So, if your someone who's contributed, or just a fan please archive any of the story you want. I don't have time today to do so, we'll see how this turns out. Here's a link if anyone wants to get access to the story:

It's my particular kink, a lot of people like it and I 'm not violating board rules as far as I can tell. Lauren is of course an adult and clearly stated as such.

Anyways I've been trying to get into the CHYOA stuff, there's only a few stories I find I really like (though if I'm not adding stuff I like to it I don't have much ground to complain), but I find it difficult to really parse through. Has anyone made a script or something that can download a whole story into a .mobi or .epub or similar file? Seems like being able to flip through it easily offline would be a good selling point.

Body Image Issues, about girl's having their secret shames revealed! This will include everything from small breasts, big butts, thick girls, skinny legs, or whatever things a girl might be ashamed of that the writer's will enjoy!
The second is Fit Girl ENF, about strong muscular girls being revealed. They might be proud of their bodies, but who knows how their react when their revealed against their will!
Everyone feel free to comment, add or share.

See, I could maybe see a TINY bit of merit to CHYOA staff's suspicious if your thing was ONLY small breast shaming. I don't believe porn needs to be realistic, but I see women shamed for all kinds of physical features and body types. In my personal experience, I've seen many women shamed for being too tall, too muscular, too busty (that one's most common), and looking too old for her age. But I've only ever seen small breast shaming in fiction, so it kinda bothers me that the body shaming kink is usually so one-note about small breasts when there's so much more potential there for the shaming of other body types or physical characteristics.
But that merit doesn't apply here because your thing is body shaming kink in general, not small breast shaming specifically. So in addition to that invalidating that potential merit (and even if it did, I still would think that merit doesn't justify their suspicion and CHYOA was still in the wrong and potentially trying to deny that woman who look certain ways IRL exist), I have to thank you for giving some much-needed variety to an otherwise one-note genre that I'm involved in.
This does track with my experience writing for CHYOA and dealing with their staff, though. CHYOA's admins and mods are terrible at enforcing their rules with any rationality or fairness. CHYOA's head admin/site owner Friedman and #1 mod Gene.sis shadowbanned me because I refused to accept their claim that three of my characters were underage.
Why did they claim this? See, my characters were all clearly listed as 18+ in age, they were fantasy races in a setting that had things like dwarves, gnomes, and Hobbits, two of them had huge boobs, and they all acted like mature adults with roles in society that would suggest working adults. So why were they underage in the eyes of Friedman and Gene.sis?
They were all under five feet in height.
I'm not kidding.
Despite having a full Fantasy category on their own site, any time I pointed out that people like Aoi Yuuki and Stephanie Sheh were under five feet in height IRL and still considered legal adults, Friedman and Gene.sis would dodge my point. Their claim fit neither the spirit nor the letter of their rules, yet to them, my characters HAD to be underage and they would say anything (including some really gross and creepy things about toddlers with boulder-sized tits) to try and force my square peg into their rules' round hole.
And Friedman is the same guy who:
-Refuses to do anything about a guy who's sexually harassed nearly every user with "female" in their profile on the site because, in his own words, sexual harrassment isn't against the rules... that he wrote.
-Will defend clear trolling story posts with lame excuses like "it's just [insert niche fetish]."
-Has allowed a user to repeatly plagiarize stories both on and off the site and shows no sign of stopping no matter how many times one of his plagiarized stories is deleted.
-Will go to creepy lengths to defend a story called "Jailbait" which is about a legal loli honey trapping sexual predators by going full nymphet on them and intentionally trying to look like a sexy child.
To Friedman as the owner of CHYOA, the rules don't actually matter. He'll rules lawyer anything to try and claim the rules are only what he says they are and if you object too much, he'll shadowban you and edit your stories, comments, and profile to make it look like you willingly left the site all to cover up a scandal he caused.
