This story takes place in a small town in modern day Maine. You've heard stories your entire life about the castle outside of town. People claim it is home to vampires while others say its only resident is an old English man and his maids and butlers. No one ever visits there and townspeople live their lives normally, ignoring the castle and the stories. You usually live life in the same manner, but recently your best friend, Emily, has gone missing. It has been a week now and you decide to begin to look for her. You've searched everywhere and the only place you haven't looked is the castle.

Will you find Emily?

I apologize if I offended any of you by saying that we would like to buy the site and also for calling it abandoned.  It just bothers me that this is such a beautiful sight and Alex doesn't really bother with it anymore.  The main reason I said that was because I have plenty of ideas for the site that would make it run more smoothly (some of the reasons I said in previous posts). 

Anyways, I haven't contacted anyone yet and am not sure if I will anytime soon.  This website is like finding gold on the internet that needs a little bit of buffing up and I can't help but try to make it shine.  Whether or not I contact anyone depends on a few things in my personal life right now, so don't think too hard about it; it was just an idea. C:

*usually don't follow up with my goal.

*been writing this "book" for almost 3 years.

Maybe I should just stick to writing poetry, haha. My poems aren't as long.

Also, there NEEDS to be an edit button!  I have so many ideas for this site.  What sort of rights or access does 3J have to the website?  Is he able to change some of it's format and whatnot?

Looks like the person that messaged you that doesn't realize that "fake" eyes are art.  Photoshopped or not, it's art.

Thank you all for such a warm welcoming~

There are such a minimum amount of tags.  Is it somehow possible to change the format of it so a writer can add their own tags, instead of choosing from a list?  I find that it would be easier while searching for a specific storygame.

Also, I see the button for spell check, but it's faded/grey and I cannot use it.  Is this the same for everyone, or is it just my computer?  My spelling isn't terrible, but I do make mistakes now and again, so I find spell check extremely useful, instead of having to use a dictionary for every word I'm iffy about.  I use Firefox, and the spell check doesn't process while I'm creating posts.  Is there a way to fix the spell check?

I didn't think it would be this difficult to write a create your own adventure game.  I truly believe that it's more difficult to write than a regular story, since there are so many choices you have to keep up with.  Though, I feel as if it's more creative because you don't have to settle with just one idea if you have conflicting ones and don't know which one to choose.  You can use all of them!

I just have difficulty finding motivation to write here.  Not just here, but usually any story that's longer than a short story.  I'm 19 pages in my storygame, but to the reader, it's like, 5 or so pages, depending on what they choose.  I've also been brainstorming and writing, then rewriting a book that's hard to find motivation to work on.  The only thing that I find helps me keep motivation is setting a goal for myself on a certain number of pages to complete a day, but I'm SUPER forgetful and usually follow up with my goal. 

For people who have written a storygame, what kept you motivated? 

And, for people who haven't written a storygame... why?  How come you don't have one published and in some peoples' cases, not even started?

Too bad it's not that popular.  I'll see what I can do about getting friends to join the website and spreading the word.

Thank you for all the info!  I'll probably allow people to get a sneak preview once I've worked on it a little more~

Hello~

So I joined the website yesterday after finding it on Google when looking for more CYOA  games.  Definitely a newbie and I have a few random questions.

Is this website very popular?  I always see less than a dozen people online whenever I am.  I mean, is this website new, old?  Is it going anywhere?  I mean, if I make a storygame, are people going to read/play it?

Also, what's the difference between www.myadventuregame.com and www.chooseyourstory.com ?

I've read plenty of articles about creating your first storygame and think I got the jist of it.  I'm about 19 pages in now and have been working on a couple options every once in a while.  It's called 'The Castle of Vampires'.  Don't diss me for liking vampires. D:<  Anyway, it's going pretty well so far.  I just could maybe use a few ideas to keep me going.  Is there anyway people can read it without me publishing it?  

And... tags.  I would like to add tags to my storygame, but I don't know which one would be fitting.  Why can't I just type in the tags I think fit it? There's so very little to choose from.

I think that's all the questions I have for the time being.  Any tips you guys would like to give me? :D
