From Create Your Own Story

Current revision as of 07:35, 29 June 2016

I try to pay as much attention as possible to make sure I've added a category and options to my pages before I hit save, but sometimes my brain skips a step. I do know it needs to be on every page, and I've seen people get banned for leaving it out too many times, so just let me know if I left one out somewhere and I'll fix it when I see your message.

I probably finished adding the options and my brain just went "guess I'm done" and I hit save. I usually catch myself immediately when this happens, but I did run across a page where I didn't catch it. So, yeah. Just let me know.

Platypus

Every story should have a category page. Don't hesitate to make one.--Platypus 13:26, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Leaving is at 63 pages, which is well beyond the length needed to keep a story out of the Pit. But even if a story does go into the Pit, it can always be moved back out. The Pit isn't an inescapable black hole. --Platypus 17:46, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Really, you don't need to worry about the Pit so much. When I move a story that's over 10 pages into the Pit, it's because story-content-wise, there isn't much there. Or what's there is such an incoherent mess, it isn't worth keeping anywhere else. --Platypus 11:40, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

It's okay. We all need to vent sometimes because there are some frustrating aspects to the site. Unfortunately, those aspects are under RobKohr's control, not mine. I stopped bothering with inserted pictures a long time ago. Back in the earlier days, we were able to upload pics directly to the site and link them internally. But then the site's capacity for storing images got used up and spambots invaded, so the 20-minute buffer had to be instituted. I wouldn't be able to do anything like what I did in Visiting the Zoo anymore. --Platypus 22:41, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Teejay

If you like my contribution to Leaving, I'll gladly add more pages. Feel free to edit anything I post in the story. -- Teejay

Whoops, forgot to check with you. I had a sudden inspiration from the Muse, which doesn't happen often. I'll try to remember to check before adding in the future. -- Teejay

I've kind of diverted my attention elsewhere, but I'll check back on Leaving sometime soon. I like your idea. -- -- Teejay

Dirty Me

So, noticed your rant. I agree, that is why all my stories have sub groups. The only stories without the / are the first page, like, The Exhibitionist or Dirty Me.

Speaking of The Exhibitionist, I know it is not your normal story, but I wonder if you would be willing to contribute your idea. It doesn't take much. Just read over the main page, then write an option. I will create the story from your option, and you can even put in special requirements. I will modify the option itself as needed. Pretty please? I even credit the person who gave me the option ^.^ More options I get, the more credit you get in your category page. --Dirty Me 10:00, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

It was correct to add directly, although it is an odd choice. Not sure if it will work out for the character or not xD --Dirty Me 01:18, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

lol, oh, I will write about it. Not sure how I will make it happen though, guess you will need to keep an eye out.

But, you can also read a little about my real life in the talk: Talk:The Exhibitionist

It goes over a bit of what I have really done, and the purpose of this story. --Dirty Me 05:57, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I finished The Exhibitionist/Go through a parking lot, removing one article of clothing for every white pickup you see and tossing it in the back of the truck, then once naked retrace your steps and redress in whichever clothes didn't drive away. Let me know what you think ^.^ --Dirty Me 06:11, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

So what do you think of DirtyMeStoryTime Rants?

I also put my sexual bio up. My real life one. User:DirtyMeStoryTime/IRL sex experiences --Dirty Me 09:23, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

lol, what can I say, I am in...one of those moods today...but sadly, not in the mood to write really xD

So just leaving random comments in the summaries xD --Dirty Me 06:22, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

You know I have set up my own public use fantasy, right? dirtylittlemestories.blogspot.com/p/public-use.html This is a real experience, not a fantasy story. --Dirty Me 07:57, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

I have seen the anime style pics you are talking about=P Told you I am strange xD btw, if you have questions about Taiwan, China, or Japan, for your new story, let me know. I live in Taiwan, know alot about China, and have friends in Japan. But, my Japanese friends are from my old job, before I became a mom, so, I would need to be careful what I ask them. For Taiwan and China, I know more about things, and can answer adult questions if you need also. --Dirty Me 08:19, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

lol, why not write your own hole in the wall story.

I actually was thinking of how one would.

"We are live here on the scene. This girl is somehow trapped in a whole in the wall. All efforts to remove her have failed, and right now she is being assisted by others for basic necessities."

"So, miss, can you explain how you ended up here?"

(Give some reason from the girls point of view.

From there, you could make it fun, funny, strange, or, well, this is this site after all, so you could make it adult.

Suddenly her eyes go wide and an annoyed expression comes over her face.

"What's wrong miss?" The reporter asks.

With a grunt, the girl explains. "Someone just pulled off my panties and stuck his...well, you know, in my...well, you know..."

The reporter looks at the girl shocked. "Are you fucking serious?" Looking against, she faces the camera. "Sorry about that slip folks."

She tells the camera man to follow her, and they leave the helpless girl, going outside the building to the other side of the hole, where they find a man pleasuring himself in this helpless girl.

"Get it on camera. Not live, you idiot, I mean just record."

The reporter and the camera man run up to the guy, the camera man filming the guy, making sure he gets his face, and what he is doing to the poor girl.

"Sir, what are you doing!" The guy, seeing the camera, the people running towards him, and the microphone pointed at him, quickly runs off, trying to do up his pants while he does. The reporter and camera man try to run after him, but quickly lose him. The camera man stops recording while the reporter pulls out her phone and dials the police while trying to clean up the helpless girl and put her panties back on.

The police arrive, and they hand over the footage, hoping it will help them identify her attacker.

Once everything is done, the camera man and reporter go back around to talk to the girl. "I stopped him, and we turned the information over to the police," She tells the trapped girl.

"Thanks," the girl says with a nod, a tear, and a grateful look on her face. "But, this isn't the first time," she tells the reporter. When asked for more, she starts telling the reporter about the experiences she has had being stuck in this wall.

Insert options, like how does she go to the restroom? How does she eat? How are her clothes changed? How is she entertained? What happens if no one helps her?

See, an opening that will grab the average CYoS readers attention, then some "life as someone stuck in a hole in the wall" story. Humanity at its best, like selflessly trying to help the girl even though they do not know her, can be written. Humanity at its worst, like the intro part of the story, or others taking advantage of this girl who cannot stop them, and cannot even tell who they are.

Anyways, you get the idea. If it is your fetish, write a story about it. Like my The Exhibitionist. It is one of my specific kinks. So, I wrote a story, so those who do like the same kind of thing can read it, and so I can enjoy my own writing.

Anyways, just a thought for you. --Dirty Me 02:36, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, just remember, I consider my stories usable by anyone as long as they give me the proper credit, so you can use the ideas or materials in dirtylittlemestories.blogspot.com/p/public-use.html if you want. I have incorporated many of my blog posts into my Dirty Me story. That one was posted on this story thread: Dirty Me/After the nap, discuss an idea you have

You can actually do more complex things. Sadly, I still can't get it to work correctly, but I did the pipboy at the bottom of F/Go along the walkway. Just need to learn how to use HTML better and you can add lots of interesting stuff.

Sadly, it probably would have been easier for you if I ever finish Lets make a webpage --Dirty Me 02:08, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Pac Man!

Talk in bubbles?

Hmm...

Here is the problem: css before/after. I cannot figure out how to use them properly, so I cannot do some of the shapes from css-tricks.com/examples/ShapesOfCSS/. If I could figure out how to take css before::after, then I could get things like the ying yang on there, instead of:

See, no yin yang like on that site...

Anyways, if you can figure out how to use HTML styles, you can get things like my too graphic button link, or the pip boy. --Dirty Me 02:33, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

DO NOT PRESS

Sadly, I can only get the clickables as the center text, not the entire image... --Dirty Me 03:19, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Trust me, it is not easy. See, here is the nutritional facts for semen (Although I admit, the bottom I didn't recalculate the numbers from the example I used, so only the top ones are correct):

But, it doesn't look like: codepen.io/chriscoyier/pen/egHEK

See, you need to play around with it until you get it to at least the level you want. I personally cannot figure out how to fix...so many things are messed up... --Dirty Me 04:58, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Also, keep in mind you can have things like hover text. It won't really work for you on tablet, but me on computer, when I mouse over a <p title="something">Anything</p> and hold my mouse over the "Anything", you will get the little help text that will show "something".

Anything

It works good for things like hidden text in articles that can still be viewed.

Also, remember, you can make notes in the edit page by including something like: <!-- Comment -->

I have left a hidden comment you will not see here unless you click edit and read to give you an example.

It will even work with internal wiki links, because when it hits the front arrow, it stops reading it and skips to the back arrow (second comment below when you enter edit to read).

Sadly, now I do not know how to get my text to go below the nutritional facts example... not without hitting enter alot...so keep in mind things like that. --Dirty Me 05:33, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Actually, I mentioned the comments for you for your use, not for other's use.

So, for example, you have lots of great ideas, but still need to put them in. And, you don't want spoilers. So, you just comment out your ideas. Then, when you edit it, you can see "Oh yeah, I wanted this", and have your own reminder.

It is not a good element to use for the readers, only for your personal notes. --Dirty Me 06:41, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Bunny! --Dirty Me 07:23, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Anyways, a flower for you, and then I will stop. Sorry, been having fun with these xD

I left a penis for Zenclair, because the stuff he is writing is, well, it sort of gets to me. Bugs me, with the pure level of hate he seems to have towards women, and how much he seems to be just turning them into nothing but complete and total sex objects. Of course, I didn't want to say that, so just left him the penis to hint that I was calling him a dick...

And yeah, I actually expect Platypus to ban the family guy guy. I find his writing even worse than Zenclair's. At least I can sort of get into some of the scenarios Zenclair has. The family guy person bugs me more. I was nice and fixed the category for him, but he doesn't seem to bother trying to follow the rules, so it is only a matter of time. But seriously, first, a baby with a 10" penis? And, writing about doing that to a baby? Does he even realize that a baby does not have mature sperm? So they cannot get anyone pregnant? They have semen, but their sperm is undeveloped until they hit puberty...

Anyways, enough ranting about him. I think I will leave his posts for Platypus. They are painful to even read, even when he isn't writing something I personally find rather...stupid...

Now you know why I am careful about holding my tongue on user pages xD --Dirty Me 05:06, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

I am wondering if he actually wanted to do something more like link|title, since it seems like he wanted to get the extra text in there without it being part of the link. Not sure. But thanks for mentioning to him. Sadly, I have tried and failed to get that to work. I guess because I tried <div> instead of <font>. --Dirty Me 08:32, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Hmm, guess I was wrong. Elsewhere was linked xD --Dirty Me 09:00, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

I like your Janet path so far, although not sure about the burglars just saying "Well, he looks like a girl, so eh, we will just rape him like a girl". I have a good friend who is a male who feels he is a female, so I guess the male to female transgender? I have talked to him, her I guess?, alot, and tried to help her, teach her how to do makeup, etc. But, from my understanding, she isn't treated this way. When people who thought she was a real girl find out she has...other parts, they tend to start acting very differently.

Anyways, I am hoping you do the other path in Leaving/Janet/Wait/Cafe, because I want to see how the cafe person handles this sudden switch. --Dirty Me 01:52, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Oh, I always call my friend "she", at least when I am around her. Honestly, I don't completely understand, but...I accept. Guess it is hard for me to really get because I have never felt I am a guy or something. So guess it is more trying to empathize with her than sympathize.

But, you say your fantasy. Does that mean you are transgender yourself? I know, a bit personal for this website. You don't need to answer.

Anyways, I guess I read that more because, to be honest, the beginning of the other girl sort of got to me. Not that you wrote anything wrong. Just my own personal issues, since I was suicidal when I was young. I can't really get past the beginning... PTSD maybe? idk --Dirty Me 06:29, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, we have old laptops that really don't do anything, but they have lots of problems, which is why we do not use them...

Have you ever thought about getting the blue tooth keyboard? I have used one on a tablet before. They are okay. Or one of those things that let you plug one in to your tablet? The cord that plugs in to your usb, but has a usb in instead of out. Those are cheap. Sorry, I can't think of the name...nvm, found it. An OTG cable. I have heard those work.

For your "User page story", actually, many of the paths in Dirty Me are my real experiences. Or how I imagine it could have turned out. The opening, while the dream is not real (I can't remember my dreams), honestly, I did see two guys at a glory hole, which made me more curious than grossed out. One reason I really tried it. My Glory hole path is real. So is my public use path. It was something I set up, sort of a fantasy to life thing. Not sure if I included my prostitution stories in there though. I tried it for 1 night. Got beat pretty bad the last one, which is why I didn't do it again...

Although some paths are just fantasies, or just made for whomever reads them. Probably why they are not as good.

As for your "Read the rules and tutorial" thing, I admit, even I did not do it right at first. Look at the original Dirty Me history. I copied it from another story.

Anyways, I recommend the blue tooth thing or the real keyboard. It should be fairly cheap. --Dirty Me 08:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

lol, actually, I made the rules page because there was a note to "follow the rules", but there was no rules page xD --Dirty Me 06:00, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

I like how you did the chat thing on the new page. Made me start wonder. I wonder how difficult it would be to create a story through nothing but phone chat. Like, you get a random wrong message, then start talking to the person. Endings are when either one side stops wanting to chat, or when something in real life happens. Seems interesting xD --Dirty Me 05:19, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Can you tell me what tablet you have? I can have my husband check and find out for you. You can also look this up: www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-use-bluetooth-on-your-android-tablet.html It may help.

As for the chat type story, I am getting some ideas, but sadly, the experience I have had is actually sort of bad. More internet messages than chat clients, since I live abroad, and those are horrid.

For example, here is someone trying to talk dirty to me:

il tel u u suck me mcuh bettr than my wife...u know ow to give a real pleasure..aaaaaaaaaaaaaah so sexy u r..ur worth this sexy life mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah babes..can i hold u tite n feel u as a special one..so rembr u for 1 month 20 days...realy i dnt know ur face..u too dnt gve me ur pic..but as in my fantasy ul always remian ..mwah ...mwaaaah abes u hve a lovely cunt..

Well, that was the worst, some actually didn't require me to speak...whatever he was speaking, but still... --Dirty Me 02:11, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Oh, and I am going to write my DirtyMeStoryTime Rants/Speeling dont mattar rant in IM style. But, I don't want to just copy yours, so seeing if I can find a good HTML layout for it. --Dirty Me 03:29, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Good idea. I will look for some chat bubble effect html. --Dirty Me 05:02, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I turned half your text on Leaving/James/Stay with someone/Geek girl into a template for you, so it is easier to use.

Sadly, I can only get it to work when we want it to the left.

I have not been able to get it to work to the right yet...

If you don't like, feel free to revert. I made sure it was a single change for easy reversion. --Dirty Me 07:41, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Eh, one thing I have found, you cannot force yourself to write. When you do, you end up with bad stories. I have done that enough myself, and don't like what I "force" out. As for the template, yeah, I tried to get it to work with the stuff on the right, but without being able to use a css sheet, and without being able to use javascript, it is really hard. I have to look around for a while for even something that sort of works. I saw some like what you are mentioning, but could not get them to work right... --Dirty Me 01:53, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

And for images, check my Too Graphic story. What I do is create the image link in a template. Then, if I need to edit the main page the image will be on, I don't need to worry about the 20 minute per submission. Make sure you get the template right before you submit, and don't preview, since that also triggers the 20 minute thing. So, just template it (And remember to check out how I do it in the template pages). That should allow you to get the image. But warning, I have not been able to figure out how to get the image to resize. Maybe once you select them and set up a template, you can play with the rest of your code on GA/Lucy/Friends and see if you can get it to fit correctly. You may need to play with it, and have lots of patience. I have also tried turning images into pure html, but they do not seem to work correctly... Anyways, check out the templates attached to the one pic per page of Too Graphic, maybe that will help. It is simply the address, and remember the <noInclude>[[Category:Blahblah]]</noInclude>. It just takes patience. --Dirty Me 02:03, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Sorry to hear about your money situation D: I know how it goes. We normally end the month with a couple hundred NT, if we do not have to borrow. Just divide that by 30 and you have about US dollars. So, NT$300 is about USD $10, if that tells you how tight we are... He just graduated from college about 2 years ago, so is in a starting position, and I am a stay at home mom, so... yeah. I mean, I guess if you want, I could try to work with you on something longer term. I have a couple stories I want to try to sell on Amazon, that I need edited, but that would not help in your short time frame, and as you can guess, I couldn't pay for it directly, just pay as I sell ebooks...if I sell any D: --Dirty Me 13:03, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Good to hear things are at least at a livable level for you now. --Dirty Me 03:26, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Honestly, I can't tell you, since my edits are more experimentation themselves. It is hard without being able to use CSS properly. I think you will just need to experiment until you find something that works. As for a template in a template, I do not see why it wouldn't work. Think I have used one before. Well, on the final page, put the template in the middle of the template section, but yeah, I think you can. --Dirty Me 04:30, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

No worries, I get that way myself. Here is what I see from a computer. On GA/Lucy/Work/Leave, the chat itself has a scroll bar, and to see all the text you need to scroll. The options beside the send also have a scroll bar, but it fits the window so it doesn't scroll much, just to white space. The right side, no scroll bar or anything, but I assume you still need to put a picture in the bottom right. In the template, there are no scroll bars, but it isn't long enough to trigger one. You would need to test with large images. After testing your image section with my image from {{Too Graphic Templates/Housewife}}, I found that it will stretch the box. The left box, with the options, will stay the same, well, the white part. The red part however will stretch to match the size of the right side. If you want, I can save so you can see. But no scroll bar appears on the right side, when the image is rather large. --Dirty Me 08:46, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

I think your phone chat came out looking pretty good ^.^ --Dirty Me 06:24, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

By the way, I waaaaay stole your stuff :o Texting. Just a test page for now. I still need to think of the story itself, and how to keep the reader interested. I also changed a couple things to a smiley emoji. You can check the edit, and the follow up template, to see how I was able to. Note though, you need to be careful with those, since I have never figured out how to resize images. That means, you need to link to the right size in the first place. --Dirty Me 08:56, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

wow, you actually made a way to change the left or right side? I didn't think that would be possible with the limits on this site. That is great ^.^ Now, someone can make lots of text bubbles in different colors and they can just be reused. I am trying to make a whole emoji system for Texting. You saw the smiley face. It will take time to build though with the 20 min rule. --Dirty Me 02:25, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

lol, I just realized, you can also customize the color of the box and the color of the text. So, guess no one needs to create more templates. That is so great! See, I show you a few things, and you go even beyond my meager ability! --Dirty Me 03:47, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

I am thinking I might even add additional "apps" to texting. I did a calander test, and it looked pretty good. It is in wiki table format. If you want to find a way to quickly make wiki tables, I used this site: www.tablesgenerator.com/mediawiki_tables However, formatting still needs to be done by hand. --Dirty Me 06:52, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

lol, look at some of the stuff I have posted, just to figure out how to send you a picture of a flower. Or how to make a pure table smiley. I play around with it because it is fun. Nothing about being proud or not. I write on here because I need to keep practicing both my writing and my English, since I have found even now I have a bit of a Chinese accent and tend to write Chinglish sometimes. And sadly, my Chinese is not very good, so getting worse at English + not getting better at Chinese is rather difficult for communication. Anyways, nothing to do with pride or anything. Just something interesting to make this site more than white background with lots of black text. Sort of modernize it a little. But then again, I also put Dirty Me on chyoa.com because one thing I do like, they have hearts, easier comment areas, and like/dislike. Plus, the pathing is done for you automatically. But, they also do not really have a whole "everything" to play with like here. So, it is more like "Hey, cool, I figured out how to make this work!". Eh, did I mention before that I am also a nerd girl? I like games, romantic walks through post-nuclear war torn countries (Fallout), randomly shooting a raider in the head (again fallout), and annihilating entire civilizations (civilization/endless space). From time to time I like to zap around portals, figuring out puzzles (Portal), and with cheat mode, even farcry is okay for me (Not so much without cheats...I suck at those). I have my own private server for wow, for ffxi, for tera. Thank god for GM powers though. And I am really looking forward to No Man's Sky, so I can name all the stuff for Womankind in Mankind's world! I enjoy poking around C++, HTML, Javascript, PHP, LUA. Although I suck at it, I still like playing with it. Anyways, no reason to worry about "Hey I am so proud of this", as long as you are learning, growing, and enjoying. At least you contribute to entertainment, rather than demand everyone else entertain you. --Dirty Me 07:35, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Smiley!

Skyla

I did know that you could change the colours of the text, but I will admit that it didn't cross my mind to apply that when developing this easter egg. Well, either way it hardly matters. It can stay poorly hidden (hell, I added the page to my story categories anyways), since it's really just a page for fun, as well as for my own guidance. Thanks for the advice, though! ^^ --Skyla 10:57, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
