"Pain is a gift to a better tomorrow. A bittersweet gift, but a gift nevertheless."
My favorite online CYOA games: The Paradox Factor, Ground Zero, Necromancer, and The Devil's Fire.

My interpretation of one of my favorite TV shows from childhood: Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? This work is primarily based on the TV game show version rather than the computer game, book, or cartoon versions.
Author's note: Please do not cheat by using the Back button- just remember to Save the game every time you're promoted and Restore if you happen to lose.
P.S. See if you can find all the Easter Eggs!
A story set in medieval China.
Note: Even early on in the game you can lose by making a strategically erroneous choice so choose carefully.

Back in Action? New game? Scotomata! on 11/12/2009 4:56:48 AMI'm highly anticipating Scotomata. You really have a magnificent gift for writing (although I did spot several spelling/grammar/syntax errors in the demo) and I enjoyed the prologue (and got the "item" not sure what it was for tho). This site is overdue for a new story. I loved The Devil's Fire and can't wait for Scotomata.
The Pharmacist Trait in Mommy

Does anyone know why Mommy isn't among the Top Rated Storygames despite an average rating of 8? The polished republished version is truly awesome by the way.

Now that you mention it, yes.
For example my story Warlords, which was un-featured, for good reason, in the Fantasy cat, imo really has nothing to do with Fantasy, as nothing in the story is magical or fantastic, just true to an actual historical setting and time, like WW2 or something. There's no Historical Fiction section on this site, and it would be too small, so I don't have a problem with it being in Fantasy even though I published it in Everything Else, which is an even broader category.
To be honest I personally don't feel anything on this site is WRONG, you know, broads and all. From my perspective I'm pretty satisfied with the site as is.

Yea- and I totally botched the only pick 6 topics part too. It just slipped my mind that I was supposed to choose carefully and only get the ones I'm not familiar with so I just clicked the first 6 links, then was in for a surprise...might have to go back later to read the other topics...also the question about the spelling of Ipsimmus or whatever...tricky one...tricky one...are the questions random or the same every play through?

I am amused by your position Mic. "Why pan for gold when you'll only find pyrite most of the time?"
Also, thanks a lot guys for scaring her off with your in-depth analysis. You've just reduced this forum's female population by 50%.

Here's a cookie for you.
Just kidding, thanks for coming out of the closet.
Seriously, I don't believe you. Prove it.
