Main page loads fine. Search loads fine. But as soon as you click
and try to enter an actual story it's 100% "muh servers" screen
lockout. Been checking for the last 3 hours and not once have I
been able to read a single chapter of anything. Wtf

It's very inconsistent, and completely obvious it's artificial. The
servers aren't full, they're doing this just so a few of the
writers/readers will get fed up and pay for their ridiculous
premium membership. It's not even subtle at this point, just sad.

yeah, I pretty much ignore anything from writing.com since it's all
inaccesible now

It does the "mah servers" crap every 3rd page I've found whether
it's actually overloaded or not.
go to fictionbranches or the beaddventure instead, they'll be your
best refuges from this mess.

Yeah Writing.com has really messed up interactives for years now
ever since they only allow people with payed membership to create
interactive stories. They clearly hate the adult theme stories that
are being hosted there and are also some of the most money hungry
sites out there. THEY TAKE AWAY really simple features and now
this! The pay wall is nearing my breaking point. I as a long time
user of the site might move all my interactives to chyoa.com. Its a
billion times more friendly then writing.com and there are no pay
walls. What do you guys think?

The inability to read stories because the servers are full annoys
me. It used to be certain times of the day I could get in, or by
keep refreshing the browser page I could, but not anymore. A pity
as it is one of the few places where tg hypnosis without physical
changes, life swap, and role swap stories can be found.

i haven't had the best experience with the site, but i remember a
lot of years ago when i first saw the mention of it here in this
site i created a free account...
Since then, till today, i have NEVER spent money on the site, but
on 2 ocasions have received a basic 1 year subscription...don't
know why or who sent me but i don't care...
Just when i fel like reading some interactives i log in to my free
account without subscription and the site seems to load normal to
me...
The trick i do ist to open the different pathways in multiple tabs
instead of overlaping the pathway on the same one...
i don't mean that the site doesn't need updates, or a complete
revamp, cuz it could for the better and it really should have, but
for now thats what we have...
Best regards...

Seems the admins over there don't like it when you question their
math regarding pricing of the memberships, They deleted my account,
along with my stories and 6-figure gift points.

Yea, Storymaster does not live in the realm of common sense. They
prices are insane compared to the amount required to actually host.

One other thing I noticed, features that have been on the site now
for over a decade are also paywalled. No seeing paths for stories,
no mouse overs for quick descriptions.
It's clearly him trying to drive people away from using interactive
stories, so he can close that part of the site and "Be more
respectable". W.C has always been uncomfortable being used for NSFW
style stuff. The admins are very mum + pop style admins.

I think I found an workaround. If you disable cookies, the site is
unable to detect that you just accessed it.

Between this and beaddventure going full paywall I have lost any
will to add any more to stories or post the archives of the ones i
have. I wonder if fictionbranches new admins might be willing to
host.

It's fine, the site was never the same once SandySeeker took all
her stories down anyway.

Does no one on here have the coding or html knowhow to create a
decent tg site for forums and texts with story tree branch
capabilities? Seems like theres an audience for it.

Fictionbranches.net has it. Been back online for a month.
I know it sounds like i'm just plugging the site, but between it
and the BEA Addventure, they're my two favourite high quality
interactive sites.
And steamrolled, if you're the same one who wrote crazy girlfriend
with remote, I think you'd enjoy the largest FB3 story, it's pretty
much nothing but that :)

To be honest, I don't mind paying for the basic membership.
It's not like they charge you monthly.
