The Most Needy List has been updated to exclude AI work as well as work that smells suspiciously like cheese burned onto a cast iron skillet.

The Story Game: So you want a co-author? on 2/12/2026 10:10:44 AM

Contestant Number One is quite a major nerd writer! Contestant Number One claims to have six-hundred folders filled with over four-thousand files of writings!

Contestant Number One says:

I like Branch and Bottleneck. It allows me to put in more choices without it ballooning the scope. Fun to have delayed consequences as well (and so much potential for secrets).

It also lends itself well to having a core opening shared by all (or most) paths, which means that the initial establishing exposition doesn't need to be kept consistent across multiple paths (because it is always introduced at the start -- makes my editing easier).

But it's definitely mostly about it being easier for me to keep the scope in check. I've had too many ambitious projects end up unfinished. Although, now I'm making myself think that I should attempt using the Gauntlet structure more, since the scope is even tighter there.

Polaris, please! At least give it a reading and rating so it can get ranked! Thank you!

Now you two, don't make me use my mean librarian voice.

Questions About Writing Tools on 2/8/2026 1:06:11 PM
We also have lots of people here willing to do the same. I know I'd rather have another human explain to me why things don't work. You're getting several different human explanations based on personal experiences in reviews as well - from other writers.

Of course, my stance on AI has always been clear. I will never favor it over clumsy, charming humanisms.


Questions About Writing Tools on 2/8/2026 1:00:23 PM
If you are using AI to spit your story back out all corrected, then are you really building those skills as a writer to learn proper spelling and grammar and flow that will eventually become second nature? Probably not.

Questions About Writing Tools on 2/8/2026 12:45:24 PM
I think the true patriotic CYS way is to boldly and confidently put your error-ridden story out onto the site and get torn apart by reviewers and just do better on your following stories :~)

It's like a rite of passage as a writer and as a human.

I should have said "and/or banned" 🤭

Everyone, you will get a DM in the next day or so telling you your role!
