Do you have an idea for a cyoa? Great! Now think to yourself and ask this question.
>Is there any way i can improve my cyoa's experience before I start my thread?
Well, if you thought of something, don't make the thread just yet. Come in and ask about stuff you have questions about.
>art
>story
>creativity
>ideas
Whatever you want it'll be here.
>But what if I get disheartened by the criticism?
Then you probably shouldn't be a CYOA runner. Criticism is everything in life, and you should learn to take it and work with it. No one likes a baby.
>What if i get unmotivated when reading the thread?
Again, you shouldn't run a cyoa then. What happens if you start it, and THEN lose interest? It'll be worse.
Have an idea for a cyoa? Great, build upon it. Test it out here, ask for critiques before you start.
There are a lot of CYOA threads on /mlp/ right now, and no one likes clutter. So why just be a piece of clutter? Come here to work out the kinks, and polish your idea before you run with it. Maybe you'll think of a better one even.
Get help, advice, and critiques here. All you gotta do is ask.
