Writer’s Submission Rules

ANNOUNCEMENT CENTER

This is where I’ll provide updates on the state of the story and where I plan to take it going forward.

UPDATE 10/3/22

I am currently working on the Toad Tea Banquet scenes, which is a chapter that's probably going to be about as long as the Peach Stripping chapter, if not longer. Look forward to it!

If you enjoy my work, consider reading what I'm uploading to this year's Kinktober story: https://chyoa.com/story/Kinktober-2022.47789 Or you could read the other contributors' stories, they're pretty good as well. I hope I can keep up with the daily upload schedule, I don't nearly have as much material on the backlog as I do for this story, lol. (send help)

Current Word Count – Vidyaland Document: 54,466 words.

Oof, been a hot minute since I've updated this. I don't remember when it happened, but I broke past 50K words on the Vidyaland document! That's half the size of a novel! Too bad I didn't write this during NaNoWriMo, huh?

Premise: Follow the rules set forth both in the introductory chapter and in this chapter, please. The Grimoire has rules that it must follow, and I'd like for that to remain consistent across all stories.

Spelling and Grammar: A minimum of good spelling and grammar is expected. I'll try not to be a grammar nazi about things, and I will work with you to provide the best work that can be made for this story. Think of me less of a publishing agent and more of an editor for an anthology.

Rules for settings: If you don’t like the settings provided, feel free to make your own. Just be sure to give a brief description of the universe and what’s in it.

Content Warnings: Do not take this to mean that I will refuse your content based upon what's in it, this is a measure purely for those who do not wish to read certain content (or to see it another way, it's a flag leading you to exactly the kind of content you want to read). I'm not asking for much, just a little [Content Warning] in the chapter title, followed by a detailed descriptor in bold at the top of the chapter page, it doesn't need to be any longer than a single sentence.

The content that I would like to be flagged are as follows: Watersports, Scat, Gore, ****, or Major Character ****.

Example:

Chapter Title: Peach and Daisy go to the Ladies’ Room [Content Warning]

At the top of the page: This chapter contains scat content, reader discretion advised.

I shouldn’t have to say this, of course, but just to cover my ass: CHYOA content rules apply.

I may add or remove more guidelines and rules as they become apparent, depending on reader/writer feedback.

Obligatory Disclaimer: Doesn’t this story already exist?

Yes, it’s called Sex Note. It can be found here: https://chyoa.com/story/Sex-Note.33402

I’m making my own version of it because my setting and initial chapter didn’t get approved, despite following the rules set forth by the creator, Sexdream. When I sent a message to him asking why, he didn’t reply. This guy’s only on the platform once a week, and I had already waited two weeks in vain, waiting for my story to get approved. I refuse to wait any longer for my story to continue not being approved for no damn reason. So, I have removed my chapters from his story and have uploaded them here, and here is where I will continue uploading my chapters. I made my version a Moderated Story (as opposed to Private) as well to give other writers who may have suffered a similar fate a place to put their art as well. That being, those who had great grammar and spelling, and didn’t break the story’s rules, not those who were refused because they couldn’t be bothered to follow the guidelines.

Suggestions: This part of the Writer’s Submission Rules is what I would consider the “Pirate’s Code” of the story, more like guidelines than actual rules.

First up the Ecchikami: They can look and behave however you want, I’m not going to hold a sex god/dess monopoly over your heads. You can even chose NOT to include one. It's all up to personal preference. As a general rule, the Ecchikami tend to stand by and watch the mortal use the Tome, being total Voyeurs. They can also be more hands on if you so wish, just note that after an Ecchikami has their way with another person, that person typically has their mind wiped of the encounter. Though, I’m truthfully only including that particular rule because that was the rule in Sex Note. If you feel like the narrative could be better served by characters remembering having mind-blowing sex with a perfect divine being, be my guest.

Secondly: The Ecchikami eyes. Much like in **** Note, all Ecchikami are equipped with these from the start and may be willing to impart the power to mortals in exchange for something. What that something is, I’ll leave up to you, the writer, but it should be something that equivalent to the massive amount of power that the eyes give.

The Ecchikami eyes can see a person’s name and age above their heads, followed by esoteric sigils representing the person’s sex, gender, sexuality, orientation, sexual experience, etc. This is to give the owner a better approximation of how a person might be better utilized with the Tome. Of course, all of this could be rendered moot given that the Grimoire Fantasia can be used to simply overwrite any of this information. This is more of a tool for those who care about the subjects they used as targets for the Tome, not for those who simply wish to domineer all who stand in their path.
