Mood:''' Varies according to the time period and specific story, but in general, all stories should have parts that are serious and parts that are funny. Some should be more serious and more drama laden than others, but there is a time and a place for each in every story. In the Dragon Master, the tone is supposed to be at parts sober, and at other parts funny... and at other parts disgusting or horrifying (we are dealing with slavery after all).
-
Yes, yes, I talk too much. Even in real life. I have started a story, [[Context]], but unlike [[The Exhibitionist]], it is not a community driven story. For [[The Exhibitionist]]. I will only work on options given to me, and those ideas that spring from them during story mode. I do not create new paths. However, for [[Context]], I am trying something completely different, keyworks located in the story itself. I am still trying to figure out how to work it though. Mostly, I am aiming it at non-adult, but have categorized it as adult because I imagine at some point I will have some level of adult content, but thinking of making it more of a silly, strange, random, train of thought type of story. Anyways, I will STFU now...I know I talk too much, and type too much... I like interaction, not isolation... --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 13:45, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
+
'''Theme:''' Again, varies depending on the time period and the specific story being told. In the Dragon Master, the themes are about the relationships between humans and dragons.
-
Hello, so, you want stories that are adult but not really sex stories like 99%? Want to try my [[Short Bursts]] story? Let me know what you think? Yes, I will have graphic sex in there, and graphic other things. lol, you will probably be able to tell once you read the first two I have completed. Anyways, just want to know what you think, since it seems like you are not one who is here only for the graphic sex stories, but for actual stories. Anyways, I would like it if you let me know what you think about them. Yes, I am a needy, insecure person, so like to hear if my stuff is good. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 08:37, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
+
Well, thats basically the gist of what I can tell you at the moment.  
-
Hmm, where to start. I notice some of the things you have posted on Darky's talk page. Not saying I don't understand, or sympathize, but, are you sure this is really the correct way to go about it? I guess, he started the story, and while it seems that he should be able to do more than make it one of another, lots, of adult stories, are you sure criticizing him is really the way to go? It seems your view and his view are clashing, and I am not sure it is really that helpful at this point. Possibly you could make your own story that follows a vision you have? Not trying to get in the middle of it, but it just seems like many posts on his page are "Man, why would you even go there". I have the feeling he has changed the path, like the feather tickling, mostly because of your feedback, but... I guess, like me, I try to make non-adult stories. I try to make something that is not in the realm of "naughty", but I find most of the time when I try, I run out of story too quickly. I guess I am just better at erotica than I am at conventional stories. So, I sympathize with Darky too. But honestly, when the thing I see on the first page is "stunning girl with a nice butt and b-cup breasts", well, I think that was always his direction. I mean, what does her butt and breasts have to do with being a barbarian? She has a butt, she has breasts, but when there is a need to highlight them, I guess there was already a set direction in the author's eyes. Is it really that constructive to keep bugging him about "Man, why go there"? The only way it could have screamed more adult is if there was also the guy's penis size. I guess I am saying it seems like you would have a better story by writing your own. Maybe "Sherry becomes a barbarian girl", and run with it. Sorry, I know you are free to keep messaging him, but it just seems like it is only nagging about another author not meeting your expectations at this point. Just my opinion though. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 01:34, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
+
I am hoping to work on the Dragon Master and get the basis for that storyline fleshed out before we start on other time periods and/or stories. Also, keep in mind that this is to be a public story, so each story and option should have a somewhat sandbox nature to it.
-
Sigh, and yet another story with "DD cup breasts, and a round and firm ass"... I swear, as I said above, I sympathize with you...every time I see something like this it makes me want to scream... Why do all women need to be unrealistically proportioned in like 90% of all the stories here, and why do they all need to have DD breasts unless someone is trying to create some under age style story? Seriously...it is frustrating... --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 02:51, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
+
If you need any more information about the world or the lore of Illnora, don't hesitate to ask. I already put some basic information in the story, but not all of it is fleshed out yet... at least on CYOS anyway.

No worries, I have not ignored your messages. Just, I suffer writers block frequently. Guess I get busy with other things and cannot really focus on writing. So, not ignoring, just not contributing anything right now because I am not sure what to contribute. That has always been one of my problems with writing, I start off okay, then end up losing my path completely for a while. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 01:26, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Honestly, blank or pre made are fine, depending on how it is done. I normally try to fill in details like with dreams, memories, etc. [[Dirty Me]] originally started mostly from my blog material, with some side options to make it a CYoS. Sometimes, I did better, when I used my own experience to write, other times, I did worse, especially when I was just trying to make an option to have an option, and when I was not really in a writing mood. "Okay, lets just put in some sex stuff for the readers to make them happy, and go work on something else". Those are probably the worst paths. [[Too Graphic]] is a WIP, majorly. I need to actually put story in. Doing it more because on my blog people told me they liked pictures. So, figured, let me figure out my path, and put some pictures in, then tell a story based on those. But, it is very sexual. Again, the issue I have with being able to write based on my own experiences, without sounding like a whiny bitch. If you want to get what I mean by that, try reading this path on [[Dirty Me]]: [[Dirty Me/Go ahead and accept the party invitation]] -> [[Dirty Me/Sure, one beer can't hurt]] -> [[Dirty Me/Go home and try to forget this]] -> [[Dirty Me/Pretend like you have no idea what happened and that you would love to party with him]]. I wanted to put how I felt, but, not sure how most of the readers here will react. I assume though I am right: whiny bitch. Especially when you think about what you said some people post on here. Raping a girl and she magically likes it after. Like, I started reading this, [[The Sexual Adventures of You]], the female path, and it was okay, until the rapist. I mean, I shook my head at the "good girl randomly has sex with the army dude", or has sex with her brother, or neighbor, or whatever. But, I read, until the rapist, and turning him into a sex slave. Yeah, just sort of threw up my hands and said okay, that is too much...get a female writer, or at least try, '''try''', to imagine what a "good girl" would do. I mean, if you want to put that stuff, then make her the bad girl...
+
Okay, just made the two pages. --[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 18:58, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

One thing I actually love about reading [[User:Teejay]]'s stuff. He makes the characters human. Not that I read all his stuff, he tried to follow the story line, but some that have good options he can write about. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 14:47, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

--[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 03:36, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Hmm, think you might be confused. I said on the good girl path, when the guy tries to rape the character, and he ends up in on the other end of his knife, the only option seems to be to turn him into a sex slave. I sort of liked the cut off his clothes and leave him there, but the author doesn't seem to be willing to let that happen, and keeps pushing towards keeping him as a sex slave. As for rape, did you read my path that I posted last time? That is exactly what it covers. I have been raped twice in real life, so I write from experience.

Well, which branch do you think we should focus on?

Hey Fredhot16, I noticed that you worked on [[Slaves Life]] a couple of times previously. Recently I adopted that story and started a reimagined version of it on CHYOA (renamed to Life of a Slave), which currently gets a lot more viewers than this site and has a few additional flexibilities when it comes to interactive fiction. Especially since this site tends to be a bit unstable.

+
P.S. Its called that because I think it sounds a tad better than "Slaves Life" IMHO. If you want an in story reason, well... guess we'll just have to write and find out :D. My initial thought is that the main character is intimately involved with the life of his newly purchased slave, and thus he's witnessing first hand what its like to be a slave, even as he trains, sleeps with, and controls her. I kinda see this story as a bit of a romance. Gives the story added depth behind it, which is always a plus for any kind of story, erotic or otherwise.

As for CYOA style, I think that may be a bit why I disappeared. I think I just write better linearly. As for the choice aspect, I guess it depends on the viewpoint. If you are writing a character viewpoint, then yes, it should be more about their reactions to the events that happen around them. However, there is the other, where the viewer is more of a "god" type of thing, like a civilization game or whatever. Rather than figuring out how the character reacts to stimulus, you instead figure out what happens to the character. I guess it depends on what kind of story you are writing. However, yeah, I think a majority focuses on what the character does and how they react, rather than what happens to the character, which I would completely agree with your viewpoint. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 03:42, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Changing other authors' writing

I noticed that you seem to do a lot of changing what other authors have written, instead of writing new material yourself. That's kind of disrespectful, in fact I would even call it vandalism, and you've done it to multiple authors. We shouldn't be erasing or changing what other authors write, if you want to contribute then write new chapters of your own, don't go changing the ones that other authors have spent a lot of time and effort writing. Thanks, buddy.

Hello Fredhot16. I noticed that you was one of last writers in "Dungeon and dragons" and I wonder if I can copy it and publish on chyoa.com?

Help with Mega-story, looking for partnerships/contributions

Hey Fredhot16,

I was wondering if you would be up for helping me out with the Tales of Illnora mega-story that I started up.

FYI: Its intended to be an Adult story with multiple branching off points with the common theme of all focusing on story and character development. At this point however, my ideas and goals for it are somewhat hazy. Having one or more people who are actively contributing to the overarching narrative and premise would be very helpful. --Durzan 21:28, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Well, this stuff is a bit hard for me to explain, so I'll just describe it as best as I can:

Overview:

Genre: Fantasy

Base Concept: Tales of Illnora isn't so much a single story, as it is a collection of stories that take place over a number of different time periods on a single world (hence why I called it Tales of Illnora, and why I called it a mega-story). Basically, the idea is that each story (or group of stories), is its own general narrative and that they are linked by the setting and the specific time period. Each story will have some RPG elements (Classes, choice of race, etc), and will have some degree of sandboxing to it. If the stories are in the same time period, then they could interact and overlap with one another (difficult to setup but possible).

There are four time periods that I currently got planned (Only got 1 time-period link established, willing to cut them down or alter them) from which stories can branch out from:

The First Empire Era (era where Dragons ruled the world and are the only playable race).

The Great Cataclysm (Short period where the world is breaking due to Dragons messing with forces they can't understand).

the Golden Era (Humans rule the world, and dragons are shadows of their former selves).

the Silver Age (Dragons nearly extinct, but their bloodlines are strong enough that Dragonborn occasionally pop up throughout the lineage of the different humanoid races that are descended from Golden Age).

Of the four ages, I currently only have one age officially established (IE with blue links) and I have only started working on one story for it, with that story being ToI -- The Dragon Master.

Concept of the Dragon Master story: In the Dragon Master storyline, Dragons who visit the human realm are hunted down, captured, and enslaved by both licensed humans (Dragon Catchers), by government enforcers (Dragon Masters), and by poachers. At the beginning you are given a choice of gender and race, which... depending on your choice will split you onto one of two main story branches.

If you are human, you are given the choice between being hired to work as a Dragon Poacher (i.e. you become a criminal), or being hired as an aide to a professional Dragon Master (think of them as being like special agents of the FBI who are tasked with handling all issues dealing with a specific kind of situation; in this case its anything to do with Dragons and Exotic creatures) with the goal of becoming one yourself.

If you become a poacher, you try to capture and sell as many dragons as you can while evading the law for as long as possible.

If you choose the path of becoming a Dragon Master however, you are given various tasks that involve dragons in one form or another, and are tasked with gaining ownership/protective custody of as many dragons as you can in your free time, and then training and/or developing a relationship with them.

Regardless of which path the player chooses, they may choose to treat their dragon slaves with kindness or with cruelty, but doing so will have consequences. Ultimately the main purpose of this branch is to focus on the relationships between you and your dragons, and explore how it affects you. Possible endings would include: setting your dragons free, keeping them, dying in various mishaps or getting eaten by one, getting arrested, and so forth.

If you are a Dragon, then the storyline is a bit more linear in nature. You go into the human lands hoping to start a new and better life (The Dragon lands are in a state of perpetual famine), get captured by a Dragon Master (and possibly sold to another person), and are tasked with figuring out how to either escape and live in hiding in the Human Lands, befriending the Dragon Master and becoming his familar, or convincing him to let you go.

Tone & Mood: Varies according to the time period and specific story, but in general, all stories should have parts that are serious and parts that are funny. Some should be more serious and more drama laden than others, but there is a time and a place for each in every story. In the Dragon Master, the tone is supposed to be at parts sober, and at other parts funny... and at other parts disgusting or horrifying (we are dealing with slavery after all).

Theme: Again, varies depending on the time period and the specific story being told. In the Dragon Master, the themes are about the relationships between humans and dragons.

Well, thats basically the gist of what I can tell you at the moment.

I am hoping to work on the Dragon Master and get the basis for that storyline fleshed out before we start on other time periods and/or stories. Also, keep in mind that this is to be a public story, so each story and option should have a somewhat sandbox nature to it.

If you need any more information about the world or the lore of Illnora, don't hesitate to ask. I already put some basic information in the story, but not all of it is fleshed out yet... at least on CYOS anyway.

Sure, no problem. Were you thinking of one for the main page, or one for each story? --Durzan 17:03, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Okay, just made the two pages. --Durzan 18:58, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the resources, Fredhot! --Durzan 03:36, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Well, which branch do you think we should focus on? --Durzan 03:33, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Started a discussion on the dragon masters in Talk:Begin your training (TDM/MHW). --Durzan 13:49, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Slaves Life

Hey Fredhot16, I noticed that you worked on Slaves Life a couple of times previously. Recently I adopted that story and started a reimagined version of it on CHYOA (renamed to Life of a Slave), which currently gets a lot more viewers than this site and has a few additional flexibilities when it comes to interactive fiction. Especially since this site tends to be a bit unstable.

Anyway, I was wondering if you'd like to collab with me on CHYOA and help out with the story, particularly on adapting Willow's route. If you're interested, hit me up. --Durzan 15:18, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Sure, no problem. Here's the link (chyoa.com/story/Life-of-a-Slave.27660). Your gonna have to create an account and send me a message on there (same username over there for me), otherwise I can't add your username to the editor list.

I can easily relate to the bad work ethic, lol.

P.S. Its called that because I think it sounds a tad better than "Slaves Life" IMHO. If you want an in story reason, well... guess we'll just have to write and find out :D. My initial thought is that the main character is intimately involved with the life of his newly purchased slave, and thus he's witnessing first hand what its like to be a slave, even as he trains, sleeps with, and controls her. I kinda see this story as a bit of a romance. Gives the story added depth behind it, which is always a plus for any kind of story, erotic or otherwise. --Durzan 00:40, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Okay, got you added in as an editor. Plus, I sent you a direct message on CHYOA. --Durzan 21:36, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Main Page

I had to put protections against editing on the Main Page due to a persistent vandal. I may take the protections off again, as things seem to have calmed down. --Platypus 14:40, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

DirtyMeStoryTime

lol, yeah, been a while. I don't actually come here. Just, some of the stories around make me feel physically ill. I know, it isn't you, or Platy, or Tee. I ended up moving my writings to discord.

Yes, my bathroom door was fixed. That was the second time. Fortunately, it hasn't broken again. Glass bathroom door, so it shattered into lots of pieces those two times.

As for CYOA style, I think that may be a bit why I disappeared. I think I just write better linearly. As for the choice aspect, I guess it depends on the viewpoint. If you are writing a character viewpoint, then yes, it should be more about their reactions to the events that happen around them. However, there is the other, where the viewer is more of a "god" type of thing, like a civilization game or whatever. Rather than figuring out how the character reacts to stimulus, you instead figure out what happens to the character. I guess it depends on what kind of story you are writing. However, yeah, I think a majority focuses on what the character does and how they react, rather than what happens to the character, which I would completely agree with your viewpoint. --Dirty Me 03:42, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Sure. I don't stop in often, but do time to time. --Dirty Me 07:35, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
