Author's notes/Writers guidelines.

So I thought I would offer some background to this story. This is my own take on A High school Fantasy written by Sim8425 and first published on Chyoo back in 2003. The original story can be found here. https://chyoa.com/story/Highschool-Fantasy.728 . I wrote for A High school fantasy off and on for about ten years until I moved on from writing for Chyoo. I am now writing under a new ID but for anyone who was around in the legacy days it might be fairly apparent who I am.

My reason for writing a new take on it. One, the perspective is now third person in comparison to the originals second. Two, I feel that with the rise of social media, tiktok, onlyfans, cosplay etc. offer a lot of new story opportunities for a story set in a high school..

I have made changes to the original. Christine is no longer twenty and I've changed her age to forty-five. A criticism of the original was that the Dan and his sisters being adopted by a woman the same age as them didn't really make any sense so I gave Christine was seemed like a more appropriate age.

I have also amalgamated Britney & Becky into a single character. Largely because I couldn't think of a story idea for Britney the younger sister and I'm not really interested in exploring sexual story ideas involving Dan getting together with his adopted mother and sister. I do have storyline ideas for both but it will take sometime before I get there.

I also dropped Dan's Everyman status and while It never comes up in the introduction post the family surname is McNamara. The original was McDohl which was just a Suikoden reference. That I may have been partially responsible for. Dan now has an actual physical description and more of an actual personality which tends to mostly be sarcastic/cynic/stoner

Randy is also now a more prominent character in than he was in the original story. In the original he had a personality closer to dude, frat bro in this version he's now more of a rash, hedonistic, stoner. Many of Randy's more idiotic decisions cause issues for Emma and Dan. Also making Randy into the local drug dealer opens up story options as well.

Emma is an entirely new character and generally I felt that Dan & Randy needed a straight man or woman I suppose, to round out their interactions. Emma being the social butterfly of the school and knowing everyone in some way helps with story options

Update as of 5/11/2026

So when I started writing Highschool Fantasy Redux back in July there wasn't an overarching story behind it all, which is very much the case of the original and many Chyoo stories of the time. The story was a premise and then the joy was seeing these stories become sprawling works. Then I realised that the core of the story is Dan and Britney's relationship. I have been dropping seeds regarding what is happening with her and the biggest of those was in the Peyote trip chapter Moments in the Desert. The full reveal is eventually coming even if it might not be for another twenty or thirty chapters. There is kind of an endpoint in mind but as this is also very much a slice of life story certain branches could continue on for a lot longer.

The story has grown considerably since I started it. As of writing this the cast of characters has now grown to forty different characters.

There are three branches in the story currently.

The school/Nicole branch

The Truth or Dare/Office branch

The Effie branch (even if Effie doesn't actually feature in that much)

The last one is updated far less than the other two.

Usually I attempt to add a few new chapters every few days. Although when I started, I was only really writing for this story. Since then I have started heavily contributing to other stories, especially the ones that were written by Daciasdesire. Please do also check out the story I have been writing in Pirate's gold

Unlike Changing the Grade which was my last major story under my previous username where I went with the approach that all the branches of the story took place in the same canon HFR each of the branches are seperate continuties. We'll just skip past the point where I split the School and Truth or Dare branches after Dan got together with Nicole. I have handwaved the idea those two are together in that branch and should have added the branch earlier. Hindsight in a wonderful thing.

If you want to add to this story

If people do want to add to this I would welcome contributions. A few points, though.

The word count would need to be at least a thousand words at a minimum. There isn't really an upper chapter length but anything above three thousand could be split into multiple chapters. In terms of content limitations. Personally I'm not really fussed by incest/family but if people wanted to include it plus Dan, Christine and Britney aren't really related.

Banned stuff Futas, scat, bestiality, extreme non-consent. I have no problem with people exploring kinks I'm not into but I can always discuss things with any potential author anyway.

Other than that feel to add new characters, do chapters where Dan is not the main focus etc.
