Between C and D, it's not even close. While story C was good, story D was GREAT. I vote Story D.

In A vs B, it's already a hard decision. I'm not entirely sure whether to go with the written path or the game, but I think I enjoyed the creativity of the game inside the story more, so I'm going to go with Story A.

That's reasonable. Getting the main story out is always difficult.

I will say that this sentence particularly takes me out of it with its redundancy, so I thought I'd share a better way.

Looking around at your surroundings, you realize that you are next to a house that has not been reduced to a few mossy rocks yet, with the wood not rotting away and the walls still standing. 

There's a much better way to phrase this, as an example: 

"Looking around, you realize you're next to a house that has not yet been reduced to nothing."

That's of course from my very amateur self, but I hope the point gets across anyway.

As for the links, I suppose that makes sense, but it still feels odd to me. Might just be personal preference, though, so do what you like!

Not sure. I've never had one!

Make sure to capitalize your links! ^-^ Try to avoid unnecessary comma creating run-on sentences. It's hard, but it makes the writing that much better.

Oh! Also, Coauthors work by going to the Story Properties page and scrolling down to where it says [Add Coauthor], then clicking on it and choosing someone. (With their permission, of course. Don't add people willy nilly.)

I know Dead Man Walking is a great survival game, or if you're looking for something more item-based, Dungeon Stompage. Although they might not be exactly what you have in mind. There's also Tower of Riddles and A Stack of Cats if you wanted more puzzle focused.

I'd love to proofread, I always enjoy it. Let me know if you want any other recommendations for survival or escape games. As far as I know, there's no town-building games on the site.

Wow, spent the last couple hours reading all that. Then I found MadHatter'sDaughter's commissions, and I deeply need them - alas, she's closed. Thanks for the suggestion, the site drama is more fascinating than I thought. I didn't even know what CoG was but now I can say they absolutely suck. 

This is really well done! I'm going to have to look up Abgeofriends now. I need the CYS SHAME story.

I aim to amuse. Additionally, I was very sleep deprived (and perhaps a tad drunk) when I wrote that, and RK has been very nice to me on the site so far. Glad you got a laugh out of it, though.
