My name is Zorquil, and I start way too many projects at a time! I just get an idea and start it, never finishing it or putting it on the shelf while working on other projects. I read through a bunch of the links sent in the introduction message and I felt called out from the "Embracing the Writing Process". Telling me to finish a project instead of all my 50+ WIPs in the background... I shake my head at you. I'll start a thousand more projects before I let my productivity drive!

... Anyway, I'm starting another project here and probably will forget about it when juggling a bunch of different projects! I have game projects, music projects, art projects, writing projects, video projects, reading through Warrior Ca--

Anyway, jokes aside, I'm going to (try to) do a story. A wacky comedy where you play as a loaf and escape being shipped off to be eaten. Been transferring it from another CYA site where variables weren't explained and the scope of things were very limited. I feel overwhelmed from all the scripting processes here, so I'm planning to only do basic stuff and learn how to use this site. At the moment, I'm researching how to make choices not appear if you don't have an item... or figure out how items even work in the first place. It's late at night, so I probably will need to come back to this after a good sleep. Or I'll just scour the forums until I find an answer. Still debating whether sleep health is more important than cancelling out the instinctive drive to stay up late, diving deep into the late hours past the midnight tolls with claws scraping against the bedsheets in anguish over a lack of knowledge, a lack of insight, a lack of lacking knowledge and insight (and apparently a lack of proper synonyms) until reaching that heavenly star buried behind several posts of how-do's and what-is's and feel the satisfaction of achievement at 4 AM, regretting the daybreak lights shining through the windows of my... wait, I'm not home, I'm still traveling at the time of this. So it's the soft-pressed curtains of this simple, cheap motel burning my eyeballs and the squint of my eyelids as I sit in the passenger seat of my car. Though I suppose I can just rest my eyes during the car ride and...

... What was I talking about again? Oh right, items. I should look up how to do those. Anyway, glad to meet you all!

EDIT: Figured it out literally seconds after I started playing around with buttons. Okay.

Well welcome to the site. Glad you figured out the link restrictions, let us know if you have any other issues. Honestly though, most stories here are narrative focused and use no scripting at all, and you'll likely be rated on the general entertainment value of your writing and amount of branching possible. Variables and scripting can potentially add a lot in tandem with that if you're willing to tackle them though.

Just curious, what was the other CYOA site? Infinite Story?
