Rules on Mature Content.

17 years ago
What are the rules regarding mature content? By this I mean pornographic in nature. Is it enough to just rank the story the highest maturity ranking? Or should I actually do as I was doing and say NSFW on links that lead you to NSFW content, For instance There are some scenes where this is not a major part of the story, but it gives the reader something else to do, and fleshes out the characters (hehe flesh) A bit. Any suggestions on what to do?

Well there have been graphic imagery before. NO actual images but description is fine but a warning is nice and a seven rating is definitely required.  MCIGOAKT had some.

EndMaster in general, actually. All of his stories go way over the top with content.

Eheheh, we should implement a level 9 Maturity rating. It's description is "EndMaster, this is for you, bud. Maybe Mom proud. Or, disgusted." lol

Funny, considering that there's no 8.

Heh. That's basically why I have extra warnings on the front of stories that go over the top.

I wouldn't put any porn pics in any story though.

imo that would really take away from the story, as you wouldn't need to describe much.

Yeah, and even though that would make site population skyrocket, it's not the type of attention we'd really want.

Well you never know, some creepy guys with an idea for a childrens CYS game involving baby sea otters with bludgeons might just be the change of pace this site needs!

Dude. Babeh seals with bludgeons sounds awesome. lol! But you seriously wouldn't want pr0n on this site. I mean...no. If I want pr0n, I'll go to a pr0n site, not CYS.

Geez, man. Porn in a CYOA? That's just ridiculous... But it was a good story, even without the pr0n.

personally i find it a major contradiction myself. CYOA's were developed in mass in the 80s as simple reads for teenagers. however, Infinite Story has created many mature oriented stories that dont fit that style at all. Granted things do change, but i dont find this change for the best. oh well, to each his/her own.

Frankly I see IS as too loosely monitored. I'd take constant bickering between members over disgusting stories any day.

Lol. I feel the opposite, personally n00bus. I don't have to read a story I don't like, and while the same can be said about me reading flame wars (being that I don't have to if I don't want to) I'd rather not have to worry about stepping in and out of an interesting topic just because people start getting at each others throats. And the debate over what is "disgusting" is also a matter of opinion.

And Fleshy, as for your opinion that it's not an improvement, I must disagree with you as well. I'm not saying you're not entitled to have yout opinion; but the "teen reading" thing is a fad, a fad that unfortunately faded away. This genre of writing never really explored any other possibilities and it faded away because those stories (while amusing) had almost no literary merit.

If the genre is to ever come back, it must advance and it must creep into new outlets; otherwise it's a stalemate. Imagine where comic books would be if they never got past Archie, or imagine they got to Superman and all his cheesy glory stopped. There is an element of humanity that modern comics have that were never touched upon in the "golden age". Just like CYOA books never really touched on deeper plots.

That's just my opinion, mind you. I really am a big fan of the genre and seeing what good writers can do with it. That may be one of the reasons I prefer IS to here, not that I don't like it here I just have a preference. I like the more "adult" oriented story archs (don't take that as meaning porn) that are more prevelant over there than they are here. I like it when someone experiments with the genre and takes a new perspective. It's not all adventure anymore, there's so much more to it.

Drag's story isn't really a new one, it's been up for a few years. (He's added to it over time) It's probably the only real one we currently have since it's dedicated to the subject. There's a few others I guess you could include but they usually fall into one of 3 categories...

1. A random story in which someone decided to just write crappy sex descriptions in some of the branches.

2. A "get the girl/dating" story that has crappy sex descriptions and which is usually just badly written in general.

3. A regular story which just happens to have graphic sex descriptions, but sex isn't the sole focus of the story.

There's a place called CHYOO2 which is solely dedicated to CYOA porn. But as you might expect it's pretty limited in scope.
Oddly its actually more monitored than Infinite and has a few more rules of what you're not allowed to write about.

I'm surprised that JJJ didn't mention that IS's contest story this year is actually porn. Though there is an alternative which you can do which is an allegory story. (If you're REALLY ambitious, you can combine the two themes)

There are a couple of long and amusing forum threads of how this all came about, but the current goal is to keep it interesting rather than just boring line after line of sexual descriptions. But given the lot we have over there (And assuming they get motivated), I'm pretty sure any stories entered are going to be far from straight up "normal" porn.

3j didnt have to mention the contest to me. i frequent IS. I just havent done anything. But i am always on the forums and such reading. however, i seemed to have missed the actual rules of the contest. i thought it had to be both Porn and Allegory. i did read Drag's story though, very well written (grammatically speaking). not my type of story though.

Well it was originally "allegory" but there wasn't anyone interested in writing on that topic. So jokingly I suggested the contest should be porn, and they went with it. It should be interesting, I have an idea in mind... It's gonna be a depressing porn about a sex robot in the future who is awaked to emotions and feels violated by his enslavement. I'm hoping that anyone who tries to beat off to my story will cry a little as they shoot their load. lol.

I agree with Anubis. I'd rather argue and watch people argue than read stories like that.

 

 

 

Anyone ever seen the episode of South Park where Chef sings about prostitutes? Classic.

 

not a prostitute(?),
