Ello! Another newcomer...

Hi, you guys, I'm Katy, and I just joined the site today. (:  In the past, I've really liked story-based games and interactive fiction, so I'm excited to have stumbled upon the page.

Feel free to leave me game suggestions.  I'm eager to find a really good one.

Hello!

10 years ago

Just a minor heads-up, we're experiencing a lack of mods and a spammer right now, so if you get any weird posts or stuff of that nature, you have been warned.

Now with that out of the way...

WELCOME TO THE SITE

Please do read the articles (you can start with the one explain the forums ;) ) for help, and don't be afraid to ask for advice on creating storygames on the Writing Workshop!  Chat idly about whatever you want in the Lounge, and do check out the Parlor Room for recent CYS releases!

Well, so much for enthusiasm...

Just enjoy the site while you're here, and again, welcome.

DO NOT JOIN ANY OF THOSE DAMNABLE FACTIONS BECAUSE THEY WILL TAKE HOURS OF YOUR LIFE FOR NOTHING.  I KID YOU NOT, THESE PEOPLE HAVE LITERALLY DAYS TO BURN.

Welcome to the site, Katy! Hope you enjoy your time here,

As for recommendations, anything that is featured is worth taking a look at, but I personally really like Endmaster's stories and the secret of Daphne ^_^

You don't seem to be a TSR clone, so I like you :D welcome chick!

Welcome, here's a spork It's not even a faction anymore. It protects you from... Well, nevermind. They're the ultimate weapon, basically. Read Eternal, if you can find the time, it's good, and if you feel like trudging through some utterly braindead crap, you can read my story, which is essentially a combination of shameless cyber-bullying and awestruck admiration of the original.

And then there's Order of the Midnight Sun, also pretty good.

And don't worry if you get blasted by visions of arseholes and other anatomy in the forums, wash your eyes out and don't mind them. We've recently been attacked by a troll...

Welcome to the site. Your lucky to have arrived when everyone wasnèt thinking everyone else was a tsr clone. He's a troll we've reasontly had and the admins are busy with their real lives so can't come on often and this is why I think the site should have an ip bann.

GIRLS ARENT REAL.

ITS TSR.

I KNOW IT.

I blame everyone for this.

They said "Oh tsr isn't that bad lets try to change him' AND THIS SHIT HAPPENS GOD DAMNIT -insert more useless swearing here-

There's definitely more males than females, but it's more of Jihelu being weird XD

Ello! Another newcomer...

Haha, I was wondering why so many of the romance games seem to be BxG....

Ello! Another newcomer...

Actually we have a decent ratio - though you'll find that many female authors also choose to make the protagonist a male.

Ello! Another newcomer...

Of the active forum members? No, on the top of my head we have like, 5 females? Definitely more males on the forums. (Though some are ambiguous, so there's that.)

As for writers, probably equal though haha.

I didn't know I was weird.

I just thought "General ass wipe' was more appropriate.

Ello! Another newcomer...

I was being polite, Jihelu ^_^

I was just commenting on how I'm really stupid. X3

Only one way to know if you are a troll or not

I used google to search for it and found nothing.

Meaning they simply cropped it or google failed me.

Haha, you mean you checked to make sure my avatar wasn't a stock photo being used by a troll?

Basically. STill waiting for 4chan-sama to reply, or the other guy. I'm too lazy to get on the chans

Welcome! If you're interested in writing interactive fiction, I highly recommend checking out Twine. ^_^

Ello! Another newcomer...

You're getting paid to support Twine. I'm sure of it now!

Ello! Another newcomer...

Out of their copious revenues, no doubt. XD

They must have roped Morgan in - now she's wrapped around their fingers and hanging by a thin strand of sanity. It really pulls on the heartstrings to know that they have fed her such a line...

You've got it wrong. Obviously Twine is secretly a mustache supporter website.

Why do you put links to people's profiles in the introduction thread? It makes me click the link, thinking it might be a link to something different, and sends me in circles.

Ello! Another newcomer...

I just copy and paste their name off their profile pic - because I'm too lazy to look at how to spell it haha!

Hi welcome. General advice that I can give is don't troll, spam, and think about your stories before you publish. So yeah welcome have fun.

Ello! Another newcomer...

Woah, you deleted the whole thing. Little did you know, it was all a plan to see how powerful you are Berka.

Ello! Another newcomer...

10 years ago

It probably would help if you didn't contribute to the current spam problem that Berka has to clean every minutes from the troll siege.

It's getting really bad when I'M becoming a voice of reason around here...

Ello! Another newcomer...

Typical troll problems. If you randomly see anus-pictures in a post, you'll know what we're talking about :P

Ello! Another newcomer...

Oh, I'm sorry guys. I was just being a troll myself. I shouldn't have been so annoying.

Ello! Another newcomer...

Yep, thanks for being understanding about it ^_^
