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

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.

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)

From MFCmaster123 Thanks for your help with my Bold font problem. Writ this day 17 March, 2014 --- To mods:

Sorry, I made a n00b mistake in my first couple linking pages. Please delete the "I'm just a boy" page. I am also not sure if I moved the page "I'm just a girl" correctly. Please feel free to fix or let me know how to fix if I did not. All fixed, thanks Platypus ^.^ --Dirty Me 13:10, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

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



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)

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

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 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

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)
