Some thoughts on the Thunderdome by Liminal on 12/29/2025
I think all of this is lovely! I've definitely thought of revisiting past Thunderdome entries, (though I've only had two, this still applies!) and I wonder what others could make of them.

I've had an idea of making a storygame based on my first entry regardless - to expand more on wh...

I thought our staff has been good since Fresh left?

Depends on how much staff drama we have, really.
Some thoughts on the Thunderdome by Anthraxus on 12/29/2025
What about shared world stuff? The Thunderdome entry I did with the alien ruin is set in the same world as the storygame I started for End's contest last year, the space station cooking contest. I mean I have to finish it, but is that what you are talking about, or specifically a direct expansion ...

Hatter's 2025 Christmas Party Stream

Posted 12/19/2025 by MadHattersDaughter

xmas2025

The sound of obnoxious jingle bells fills the Townsquare. The decrepit body of Sent still withers away just outside the main water well from the last stream. . .

But don’t worry, this one will be far more jolly! Hopefully. . .

Join me in Discord on Friday, December 26th, 5:00PM EST as we rewrite a classic holiday tale featuring your favorite CYS personalities! YOU will write the story and I will illustrate it! And NO, we will not be sober!

You must be 18+ to join the Discord. Declare your interest to receive an invite!

Most Needy Storygames Reading Contest

Posted 12/11/2025 by MadHattersDaughter

I just published this article which lists one-hundred of the most in need storygames from between 2022 and 2025.

These stories deserve to be read, rated, reviewed and ranked in my effort to update the Top 100 Storygames list with new and worthy stories.

This contest will run from January 1st, 2026 (or now) - December 31st, 2026. So it should not be difficult to at least read the entire list over the course of the year.

But if you need additional motivation besides free points and being more than useless. . .

PRIZES

  • Reading and rating all one-hundred stories will award you an additional one-hundred points.
  • Reading and rating all one-hundred stories PLUS reviewing at least 25 of them will award you 175 points + a bronze “excellent reader” badge.
  • Reading and rating all one-hundred stories PLUS reviewing at least 50 of them will award you 250 points + a silver “excellent reader” badge.
  • Reading and rating all one-hundred stories PLUS reviewing at least 75 of them will award you 325 points + a gold “excellent reader” badge.
  • Reading and rating all one-hundred stories PLUS reviewing all one-hundred of them will award you 500 points + a platinum “extraordinary reader” badge + the Contest Winner trophy + my trophy + ultimate bragging & bullying rights.

It will be up to you to track your individual progress. If you have already read/reviewed a story on the list, that will count towards this contest.

I will not be rewarding individual reviews so you must make it to each tier to receive that prize. Meaning if you review 99/100 of the stories you will only get the gold badge.

Good luck! See you in 2027. . .

EDIT: Reviews have to be worthwhile. No one word or one sentence, vague bullshit. I reserve the right to penalize such lack of effort! If you are wondering what a decent comment/review looks like, refer to the articles: How to Write Meaningful Reviews and Writing Serviceable Comments

EDIT: Do not use AI to write your reviews. I will take all your points and then ban you.
