I know this is a storygame site, but I have about 3 short stories that I would really like to publish here... If this isnt allowed then I propose we make it allowed!

It could go under a new category...

Yeah...

This is an ok idea, but the problem is that there would be other people creating many short story games that can just be combined into one game, by publishing and unpublishing and publishing. And there is a possible chance that there will be many games like AWESOME GAME YOU CAN'T MISS!!! published... I..can't stand those..I'm sorry.

If they didn't have to be short, then fine, but I guess this is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure site. If we did go on with it, there should be an option to release a part of it once every whatever days or something, but still, this probably won't happen, seeing it isn't a site for linearity. I'd like it though.

Guys go host them at blogger or something then post a link or host them in the forums.  I wrote a 30 page linear story and put it in the forums...

You should get points for them though, and have guests look at them. And we already have storygames with no effort, it's no different with stories. Just rate them a 2.

This isnt a linear story site.. You dont get points for stuff like that for a reason.

That is why they should go under another category. And as for the protests about short stories, just rate them a 1. Thats what we have the ratings system for. To vent you're annoyance.

That is why they should go in another category. And also, if you don't like them, dont play them or rate them a 1.

And JJJ, when you say "for a reason", you never seem to give the alleged reason...

I think his reason was "this is a website for Choose Your Own Adventure stories, not regular stories".

It depends on what the administrators want. If they include it, I'll be happy, if they don't, I won't be too disappointed.

Why not regular stories if we have Dice Games and Quizzes!?

Short Stories

I think they were included because they used the multiple choice options. A good point, but if Alex (the programmer) doesn't like that he'll probably use that argument.

Or he'll just say "I don't want to."

I don't know the creators well enough to see what they'll say, so I won't make any judgements.

Well everyone around here seems to reject a lot of my ideas because "This is a writing site". If they reject this one they are being a tad hypocritical.

Short Stories

Um, hello?

Short Stories

This is a writing site. In the form of Choose Your Own Adventures.

If we do this, then we have to accept riddles, poetry and if we accept poetry then we should have to accept art, etc.

This is not a good idea.

kinda how i felt about quizzes... but i agree.

you guys are on the brink of being totally hypocritical:

They are STORIES. I believe the admins wanted this to be a STORYGAME site. Not poetry or somesuch. Stories.

We have all sorts of input that aren't storygames, and some that are storygame-oids. We have CYOA movies, quizzes, tests, simulators, comedy routines, dice games and Nassau coliseum, which doesnt have any game or story elements at all. If we allow these in because they use multiple choice, why don't we look at the other side of the coin: THE STORY. If we have dice games and simulators just because they use multiple choice, why not have stories because they are narratives? In fact there IS a poetry storygame... This site has two main leanings: Stories and Games. If we expand on one side we should do the same for the other.

the problem with straight stories has been discussed before. the fact is, our own website name says choose! lol therefore, we need to have things where you can choose what to do. straight stories are not within that restriction.

Better than my storygames though...

Short Stories

Wait a minute-- your arguement here seems to be:

My short stories are better than my storygames.

Therefore, the site should feature my short stories.

 

(What exactly do you mean by "feature" in that case, anyway?)

Short Stories

Publish.

Short Stories

How should the site publish your stories?

Do you mean like you posted them in the forum, or like, they should be in the magazine?

Short Stories

like the storygames. Using the same ratings, etc. the same way the movies, dice games, quizzes and poem got published (yes there is one poem)
