Some suggestions:
For the Artists:
If you're into this story, please consider drawing artwork and, if possible, creating a chyoa account and linking the pictures with a DeviantArt or similar, so that we don't need to necessarily use our imagination (some of us are brain-dead, like me). In return you get the gratification of calling yourself "that guy who makes pictures for that one LoK CYOA which nobody knows about". Okay, for real though, it'd be mighty appreciated.
If you DO decide to link pictures for specific events along the progression of the CYOA, please link them in a new paragraph surrounded by parenthesis, which are these -
(), at the bottom of the page. Or, link them here somehow (new thread?) if Chyoa doesn't allow that (did not see "NO URLs" under the author-set guidelines or any other rules section for the site).
For the Writers:
Please don't be afraid to contribute, signing up for Chyoa is really, REALLY easy. If you don't like to use your personal email, make a junk one and use that. Remember, this is a OPEN-ENDED CYOA, meaning ANYONE can write to it. Please, though, if you decide you want to help, please be aware that posting spam is NOT tolerated, and we would all be very grateful should you proofread. Naturally, proofreading is not a requirement (as the good sir Spycam so gloriously illustrated for us). It's also not a bad thing to simply submit an idea you've had, but put into a story context (not something in the first-person, where it's YOU talking, something where the characters (Krystal, Liz, Fox, Katt, Falco, etc) are the ones talking and narrations are given, describing the setting or event. Doesn't matter if the dialogue is a little bit sketchy and amateurish or if the descriptions of areas and events are lacking, it can still be a really big help to other writers with writers block). That way, any author who's a little stumped on progression for a specific area of an arc gets a little jumpstart from your creativity and inspiration. However, PLEASE don't just post absolute junk (e.g. Viagra adverts or self-promotion), it only serves to infuriate us and everyone.
Spycam Wrote:Hey guys. I feel I should apologize for my extended hiatus. I guess it's been over a year now. Without going into any personal details, let's just say that life got crazy for a while, and as time dragged on, coming back to write this just became a more and more distant goal amongst a myriad jumble of projects and responsibilities. However, things have restabilised now, and yesterday I decided it was time to come back to our dear Krystal. I couldn't just show up again with empty promises, so today I added a 19-page thread chronicling the baseline story, aka the clothed arc, up to and including Krystal's confrontation with Galvatron (the Redeye). It's basically the original game in print with my own embellishments (spoiler alert, see: vaginal sex) and some important 'plot' developments, but it gives a much needed framework for me to work around when adding other paths.
Please note that I have done zero editing or proofreading, and I'm not entirely sure some of the things I wrote were good ideas, the bar scene in particular, but it's posted here
http://chyoa.com/story/the-legend-of-krystal . If anyone wants to edit or reword things, please do, especially in regard to the sex scenes. I've never been the best at describing what i envision concisely. And now, I'm rambling. Enjoy!
I'd like to suggest updating the link on your first post, since some people won't want to look through all the pages in this thread. Simply updating your first post with the new link would save some people a lot of trouble. That, and it looks MUCH cleaner. However, if you cant update your first post due to it's age, I suggest you create another thread. Also, if you're into it, I might suggest trying to work on the arc where Krystal goes back to Great Fox, if you get bored or stumped on the progression of the "canon" arc, since the Great Fox arc has great potential for any number of different situations.
