A Stack of Cats

You are a man on a mission. The cats, they must be stacked.

A puzzling math and logic game I made just to put some of the scripting practice I've been doing to use. Have fun and please let me know if you encounter any bugs.

Should be solvable by middle schoolers, or those with same basic level of intelligence as a middle schooler.

Agent of Order

Orbiting a barren planetoid in a system full of nothing just past the edge of the frontier, The Last Outpost is just another refueling station. Strategically important, true, but on a routine stop you never expected to spend longer than a couple hours there, let alone a couple of days fighting for your life...

There are five epilogues, but some may be difficult to discover. Note that actions have consequences, but not always immediate ones. (And if you just need an End Game link, go play around with the probe.)

Facts About the Planet and the Solar System

A compilation of some little known facts about the solar system, as well as the debunking of a few myths.

In addition to the scientific explanations, there's a small story dramatizing it all.

Hopefully young readers will find this fun as well as educational. :)

(Might not be the greatest story ever written, but consider this: it got me 200 points.)

Inseparable

It doesn't matter what they say...

Jack the Bean Counter

KOBOLD KEBABS

For Endmaster's 4th Prompt Contest. The story must involve a cooking competition.

Love is for the Birds

...and the squirrels. Sort of.



Written in six hours, for no other reason than to avoid consignment to the SHAME pit after my other Romance contest entry didn't want to cooperate.

Now You Gotta Deal With This S***

A tale told in verse. A text from your sister requesting a pick up from a party leads to a night of strangeness.

Inspired by Bucky's ballad contest. Though...I wouldn't call this a ballad. I'm not sure what I'd call it, actually, other than exceedingly stupid, and fun to write.

(Don't pay any attention to the scores, they're just for me to track which endings reviewers get.)

Read My Stories or Die!

HATE.

THE PURITY AND INTENSITY OF MY HATE IS LIKE A THOUSAND MERCILESS, UNQUENCHABLE SUNS.

AND YET, I ONLY NEED ONE...


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Silver Horn, Silver Hooves

When the weather is fine, you've been coming to this grove to drink from the pool for centuries now. Today, you meet a stranger and hear a story that changes all that...



A fairy tale adventure.

Another Damn Wolf Story

Character Creator

A list of storygames with substantial effort put in, all written in the last couple of years and sorely in need of ratings and reviews.

A modernized guide to the forums. The path to internet popularity and happiness, and a few CYS specific do's and don'ts.

Yes, what DB said exactly. You're not going to get anywhere obsessing on points and comms for their own sake. Those are a fun side thing, but the people who really excel and become a core part of the community are here because they love reading and writing and the possibilities of interactive fiction and discussing those things with others. A big mistake school aged kids make is treating this place like a chat room and making threads all over the place without much to say. The forum isn't here to provide 24 hour entertainment, anything to do with writing takes time and thought and nobody likes seeing a bunch of litter everywhere. Just go to flightrising.com or something for all your mindless ADHD needs and use this site when you're able to set some time aside to focus.

Reading and rating a game gets a point, leaving a good enough review for a commendation gives more points. Participating in certain forum activities and events can give more. (And just in case you're getting any idea of rating a bunch of games without reading them, we can usually tell when people are doing that and can just take all the points back.)

You can look up "commend" or "commendation" in a dictionary for one thing. But a commendation shows up as the red text on a forum post or game, or it puts the gold star next to a game review. It's basically a gold star sticker from an admin or one of the more advanced community contributors on especially high quality writing. (Though it's a little more informal on the forum and can sometimes just mean we really like a post.)

>>and in part due to SoecialOlympic's desperation rivaling that of a paraplegic prostitute in the comments section It probably backfired on you a little that this comment revived memories of your 3000 words of desperate slobbering over Fresh, people who live in glass houses and all. (but I can't really complain about that part, rereading all that was a good time.) But also, yes, kind of in poor taste to imply you're giving someone a lower rating because of something someone else said. Whatever competetiveness is on the forum shouldn't be spilling over to anyone's writing, and we don't need to imply to genuinely promising new authors that that is normal or approved either. And even the "compared to the previous game" part, to me anyway every game should be judged on its own merits, we don't have a sliding scale for each author. Anyway, SO triggered two people with four words, y'all need thicker skins. The people getting ruffled by SU's "attitude" need to get over it too, you little snowflakes never could've survived the Steve era lol.

I'm amazed that every word in the title is spelled correctly btw, how did you pull that off? This is a definite improvement as the most coherent message you've ever written here, good job.

@Starcosplayzz You seem to be Keith's personal caretaker, are you going to be around the site often enough to help save him from himself, help tie his shoelaces, pre-chew his food, change his diapers and so on? @V__V Are you willing to adopt Jonathan?

@keithafraidofnilly @Jonathandracon How old are you two really, and what was the last printed chapter book you read? (If you have ever done such a thing.)

There's an article here: https://chooseyourstory.com/help/articles/article.aspx?ArticleId=4351 Please do take your time reading some of the articles on writing, punctuation, and grammar while you're at it.

Now what about Jonathan, whose fault is he?

How do you two know each other?
