This is hujeje. Thank you sooooo much. Sorry I got a bit frustrated there.
Hey platypus this is hujeje I just got your message (sorry for being unresponsive) about categories in my story Frozen Heart (adult) I think I fixed it. Also, in the main page where you scroll through stories, mine is off center and weird and no matter how hard I try I can't fix it. PLEASE HELP.
Thank you-hujeje
Ok thanks. I have started up a wiki on editthis.info but I am having trouble finding out where to set the permissions for my personalized account to Administrator. For example your account is called Platypus, how do I set Administrator permissions for my personalized account? Once again a random user
Hello Platypus, by the rules of this wiki I am not supposed to talk about what I want to on the wiki itself. Is theldre any safe way to talk without me getting banned? For instance, I could make a random gmail which we could talk. I would give you the email and password. That way you are not giving up any information. - a random user —8/25/14
Thanks for correcting my grammar error! I'm really sorry, usually I'm the one who's annoyed by incorrect grammar. I've even stopped reading a published book for two instances of incorrect comma use on the first page -_-; I'll be sure to double check my own writing in the future.
-Hotaruks
Hey, I got your message about category but frankly I couldn't find any edited page without category. Can you fix it for me please. I've read everything so it should be okay?
Hi there, I wanted to ask you something about the main page. Well... namely, about that some of the special sections, like, for instance, the review section (not just that, but... mostly that), look a little wonky.
It's not really a big deal, but I started editing the main page mindlessly before realizing I probably should have asked someone first. ^_^;; Anyway... you might notice that the main page's history had a change undone, and that was me. Since you seem to be the person to ask: what should I do, or not do? You might even have some good ideas for how it should look.
-Ultrabookworm
Okay, awesome, that's good to know. I'm still a noob at more advanced stuff as well, so if it's a problem with displaying differently universally I won't bother with it, especially since it's someone else's baby. I might discuss with my boyfriend about it since he has an internship webmastering and deals with that issue but topic's probably closed. Thanks for getting back with me! Maybe I'll look on other kinds of displays to see how it looks.

Hi, thanks for the story, "Rampage", I liked it very much! Whether it will complement and how soon? Sorry for my bad english.

Hello all, I just want to say thank you all for your contributions (especially Platypus), and I was wondering if I could bring your attention to The Humiliation of Katie, my story which currently only has a few people adding to it. As such I am looking to raise attention to it to get more writers involved (Warning 18+ material).
Akibahara here.
My humblest apologies for the improper use of grammar errors I've made. However, I'm still quite interested in contributing to the story as a whole. May we discuss the errors involved and see how I can possibly fix them? - Akibahara 10:01am 04th April, 2014.
Hello, I'm interested in contributing to Smutty Sex Romp (excellent fic, btw), however, it's quite vast. Do you believe it's possible to set up a network of experienced writers in order to complete largely unedited parts of the story? Akibahara 08:38pm 03rd April, 2014.
Hi, me again. The picture I have written you about earlier is out and posted. Okay if I post a link in the description of the story whic had inspired it? - Wassersaeufer 23:57 21st March 2014 (UTC)
Hello. First of all, I want to thank you for all the work you put in this page, making it more enjoyable for all of us. Second, I want to know something. Namely if it is okay, if an artist would post a link to this page, to be more precise to the story Hot and Horny. Thing is, I have paid the artist to paint a scene from the story and would ask him to include a link to the story in the description when he posts it on "Hentai Foundry". Would that be okay with you? - Wassersaeufer 12:19 19th March 2014 (UTC)
Hello, its me again. Thank you to Dirty Me for his help in solving my Bolded text issue. Anyway, I was wondering if I have to put a disclaimers note in my story Percy Jackson God Of All, and if it is okay to put some funny dialogue from an anonymous writer in there? For example see Percy Jackson God Of All: I want to be a Mortal Regards, MFCmaster123 writ this day 16 March 2014 --- Platypus, I am new in here and I have not fully figured out font editing.

The story The World's End is mine. I started it back in 2008/2007. I should have rights to edit the pages as I see fit. Someone that took the time to write one page does not have control over everything. Please let me have creative license over my work. It is not my intention to rip apart others contributions, but sometimes I need to clean things up and add some things to the story. Anyways, I don't think anyone else has contributed to my story for about three years, I don't think they will be mad if I change a few sentences or delete something so it makes more sense.

Oh... whoops. Guess I was more tired than I thought. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Could you delete the following page in my story. Walk over to the fully-grown female child and explain to the father that you intend no harm, you just want her as your mate
I changed the title, edited the page, and tried to move it to the new location, only to find that someone had written in it already. Thanks.
Hey, just wondering if you could delete the following page on my story? I merged it with another page, and couldn't find a tutorial on how to do it. Thanks.

Thanks for the helpful tips on punctuating dialogue! Gosh, you'd think I would know a simple grammatical rule like that. Horribly embarrassing, but I guess you learn something new every day! ;D

Thank you so much for helping us abide by the categories. I actually am teaching a class of 12-14 year olds in Santiago in a two-week course of creative writing. We are really enjoying this create-your-own-adventure site but did notice that one of our pages were deleted. What would you suggest we do to prevent this happening again? Would you like us to each make our own account?
Thank you!

Hey, I've seen that you've edited my page. I'm currently trying to figure out how the formatting goes, and have had some trouble with the tutorial. Do you think I could get some advice? I've read the tutorial over and over and cant figure out how to add properly formatted links and how to edit those linked pages (and so on and so forth)

User: Mreurotic Date: 10/10/2013 Hey, I messaged you once before, and was now curious about something. Is there a way to find out when new pages within your story are added? I ask this because I come on weekly, and hate having to travel through every option to see if there is anything new. I was also wondering if you had your own website somewhere, and if you did, could you share it? Thank you.
P.S. If you, or anyone reading this, wanted to email me, you can at townsville_strikers@hotmail.com
I saw your comment, and I'm kind of busy with my story at the moment but I plan on putting a title for each category I post. -Txtinkerbell12, 12-9-13

Thank you for the constructive criticism without being a jerk, and for not deleting my contribution. I admit that was my very first edit on the site. Your adventure is my favourite on the site so far and I may have gotten a bit carried away! - ThaneOfAss
Still new to site. I see your warning and am trying to figure out what you mean it. I'm just working on structure atm and apologize if I left out something important but i'm still working around the main structure and am not finished so please don't delete my work. My thanks, ~ MixedMojo
Hey there - just wondered if you'd like to read and/or comment on my story. Am new to the site. The story is The Punishment of Claire and Cassandra. Any tips/criticisms on the story or using the wiki would be most appreciated. Hornlarry 00:09, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
User:creat0r Yeah, I know I'm not the best at grammar, and I know I forgot the location in the status bar. *facepalms*
Anyways, maybe you or someone else good at grammar could review the pages I make? I don't want to impose or force you to work. Just asking! Anyways, thank you so much for fixing my little problems. :) User:creat0r What do you mean? I looked over my additions and I can't see any problems. ________________________________________________________
User:Mreurotic Sorry if my grammar isn't up to standards. I love that story arc, yet since nothing was added for a while, I thought I could help. I can see 1 punctuation error, yet that is it. Sorry if I make mistakes.
User: Mreurotic I do admit that I am distracted at times, often writing an addition to your things, as well as on another site trying a 'choose your own adventure' style thing with the comments. I will take into consideration your advice, and re-edit what I have put up to keep it up to your standard. I hope that you do find my writing up to standard, as part of my dream is to become a writer, and this is good experience for me to learn.

I wanted to try to fix the 'Hot Mom' pages that you deleted because they weren't catagorized but my first and only attempt failed so feel free to delete that attempt.

Didn't mean to side-step your authority or anything like that and apologize if it created a miss understanding. - Black Dragon 25
Hey how do I add the title to the catagory? - Yougotmyshirt
It's great the sight has decreased the page load time. It was getting to unbearable levels. However the 20 page per hour thing is god awful. Can that be edited some how so ppl are not waiting a whole hour? Like say down to 2 or 3 per minute.--Yihman1 05:02, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi, youve sent me 2 warnings on page catagorization. I'm new here, how do I do that? 6 june 2013
alternative site?
Hi,
These last months the site has been unbearably slow making it practically unusable, and despite repeated contacts the site admin Rob Kohr does not seem interested in acknowledging that his quick fixes aren't real solutions. Since I see no indication on his part a comprehensive fix restoring this site to normal responsiveness is forthcoming any time soon, I'd like to ask you if you know of any other free wiki site with a no-censorship policy, Platypus? Regards, Anedwcan 06:16, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Views
Really quick question, I can't see the amount of views I am getting per page anymore. Is this the same for everybody or did I change a setting?
Thanks, Bojangles
Hello! Just curious about why you deleted my page. - FFF
In regards to your last comment on my talk page, I just wanted to say that I respect that rampage is your story, and if you don't want me posting there, then just say the word; I will respect that.
I put up a couple of stories last night, one of which I found in a folder which I thought I had posted a long time ago, the other of which I wrote in a bit of a hurry. For that reason, I must have forgotten to make sure that they conformed to your preferred punctuation style, and I apologize for that.
In regard to your last comment on my talk page, allow me to say, "Thank you". You said everything I had hoped you would say, and I feel encouraged to keep writing, and to follow http://editthis.info/create_your_own_adventure/Punctuation_with_dialogue.
My academic background is in descriptive grammar, and I have since moved to work with editing, which is of course prescriptive, but I never work with fiction writing, so I haven't had cause to study use of punctuation in quotations before.
User: Hwolin
Sorry about any grammar mistakes, I thought I had looked over it and caught them. Do you mind letting me know what I missed so I'm more aware of it next time?
Hey it's me again. It seems that stories haven't been featured in a while. Are they chosen by the someone or can we just replace it with our own every week?
Thanks-Bojangler Aug/20/2013
User:Darkrage6
Sorry for the way i've been acting, i'm not trying to get banned. Sometimes I don't always think before I post due to my Aspberger's Syndrome, I was out of line with what I said before and I regret it. I appreciate you showing what I did wrong with my last entry, that really helped me. So i'm going to take your advice and try and start my own story, i'll consider myself lucky if I turn out to be even half as good of a writer as you are, i'll try not to make my grammar look too sloppy. I actually did well in my English classes in college, but I guess it's not always so easy to adapt your skills at writing papers into writing stories on sites like this. _________________________________________________________
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. - Azmor

Hi This is Pedobear12 Thank you for showing me how to add the category into the story, I was trying to do that, but gave up. turns out i was almost there :) Anyway I was wondering if you could tell me how to make different lines in a single story merge. In other words if one decision was made, how do I make the lines merge with a bit down the line decisions of a different set. What I am getting at is that if you choose a path it may lead to being captured or death. if you choose the other path one of the decisions in that path could have the same result. So instead of retyping it, I want to know how to direct the page to that same ending, especially if I think that ending was writen well?
Hey this is Gaydude, I'm new with all these things, I have the basics like making a page and stuff down. Don't know a thing about adding the category thingy and also about merging parts of the story.
Incomplete pages /options/status bar/category from the previous page.
Hey thanks for the feedback. I am fairly new to this site and don't yet know how to make new pages, add choices or add category bar. I don't mean to leave the story on a limb, it's just I don't know how to add options and selections. Could you message me and explain these to me if it's not too much trouble.
EDIT: Interesting how the masculine/feminine forms persist from the the word's French roots. I didn't know that!
I dont know how to create the page with a catagory how do i do that? 22xander
Help
Platypus, i am pretty new to this site, and i want to try to help with your story. Can you please help me with making a good story with links?

Thank you, From TrawnyCarrol
Thanks man, I'll read some of the interactive and see if i can help somewhere
Pokemon Trainer School - Trawny
Ok, i read a lot of what has been done, and i was wondering if i could help with the Pokemon trainer school? I'll take any pokemon, but i would prefer to do snivy's story.
Pizza Girl Choices
I'm confused as to why you deleted the page I added for the pizza girl in the hotel. The note about the deletion said the choices weren't in second person, but each and ever choice refers to "you", the very definition of second person. Please clarify this for me.
Catogrizing pages Trawny
how do i categorize these pages, still a bit new with that.

About my additions
I'm cool with you editing and deleting my posts, it shows that you care about the quality of the story. I'd like to apologize for any annoyance I may have caused. Also, about the thing with who was in the car, I assumed that the choices being made were more what the person reading would want to happen, not what the actual character in the story was making. Whoops, I will be sure to follow the rules in the future and brush up on my grammar skills! --Anyname 23:08, 9 February 2014 (EST)
Vandalizing
I didn't vandalize anything. The only page I've altered has been for continuity, due to what has happened in the storyline for the previous few pages. This wasn't a prank, that was just the direction the story was going. You can check, if you like: http://editthis.info/create_your_own_adventure/Give_her_one_last_cream_filling --User:Nighshade586
Hello
Just wanted to say hello, thank you for deleting my post.
Sorry, I am not used to editing these. I do better with my blog.
Anyways, I guess I will see you around ^.^
--Dirty Me 13:09, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
Addition -
Platypus, question. I want to create a page in my story but not linked to my story where I can keep a log of where my links are and where they are broken.
I can probably do it on my PC, but I am editing from both home and work, so feel it would be easier if I can just have a link log or something where I keep track of my forks without having to go through it multiple times.
Is this acceptable to do? I just want to make sure.
--Dirty Me 13:57, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
So, just checking. Do I seem to be doing fine right now? I know I occasionally post a long story in a link, then have no additional options and change the stuff in that link. I am just laying in the base for the branch I am working on, and will remove/add/edit/modify everything as I progress. You can see my most recent path if you are worried about that, so you can see how I work on it and bring it to the final stage. Just wanted to mention that, since I am still doing alot of work on it. --Dirty Me 10:37, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Hmm, think I have a problem. I tried to create a template so I could have a hide text thing, and think I did something wrong, because I keep getting Template loop detected: Template:Hidden begin Template loop detected: Template:Hidden begin Template loop detected: Template:Hidden end. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I tried it from the standard wikipedia, but, it doesn't seem to be working D: --Dirty Me 09:20, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Actually, what I am trying to do is this (Which you can see is a problem if you check the Dirty Me/Storyboard:
Opening [show]
- Nothing seen here
Click the show,
Opening [hide]
- path 1 [show]
- path 2 [show]
- path 3 [show]
Then, I can create the page paths, so, for example, someone is reading through, then gets to a certain point and needs to leave, they can just go to the Storyboard, look up the path they see, and go directly to it. It seems nicer than the category page, so you can see what choices lead to what paths. I guess I saw Uman's, and liked it, but wanted to make the entire story path so you could just look up options quickly and decide where you want to go. But right now, my opening, with all paths shown until the end of it, is over 900 lines, which won't really be nice for anyone to use. Instead, it is just a mess D: --Dirty Me 13:05, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
If we can figure it out, it would be nice, but no worries. Sorry, I have created a few pages for you to delete, since it isn't really worth it to try without being able to hide. The pages I guess that I wasted trying this, and that aren't needed are: Template:Dirty Me/hidden begin, Template:Hidden begin, Template:Hidden end, and think I accidentally created Template:Documentation. If we can't really find a way to do it, I think my storyboard idea is useless, but guess we can wait for a little to see if someone knows how to before deleting it. Sorry for the mess/headache D: --Dirty Me 13:37, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for deleting the pages, and sorry for the mess. Also, thanks for fixing the +annabeth thing. I didn't notice I deleted the wrong part. I saw it had some warning thing about resources or whatever, so I was trying to delete some of the PAGESINCAT things I was using. It helps for finding stories that don't have much, but guess it gives some problems or whatever. I will just use it for the currently active stories now. Now to see what else I want to do. Maybe I will look at Uman's thing and try that for my storyboard. idk, we will see xD --Dirty Me 16:12, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Platypus, sorry, I thought I had fixed Blazetempest's issues a bit more. I wasn't sure what to do with it, and it was a bit poorly written, but I thought I at least made it more sensible. It may be my fault, since I was unsure if the story was written from an "I" or "You" point, so I left his pronoun style the same, and just adjusted some of the other grammatical mistakes. --Dirty Me 16:29, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
Platypus, hope you don't mind, I used your {{warn1}} template with someone who was forgetting to put categories. Figured it would help you out a little, to save you the headache. --Dirty Me 06:16, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Just want to let you know, you might want to check Special:Contributions/Egrizzly11 and the change he made. I reverted it, but I can't do much else about it. --Dirty Me 13:36, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
lol, well, there was also a round with potatophil, but think it was resolved. Not sure if you will like his new story though. It is on this site now, but...well, have fun checking it >.> --Dirty Me 15:00, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Well, looks like no one has been able to find a way to create a collapsible table. I may blank it soon if we can't. Seems too awkward trying to use it without being able to do this.
I do have another question though. Do you know how to get {{NUMBEROFVIEWS}} to work only for a specific page, not for the entire wiki? I noticed people saying on one of the things before that it used to show it, but it was removed. Is there a way to do this only for a single page? Because I can get it to work for all the pages in here, but not for 1 only. Just wondering. --Dirty Me 08:59, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
I added a little to the {{warn1}} template. Thought it might be good to give them the link to what they did wrong. Just wanted to let you know so you could take a look and revert if you don't like the addition. --Dirty Me 02:22, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
I am wondering. I have been looking around this wiki, other wikis, features, pages, etc, and have noticed that overall, our front page is rather ugly, that there are additional tools that may be useful (For example, one had a "forum" area where things could be reported, or just discussions or whatever), and that overall it seems like some things need to be rethought. I don't really have any answers for these issues, but I was wondering if you have had any thoughts about all this. I am willing to help try to come up with some better things like the Copyright notice, maybe try to help a little with the grammar section, and the forums idea, but when it comes to trying to think of how to clean up the home page, or make some other useful pages, I have no idea where to even start. Just a little overwhelming I guess. Do you have any ideas for any of this? Basically, it just seems that it could be organized better than we currently have, and look better. --Dirty Me 09:16, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
Sorry for creating more work for you platy. But, I started some pages, then figured out a better way to organize them. Is it possible for you to delete: Prank War/Jennifer-Super Glue/Ashley-Hot Sauce and Prank War/Jennifer-Super Glue? Sorry for the added work D: --Dirty Me 09:49, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
Quick note, you might want to check User talk:Gunior. Just letting you know. --Dirty Me 07:47, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
Well, think I have some more organizing done. I moved a few things to the pit and have been going through the adult stories and adding them to the [[Category:Adult Stories]] category. --Dirty Me 14:35, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
o.O lol, did you find the pic for the template, or upload yourself? I thought you couldn't upload anymore? Sorry, just kept giving me the broken pic, and was annoying me xD --Dirty Me 15:59, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
Got it, thanks. Now I can update them. Of course, I have found most, except for a few that don't seem to make it far, normally update their page after they get a warning xD But, that can help me help you out ^.^ --Dirty Me 18:26, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
For the Hitchhikers Guide thing: Yeah, I checked the date, but thought that when the ability to upload images was removed that maybe the images also were removed. After you fixed it, I figured out what was wrong. Actually, I had this site bookmarked as Choose your own adventure. I had visited this site a while ago, before it was changed, because the first time I clicked the link, it failed. Sadly, I just never did anything with it. Don't even know if I created an account or anything. lol, I only joined recently because I was looking through old bookmarks, and clicked on it wondering what it was xD --Dirty Me 18:34, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know, I have blanked a few pages because, when I went through everything they created, I found out, they basically created...well...no story, just options with no content. Just wanted to give you a heads up so you could look at the ones I blanked to see if you really want them removed. --Dirty Me 07:22, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
lol @ (Move log); 05:27 . . Platypus (Talk | contribs) Louis moved to Lois (Learn to spell!). You should look at the history. It is...a mess >.> --Dirty Me 02:06, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
And, think I am finished with the Adult Stories section. All stories have been gone through, and their category pages marked as Adult Stories. Many of the low page count, long time without editing, have been moved to the pit. Others which are not getting much attention, have had the note added that they are on the pit watchlist, so we can see if they are added to before the 1 year point. I thought this would make it easier. I will still do a few other things around the site, and once I am up for writing more, add more to my stories. Just wanted to let you know. Oh, and I blanked a couple more things. You can check to see if they deserve deletion, or if you would prefer restoring them. --Dirty Me 06:28, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, I know, I am giving you lots of blanked pages. I have just been blanking the ones that only have a single page, or, if the story has more than one page, it has no real story, like the one that had 6 pages of "Are you this or this". I am refraining from blanking the ones that have at least two pages, and some basic story premises. --Dirty Me 15:46, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
Okay, so, one thing I have gotten annoyed with is the image insert and 20 minutes. I understand why it was done, but I soooooo want to try to show the readers the clothes I am thinking of when I write these. Take for example this one: Dirty Me/Try to seduce him. I linked the skirt to the following page: Dirty Me/BUNNY NOO Circle skirt. Is there any way I can take that image, then insert it back into the article so that it shows the skirt, instead of the user needing to click the link? Sorry, not good at templates or whatever, but basically I want the text on the left, and the skirt on the right. Just wondering if I can do that as a template or whatever (You know, change the skirt pic to a template or whatever, similar to how the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy story did)? --Dirty Me 12:38, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
So, I could technically do it by creating a pic on a different template each time, then single use the template, correct? Does that seem overly...spammy? Don't want to do that, but it would be nice to liven it up. No worries, they would be pics that are not overly "adult" (No hardcore, although I am wondering if there would be a limit for see through type outfits, I can think where it would be good to show, but, I feel strange putting anything that shows more than you can see out and about on a website), just something to liven it up. And thanks, it is one of the skirts I own. lol, I have alot of Asian fashion since I live in Taiwan. No, not my legs, but I do own the skirt.
Okay, well, it works. However, I think I need to work on how to get these boxes to show up in the right area, and also see if I can figure out how to get it to show smaller... Eh, at least I learned something. You can check it at: Dirty Me/Try to seduce him. However, now I created another page for you to delete: Dirty Me/BUNNY NOO Circle skirt, and not sure if you need to delete the page I redirected it from: BUNNY NOO Circle skirt --Dirty Me 13:30, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
Ok, now this is just ticking me off... When I have tried to put a pic in a new template, I insert the link, create my category, and only after I am sure my link is done do I submit. However, now (which didn't happen yesterday or the day before), it is popping up with a captcha box. So, I fill in the captcha box, and then get the message that I cannot insert an external link more than once per 20 minutes, effectively preventing me to insert a photo at all... Any idea why I suddenly have the captcha box popping up? It is preventing it completely D: Maybe since I have created a new link, the site has decided to verify me every time now? This is annoying... --Dirty Me 07:23, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
Yeah, and I think I made a mistake. I notice now when I try to put up a new pic template, it says linking has been disabled... I wrote a bug report, and explained what I was doing, why, and asked if it was my fault. You can see the bug report here: constantsun.fogbugz.com/default.asp?192_to7lkkbt5dh5s27o (You will need to add the https, :, and // yourself). Hopefully I can get a response. And hopefully Rob won't ban me if it was halted completely because of me D: btw, I did want to mention, I am now putting up the HTML for my pages so people can create their own copy to read through outside of edditthis. It is in hidden comments, but the instructions are on the Dirty Me/Info page. Basically, the only thing is to copy the html correctly, and make sure the links are correctly named. I thought of the idea when I noticed someone mention something on one of the feature request pages about making the stories downloadable. Not sure how quickly I will have it for everything though, and I may change it, trying to make it look better as I go, but then people can download my stories in a nice format if they can follow the instructions. Now I hope people don't accidentally wipe my pages trying to copy the html code... --Dirty Me 12:27, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
Just to let you know, before you banned BigTR, he put the page A Very Horny Day back up after you had deleted it, but before you banned him. --Dirty Me 08:47, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Okay, I tried it out. I put in a pic that I think the male audience will enjoy. I guess you see what you think of it at Dirty Me/Take your baby doll blouse off completely and let me know what you think. And no, that isn't me xD I learned my lesson about real pics and the internet a while ago -.- --Dirty Me 06:50, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Sadly, I learned that the hard way...I ended up on one of those revenge porn sites after I sent someone I was talking to online some pics of me...About three years ago I guess. The good part is, it was one of those sites the FBI ended up taking down (Not for me, but because some politicians daughter or something ended up on there). Ended up closing down my Facebook because of that. I still don't have a Facebook to this day, I just use my husbands. But...who knows where else my pic has ended up. *shrug*, I learned too many lessons the hard way D: However, I did learn, and because of everything, I am who I am now, and I am happy, so, I am grateful. The experiences made me who I am today ^.^ Hopefully though the pics in the different pages are helping to give a better impression of what I am thinking about when I am writing. Now I just need to figure out how to better format everything so it looks better, instead of random images around -.- --Dirty Me 12:16, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Welcome back. I was getting a little worried about you. Thought maybe you got tired of the site and left :o --Dirty Me 15:55, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
I know the feeling. I guess I had a severe case of sinusitis, and my ears got infected too, so the doctor was saying if the medicine he gave me didn't fix it, he would have to drain them... Fortunately, the medicine was able to help... --Dirty Me 16:10, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
So, do you think the photos are really any help to set the mood? --Dirty Me 12:52, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
To be honest, at first, it was just suppose to be an outfit or two, but rereading my discussion between me and Blackadder38, I thought about how men are more visual, and that it might help liven up the story more, especially after you mentioned how these are adult stories. However, I have been trying to keep it softcore still, and am not interested in hardcore. But, I have been thinking that, to be completely honest, I am not sure if I like the pictures in my stories like this. I may just remove them. I will need to think about it. That is why I was wondering if they seemed to be a good addition, but if they don't help the scene out, then I don't really want to keep them around. --Dirty Me 14:01, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
Just a note, you might want to check Special:Contributions/SergeantC, especially the pages like The Arizona Buzzsaw Butchery, since it seems to turn the story into gore. I haven't seen any gore before this, so it seems like it might be inappropriate for the story. I guess I will let you judge this. --Dirty Me 09:19, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Welcome back. Feeling better finally? Was wondering if we had lost you lately while trying to sound threatening to the people who kept messing up. One got two warnings within a day after I added a category and status to the page he made, and then he edited and deleted them, after I had fixed it the first time...be glad I am not an admin...might have been one less member... --Dirty Me 07:28, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Just wanted to say, I am still around. I have just been busy, since I now have a baby boy :o --Dirty Me 03:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Just letting you know, I decided, yeah, probably better not having pics. Just don't want to have to watch to see if the linked images poof, or try to find new pics. I will let readers imaginations fill it in. I blanked the image templates, and noted "Blanked" so it is easy to find. I also blanked the category page. Sorry to create more work for you D: --Dirty Me 02:19, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I have noticed the author of this, Try on the white blouse with black skirt., after two warnings, is still not categorizing his pages. Since I cannot delete, I will leave warning three and following actions up to you. --Dirty Me 06:37, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
FacebookFighter's question, so it is not in my question section...
Any reason you deleted my story? Kelly and Owen's Pokemon Adventure?
-FacebookFighter
If something was wrong why not message me some how, instead of deleting everything?
Harry Potter
Please move from family section as it has.kicking in the balls etc
(About Dadrocks' change to the front page) Platypus, I read the message on his page, and in his defense, I don't think he changed the Harry Potter thing on the front page for vandalism, but to try to request it be moved to a different section since he seems to feel it was no longer family friendly due to his addition. I understand why it is inappropriate, but, I think it is more an act of (insert reference to lights and no one being home here), rather than malicious intent. Just wanted to mention how it seems so there are no hard feelings because of a misunderstanding. Of course, there is the question of quality to his changes...but that is a different issue... --Dirty Me 09:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

If any help is needed working on the website I would be more than willing to help. I've never worked with MediaWiki, and my web design is limited to HTML, CSS, and the smallest grasp of Javascript,
but it would give me a good way to improve on such skills and possibly help out around the site.

Do you know why the [[code]] tag doesn't work? According to "help.wikispaces.com/Wikitext", the tag is part of wikitext.

I have been working on a redesign of the main page. (Defnota's Test Page) I have two questions for you: Firstly, what do you think I should use for colours?
Second, what should be the featured story? Smutty Sex Romp, I think, is a little too mature for a featured story, it'd be nice to make the site somewhat minor friendly. Defnota 04:13, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Website Help 3-
That main page redesign is almost done, but I should replace the featured story. The only problem is, I haven't read very many of the stories on here,
so I have no idea for an age-friendly featured story. Any suggestions?
-Defnota 22:37, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Main Page -
Actually, that leaving a call for a featured story idea will not only finish the replacer, but will give the community input, genius!
Do I have permission to replace the main page?
-Defnota 23:00, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
thanks and question
I saw your edits to my story. I believe you... warned, as it were, me about not adding categories. I'd like to thank you, since I'm so new I didn't fully understand the system -and still dont, for that matter.
Since you obviously do, I would like to know if its alright if I add adult content. I saw that stories were grouped into different categories with regard to what ages they were suitable for but I do not know which category my own story is in and I don't yet know how to tell.
from Completionist
- Hi all - Do we have a page where all the (active/online) users are listed? I think that it'll be a lot easier if we know who's still doing stuff and try to build a community-like atmosphere here. I have an idea of attempting to unite all the abandoned stories from the pit into one huge crossover story, creating a new category (possibly entitled, "The Abandoned Story"). I was wondering if there's any objection to that idea?
As for the idea update, I am going along the lines towards what you told me, which was similarly what I had planned originally, anyway. I was thinking that since each category serves for a different audience, the number of alternate stories would surmount to the same number of categories. In essence, family-friendly for family-friendly, adult for adult, and so on. But since this is an abandoned stories project, do you mind if I edit the stories within the Pit before posting a title on their appropriate category? Also, it's *abandoned, sir. :P --Completionist 22:33, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. Their disappearances probably mean that whoever enters the Pit can never come out. With that in mind, I'll be diving right in. On to the flow of things: I've realized that many of these stories have various writing styles and voices. My question now is the limit on how far I can edit these stories without interrupting any status quo/ rules you've laid out? Or is the Pit simply open to any kind of editing no matter how harsh? I mean, they are pretty much abandoned (this is only referring to voice and style, not the context itself). --Completionist 23:27, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
Ah, that's a good point. I was just worried that someone might have been furious if I stitch them all up. Thanks for the clarification. With that matter resolved, it's time to begin. --Completionist 02:11, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
Quick question: Once I manage to completely integrate the stories into my own (that is, once they are fully branched out and linked as one, etc.), should I remove the stories from the Pit page, or should I just keep them there? Thanks.--Completionist 06:02, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Quick proposal to changing the main page: to move the Introduction section next to the to-do list and post it under a similar set-up (colorful box) so new users do not overlook the Tutorial, which many seem to do. Again, just a suggestion :)--Completionist 14:27, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Alright, then. RobKohr, the animator? Haha well, thanks for the info. I'll try contacting him, then... if that's even possible.--Completionist 00:23, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
Do you mind if I try reorganizing (not adding colorful boxes here) the Main Page? It feels a little off when seen (new visitors will firstly see a to-do list rather than an introduction to the site). If you don't like the change, feel free to undo it--Completionist 00:07, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
So I thought of another way to somehow make things more community-ish. A chat! I can't post outside links without angering the bots so if you want to try it out, feel free to visit my page. Hopefully this doesn't break any terms or agreements with you?--Completionist 20:17, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks on the compliment. Now we just have to figure out how to get people in there! I've tried to embed the javascript in the page (and yes, spent the entire 40-60 min to wait for the limits), but couldn't get the html code in there. I'm assuming we only have some limit to javascript coding? Just wondering. Again, crossing fingers the chat would be useful!--Completionist 05:39, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
A Radical Request
I've got a really radical idea to clean more of the main page up. Usually I'd just change it by myself, but it's too crazy so I gotta ask you first. Anyway, here's the idea: 1. Archive the Main Talk Page (again)
2. Move all editing sections from the Main Page to the Main Talk Page, but also keep a comment section underneath.
3. Add a note to new users to go to the Main Talk Page for the rules
This will do a few things: it will finally create the line between readers and editors; it will clean most of the page up; it will make things a lot more organized...
OF course, this is a suggestion, but it's a radical change, so just asking for permission.--Completionist 05:43, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
...
Just saying that I'm back! Hope you missed me. If not, it's fine. Anything new happened the last couple months? Anyway, just dropping by to say hi. Time to rewrite and reboot all those abandoned stories!--Completionist 05:34, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
from Minnie May Hopkins
Hello Platypus
I just noticed that I created a page that was not only linked from the page I created, but from other pages, too (it was redlinked before, I check that). To avoid this happening again in the future, I am currently recreating pages I made so far using complex links. In this process, I am forced to blank about 125 pages, which I kindly ask you to delete after being blanked. My apologies for the work this causes you. -MMH
Thank you for the tip with the move pages. I hope you aren't angry with me when I say that I once used the move feature and was displeased with the look of it and thus will recreate the pages regardless. Once more my apologies. -MMH
Main Page
Are the tables on the main page necessary? They kind of displace everything around them.

From BlightedSong
Just stopping by to say thanks for the edits (and to help clutter your talk page even more). I didn't notice any of those, now I know what I need to focus on, so thanks again. --BlightedSong 22:46, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
MFCmaster123 Thank You, I think?
Mr. Platypus, Thank You for the wake up call on my story. If it was you. If not then thanks to whoever it was. I will be updating weekly from now.
Title in the option
Hello, Mr. Platypus. Sorry about my mistake. I'll keep it in mind in the future as I'm adding to stories.
Also, I have a question for you: Is the title really necassary when adding options?
What I mean by that, is the Tutorial apparantly says that a choice would have to be something like:
(as an example).
My question is, do you really need to have the story title attached to it? I've played some games on here beforehand (Rampage is probably the best example) where they never added it.
Sorry if this sounds kinda newbish, but after all I am new here and I'm just getting the gist of things.
Thanks in advnace.
Thanks for editing (from Ballerinagirl)
Thank you for tidying up my contributions, I'm new to this but I love this Katie story and wanted to continue it. I hope it continues x

Im very sorry for the editing things i thought they were just random things that popped up on the link like on other sites.Could you give me some advice to prevent that? because Id hate to be banned the day i joined... <:｜
New here! I NEED HALP
Hey, Platypus. I just joined today and I need some direction from someone that knows how everything works.
