Pushing Back the Christmas Story; and Resolving Issues

Not feeling too well at the minute; so rather than cancel the 18 hour story I'm going to push it back to Friday January 9th. I'm away over the Christmas period without good internet; so this will be the earliest weekend date that I am free to tell it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, most people seemed upset with the change in how Storytiem would now work. I've taken the considerations on board and will now be doing as many of the old type of story style as I did before. In addition to these I will be giving Bogwarts a trial run with the new system for a few days. This does not exclude Bogwarts from getting a 6+ hour session however.

I am hoping to be better either Monday or Tuesday, but I know neither of these days are particularly good for people.

Stories that only get updated once per day will be having their systems streamlined to ensure they get sizeable content updates.

e.g. At the start of a day in Bogwarts I will give a list of the classes available that day and ask you to vote upon them all at once, as well as rolling all necessary tests. This will enable me to write a large chunk at once.

I will also be revamping the combat system a bit in a similar fashion. You will now be getting a large, uninterrupted erotic scene to ensure it is still possible to fap to this.

UPDATE TO CLARIFY THE NEW SITUATION:
-Storytiem used to happen only once every one or two weeks. The daily updates should be viewed as a bonus storytiem, and will happen in addition to the six hour story sessions.

I'm changing the way stories are told now that we have a new board.

The Flagship Story will be a story that lasts on /storytiem/ for 2 months. I will try to update it at least once a day, and sometimes twice.

The Regular Story will be similar, except that it will have a definitive ending point.

Finally, the One-Off Special will last 5000 words. (Not strictly, I'll probably end up going 1000 words or so over to bring it to a satisfying conclusion)

I will mostly be doing stories through daily updates now, instead of 6 hours sessions were people had to leave during the middle. However, this does not mean I will not do anymore long sessions. If I'm free, and we're able to rally an audience I'll still do the occasional old-fashioned storytiem.

Also, interested writers among you, feel free to host your own stories! You don't have to worry about typing fast; you don't have to worry about shitposters. Take your time and just tell the story you want to tell.

Looking forward to seeing if you guys come up with any good storytiems!

The best, the best, the best wishes,

So Long, Thanks For All The Shit! - Storytiem is moving to 8Chan.

It's happening, Storytiem is moving to 8Chan on a trial basis.

What does this mean for the future of Storytiem?

Pros:
-An actual dice rolling mechanic will replace rolls.
-ID's are on this new board.
-In addition to the six hour sessions I usually do, I will also be able to host longer stories that get updated once or so per day. This means I can effectively host multiple games at once.
-Threads won't die as quickly.
-DesuDesuDesuDesu can be banned.
-Other Anons can try to host their own stories in a slower, more relaxed environment than the hectic /b/.
-Based Hotwheels runs 8Chan.

Cons:
-Much harder to get new people to find out about Storytiem.
-ID's are not coloured.
-No more trips/quads/quints.

If you want to check out the new Storytiem board, here it is:
http://8chan.co/storytiem/catalog.html

There isn't any content yet, but we'll get around to that. I'm currently trying to figure out a way to see what Anons rolled. e.g. How do I know they didn't just roll a d10 instead of a d100 to ensure they got a low result?

If anyone knows the answer to this please let me know.

Fappy Happing,

So, /b/ is fucked to hell right now.

moot seems to be either fucking about, or testing out stuff on /b/. I'm not sure which.

Regardless, there's no ID's which means that people can just spam their votes during Storytiem. It also means that the plans I had for different coloured ID's having effects is completely out the window.

If it resolves itself before Saturday, great. If it doesn't I'm gonna push back the Christmas story until things have calmed down. No sense in letting it turn into a giant shitfest.

Happy Fapping,

Onyx xx

Bogwarts is Continuing Now!

Part 2:

Bogwarts wins again; but with a much smaller margin!

I was concerned that Bogwarts was going to be the top story forever; but as I looked at the past polls it seems the percentage of people voting for it has steadily decreased, while the percentage of people voting for other games has now reached around 60%. Perhaps it's a pattern? Maybe it's not. We'll see.

Anyway, since Bogwarts got voted in again I'm adding some more new features to the game to keep it fresh.

Labeling Days
Instead of just Day 15, Day 16 etc. I am now going to label the days Monday-Sunday. This makes it easier to keep track at a glance.

New Classes:
1.) Religious Education and Holy Magic
Religious education will teach holy magics to combat demons and the undead. It is much more powerful than Defence Against Dark Things spells; however you can only cast holy magic if your orgasm and horniness stats are below 50%.

2.) Wizarding Law
It's law, but for wizards. It does have a use. Trust me.

3.) Bio-enchantment Class
A more advanced class only available to those who are doing well in both Charms and Bio-herbology or Magical Creature Handling. These include spells that increase your strength, agility, make you more resistant to pleasure etc.

Broom Riding
You can now use your broom to travel to different areas. Anons are welcome to suggest their ideas of where to go. Better brooms are able to travel much farther. I will be placing the location of Bogwarts on a map pretty soon so you can see the distance you can travel.
For the meantime, assume that your old knobbly broom can take you to Edinburgh's Magical Quarter, and that's about it.

If you want to go further than your broom will allow you will have to buy plane or train tickets instead.

New Dungeons
I've created several new dungeons you can explore and look for loot. As always, you should visit the MAAF society and they will let you know where you can go looking. Some Dungeons will be extremely hard, so it may be best to leave with a little bit of loot and come back later, rather than try to finish the dungeon and fail.

New Characters
I've also made 6 new characters that will be introduced as the story goes on. (3 male, 3 female)


The Storytiem Christmas Special
I will be hosting a special 18 hour session for Bogwarts for Christmas.

Yip. You read that right. My current record for writing is about 11 hours. I'm going for an 18 hour marathon for the Bogwarts story on Saturday 13th December. The date may change, but I'm pretty sure that's when it is going to be held.

Quick Question
Why is the Bogwarts story so popular?

I asked this last night on /b/ and got a few diverse answers. I'd really like to hear more from you guys/girls/delicious tarps though. If you let me know what aspects of the story are good I can try to expand on those a bit more. You can leave an anonymous comment in the Disquss box below this post.

Happy Fapping,

Onyx xx

I'm Back

Sorry for the delay, I was up to my neck in real life shit.

The Good News
  • I may have time for a 3-4 hour storytiem tonight, but I'm not certain, so don't hold your breath. Since this isn't long enough to tell a full story I'll probably just do a couple of days of Bogwarts.
  • Star Wars Parody is complete and ready to go.
  • Mufloy POV Gallery Story is done and is actually over 900 words! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NATOdRIKPTfRtGdYe_O_z7m76NCkY6v_vr5G8KXf3ws

The Bad News

  • Pok*mon is lagging behind. I need to finish off the plot and come up with more scenarios, just been too busy to work on it.
  • I still have 4 gallery stories to write that I haven't gotten around to finishing yet.
  • I've not received a reply from my original voice actress, so I am going to start looking for another one instead. Audiobooks will thus be delayed.
  • I'm extremely busy throughout December until the second week of January. Don't expect many stories during this period.

The Other Stuff

  • After about two months of playing, the Bogwarts story is finally up for a vote. The options for the flagship poll will be posted tomorrow.
  • First payment for Patreon came through. Thank you everyone for supporting me! I received $49 which will be spent on searching for a voice actress.
Happy Fapping,

Hopefully I'll see you tonight,

Onyx xx
