Become a video game developer! We’re a totally normal creative outlet that won’t take over your life and bring you new types of joy and very new types of complications! It’s fun and easy and not at all life-altering (for the better, on the whole)!
Hahahahaha, no, seriously, congrats you two @Niki_Christopherson @Dryinspection on the milestones and bravery to add layer after layer of interactivity to your games. Word by word, code by code, my citizens.

If you’re only at chapter one and at 112k words, then you might be Emily, Anne, Charlotte and Branwell.
Fair warning though, chapters tend to get longer as the story continues and you have to write consequences for all those choices. My last chapter is usually about 4-10 times longer than my first - which is part of the reason I’ve kept having to split up my last chapters into different branching files since like, Guns of Infinity.

I’m already seeing signs that I’m gonna have to do that. XD I’m just crying because my outline has 26 chapters in it.
Aye aye Capitan, thank you for the accolades!

I hope some of those chapters are shorter than your first.
No, I’m not worried about my current status as the author with one of the largest published Choicescript games in existence. Not at all!

I might become a contender for that title too. I’m currently writing a scene that can only occur if you’re romancing a specific character, play through the scenes in a specific order, go to a specific location and be an asshole in a very specific manner. So not something 99% players will ever see, but it logically should happen, so I can’t help but to include it.

Haha, there’s a reason why I’m keeping this one project in a back burner for now. (The reason is that it has an insane amount of branching, and I can’t figure out where I’m going with it. Plus it takes forever to write, so I’m doing it on side of orher projects. Works better that way.)

Hi all, I wanted to point you to this news.
This is very sudden and shocking, so I haven’t got my thoughts fully ordered yet, but just to say that I’d like to continue with these support threads; we can figure out a good way of doing it. They’re an important part of this community and I want to keep a bit of Eiwynn’s legacy into the future.
Take care.

I cried a little to see this, but I think she would love it.

Wholeheartedly support this. These threads have become such a part of the community here, it’d be an absolute shame to let them disappear.

I agree with all of this. 
Maybe a handful of those of us who are regulars on here could commit to keeping them running. I don’t think it would feel right for any one person to take over.

I’d like to be part of this. My last message from Eiwynn, just a few days ago, was her thanking me for my help keeping the Writer Support Threads tidy. I’d like to help keep them going as a final gift to my friend.

This is something that should be take with care and deep thought. I can say that Eiw, wanted this carry on. She was always thinking about how improve the efficiency and how been more useful.
She was trying to improve how address feedback and how to improve the snippet day due lately there weren’t a lot of snippets.
So I am thinking on doing a speed jam session this 15TH day in her memory.

Agreed, I very much want the support threads to keep going and I’m certain loads of people will want to help. If it’s OK with people, I think it might be good to wait a week or two to start thinking about logistics in more detail - just so that the news has some more time to sink in (for me, it doesn’t really feel real right now).
I think that’s really lovely.

I think it’s a wonderful idea for you to help keep these going, Aletheia. You do an excellent job at bringing a kind, thoughtful presence to the forum, similar to what Eiwynn brought to these threads. Your perspective is most welcome.
Brittany’s encouragement meant so much to me. I will do my best to continue to show up here and encourage others. Even if all I can do is like as many posts as possible, I feel that contributing in any positive way to this community is worthwhile.
Agreed. I think what we need now is kinship and a sense of continued community support. Hope you don’t take this message as trying to wrestle out logistics, but rather me voicing my support for Aletheia, who, though not a writer per se, is an integral part of this community.
Sending strength and compassion to anyone who needs it right now. Please take good care of yourselves.

I would like this. It’s taken several hours for me to even really process the news. I don’t really want to jump into trying to reorganise/plan threads and the like right now. Not to wait too long though, but just not this week.

Not everyone checks in every day either, so it would be good for more people to have time to catch up.
