Orphaned Series | |
| Writing.Com (Website) / int_2c18b9a3 | comment |
Orphaned Series: Whether it's due to death or the writer in question simply 'losing interest' in writing, this sadly happens often. If the story has only a 'few chapters', it's also a factor. | |

Bribing Your Way to Victory | |
| Writing.Com (Website) / int_5c17c12f | comment |
This cap was recently raised for paying members who now have the option of three different choices instead of just two on the later chapters, even if the interactive isn't their own. This was likely to help compensate for the new restrictions placed on interactive stories that greatly restrict their accessibility for free members. (It also makes a good incentive to buy an upgraded membership.) With a new feature of basic membership allowing people to add a third option after the fourth chapter would change the formula to 5^2*3^247, or roughly 1.76*10^119 chapters. | |

Zombie Apocalypse | |
| Writing.Com (Website) / int_60414102 | comment |
Zombie Apocalypse: A popular theme in the interactive stories section. The are dozens of these (maybe hundreds or even thousands) of varying quality. Some authors put a lot of effort into the story and establish a coherent universe while others put the reader into the role of a mindless zombie slaying action hero. There are also a ton of fanfiction interactives that center around zombie games like Left 4 Dead or Dead Rising. | |

Cap | |
| Writing.Com (Website) / int_834427cd | comment |
Cap: In the interactive stories, the number of continuous chapters is capped at 250. However, in the lowest membership mode for the second and third chapter there are a maximum of five possible choices. The fourth and fifth have a maximum of three choices, and for the remaining chapters a maximum of two possible choices. This means the total number of possible chapters for a given interactive is 5^2*3^2*2^245. Roughly speaking that is about 1.2*10^76 chapters per story. This cap was recently raised for paying members who now have the option of three different choices instead of just two on the later chapters, even if the interactive isn't their own. This was likely to help compensate for the new restrictions placed on interactive stories that greatly restrict their accessibility for free members. (It also makes a good incentive to buy an upgraded membership.) With a new feature of basic membership allowing people to add a third option after the fourth chapter would change the formula to 5^2*3^247, or roughly 1.76*10^119 chapters. With the Upgraded Membership or above, a person's cap is now four possible chapters after the first two. This means the new cap is 5*^2*4^247. This is roughly 1.27*10^150 chapters. That is roughly 10^74note or 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times more chapters than the lowest possible option. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Is there any writing on this site? Why yes, yes there is! Also, several of the pornographic interactives are, eh, quite... blunt with what the viewer will be reading about... | |

Content Warnings | |
| Writing.Com (Website) / int_b21ddb6b | comment |
Content Warnings: The website mentions that even though the site uses a 'rating system', it's up to the authors themselves to decide the rating of their works. Needless to say, not everyone thinks a violent pornographic story is only for grown-ups and give their own story an 'all-ages' (E) rating. Or worse, a pornographic story involving naked child characters from one of your favorite childhood shows having sex with one of their siblings.note We WISH we were joking, and we hope you have as much Brain Bleach on hand as we do. | |

Gamebooks | |
| Writing.Com (Website) / int_d3f9fdb3 | comment |
Gamebooks: Interactive stories on this site allow for this. In fact, the interactive stories system gives Writing.com a leg up on other web literature sites such as FanFiction.Net.note However, as of January 1, 2013, users have to be a paid member to create new interactive stories, and even then they are subject to limitations on the amount of interactives they can create. Those who joined the site before that date are not subject to these limitations (including free members, but they cannot make any more interactive stories than the ones they may have made before unless they upgrade their membership) and everyone can still contribute to someone else's interactive story. | |

Featureless Protagonist | |
| Writing.Com (Website) / int_e3f34fb4 | comment |
Featureless Protagonist: Many stories, and especially Interactives, have these as your viewpoint character. Partially, this is due to making it easier for the reader to put themselves into the story. The other reason is due to laziness; the writer is likely too lazy to think up of a full character (other than their gender) and maybe a few other features depending on the story. If the piece in question is an Interactive, other writers can add more features to flesh out the characters, as well as add more personality-types. | |

Product Placement | |
| Writing.Com (Website) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: In addition to the various ads that appear for people without a paid membership there are several people who do this with their own stories. There are even interactives that are based around Walmart and McDonald's that have been around for years and have hundreds of chapters. | |
