So i am not going to lie, about a week ago when i first found this site i was thinking of the Goosbumps books from my childhood. What I found instead was a community of people and stories that far surpass that. i have read thorough a few ( and started a few more) of the storygames, and from what i see of the content that has been thought out is amazing. Why are some of you not puting these in bookstores?

But the reason i started this was not to blow smoke up anyones skirt. I just wanted to stop in the forums after making an official account here and say hi. and ask a question. You see i have a viedo game that is basically what i call a "working DnD model" i usually follow that up with "it's like DnD but there are no dice. So i was wondering if I could create a story and open my world to the public for the first time. Let me know if any of you are intrested and honestly i could use some pointers. Untill then i am going to work on some storie ideas and lurk around on the forums and try to sponge up what information i can retain.

Welcome to the site :)

Welcome to the site :)

If the basic editor is so bad why is it still avaliabe?

Hey, welcome to the site and although I agree with you that some of these need to get published, unfortunately there isn't exactly a huge market for CYA books, so we'll just have to use the internet to suit our needs.

Has Endmaster ever considered writing a novel? It seems like he could make a lot of money from one.

You'd have to advertise choose your adventure books, and his stories would either have to be broken up into smaller pages or made longer in order to fill out the book, but potentially he could stand to make some profit. After people are already used to CYAs and he's known as an author of them, who knows what could happen after that?'

It would suck if due to some copyright issues or something we couldn't keep his stories on the site, but it would be really cool if he became famous.

"It would suck if due to some copyright issues or something we couldn't keep his stories on the site, but it would be really cool if he became famous."

 I would think that the copyright issues would come from here. Also i don't think they can take down the stories on this site if it already had them beforehand.

The copyright issues would start when he trademarks the book, if that's what you're talking about (I didn't quite get the statement). But think about it, why buy the hardback version of Eternal when you can look at it in all its glory here instead? I'm not saying Endmaster would do it, but Publishers don't exactly have the best reputation.

Not sure if serious....

Dunno. Just didn't think you would go out of your way to copyright stories you never really planned on marketing anyways. Granted you have some really good ones so I could see why you wouldn't want them to be stolen by someone else who would profit off them. Guess I just never thought about it too much.

Well, maybe he could just start writing a novel instead? Either way, I would buy whatever he published.

I would definitely buy a book by Endmaster or 3J. Both are ridiculously amazing writers :).

he wrote around 100 pages a day untill it was published.
