Features
(original April 9, 2023, last edited Dec 25, 2024):
- Navigate through “Choose your own adventure”-type stories, with pages consisting of images, or even text, exported in JPG/PNG format. (No coding involved for Authors, just provide the uploader with some kind of “road map” for your pages.)
- Supports up to 3 choices; Comprises of one default NEXT and two additional buttons that appear on pages where choices are possible.
- The stories are set up for more than one read-through. After finishing a story ONCE, try to read again, you may find something new…
- “First Read Lock”, (hidden feature, enabled upon request by author) can force readers to view the story without branching in the first time they read. During this time the two additional NEXT buttons are hidden.
- These can occur after your first read-through, for Replayability:
- “Mandela effect” – a page, or part of it, can have a minor change
- “Overwrite effect” – a new page is placed entirely in place of the original page
- Pages can be “pre-fetched” before reading so that there will be no loading while reading.
- Both Left to Right and Right to Left order of pages is supported (as per Author request).
Controls involving Right & Left will be reversed. - Bookmark feature
- Keyboard shortcuts while reading (PC only)
- Pinch action support when viewed on mobile
- Can feature a mix of pages in PNG/JPG/GIF or animated GIF format
- Compatible with Edge/Chrome/Firefox/Opera
FAQs
Can there be more than 3 choices?
>>> Yes, the algorithm allows it, but we like to stay sane so we keep it up to 3. More choices also means more controls/shortcuts, which makes the interface more complex. Though it’d be cool if there were hidden 4th or 5th choices in the future xD
Mandela Effect? Did I read that right?
>>>Yes… Mandela effect as in the “False Memories” phenomenon is how we make the re-reads more interesting by implementing a small change on some parts of the story. These changes can range from small objects, to the pose of the character, to a different animal encountered, etc. I.e. part of the page changes after your first read.
The other effect, Overwrite, happens when a whole page is swapped out for an entirely different page.
I also want to write those types of story. Can you host my story? Or do you do commissions on stories?
>>> We haven’t ironed out the details for these types of request. Please mail snipercat.fiverr@gmail.com or through discord: sstraycat. (with the dot).
Interface? (LOL)
>>> We’re poor at the moment… Can’t even afford to get the paid version of plugins needed for fancy looks xD And so we’ll shamelessly put here the request to support the site thru the Buy Me Coffee links in the top or bottom bar.
More importantly, please support the authors in the future… We’ll put a separate link to their Buy Me Coffee, or Ko-fi, or any support link they have. Authors’ support links will be in the same page as their work.
(Edited as of December 25, 2024):
Eyyoooo, so based on what you said above, means I COULD request to put my story here?
>>> The site is at in its early stage so we’ve barely set up any guidelines. At the very least some basic guidelines like, NO explicit stuff, especially ones against minors, demonic stuff, illegal stuff, credit grabbing, etc., all that are basically saying “Behave!”. But we’re very open to hosting other author’s work. Making these kinds of stories takes a lot of time so it’s only fitting the rightful authors get support.
Please also know that if this does go through, the site won’t be able to pay authors directly (Sstraycat fears the financial plugins 0.o), we can only host their work and put up their support links. And that’s it, just hosting. We’ve already set up so the site’s and the Authors’ support links are SEPARATE. Now you’ll be able to Buy Coffee/Ko-fi for your favorite author!while ignoring the site! (but pls don’t XD)
Please mail snipercat.fiverr@gmail.com or through discord: sstraycat. (with the dot) about this.
Buy Me Coffee?? Ko-fi??
>>> Both are third party websites, entirely independent of this site, where one can sign up (there may be alternatives though). The main concept is to accept small tips and/or monthly support from the audience of your showcased work.
Quoting from Google:
What is the meaning of “buy me a coffee”?
“Buy me a coffee!”, your opportunity to say thanks for the free stuff and to encourage me to do even more.
As if saying “If you like my work or the free stuff on this website and want to say thanks, or encourage me to do more, you can buy me a coffee! Contribute to my coffee fund with any amount you are comfortable to pay.“
Those who own a Buy Me Coffee, or Ko-fi, or anything similar, are free to set these amounts. Take note that whichever one you get will take a percentage off your audience’s contribution, as far as I know, for their service.
<More coming soon>
