This might be a real newbie question but navigating this site has been difficult for me. Is there a way to find stories that are complete? Without dead links? I realize that the point of this site is to build on each other's stories but I'd love to read a story without getting anxious that the wrong choice will bring it to an abrupt halt.

Sadly not. There used to be a column that listed the number of "open ends", and if that was zero then the story was complete. But that column has been removed.

Our admin is MIA. He's also a bit on the megalomaniac side, so try as some of us have to convince him to give some admin rights to other users, he steadfastly refuses. Most of us think that he spends the majority of his time nose-deep in a big blue bong. His retort is that none of us pays a cent for the site, so we should be grateful for what we have, which is true to an extent I suppose...

Off the top of my head,

Final Quest by Cat2000
Black Citadel by Funky Mango
Visual Epic by Morathi
Ducky Park and Reunion by DEP
Blind Date and the Paradox Factor by Lucid
All stories by Usoki(except Teatime Of Infinity)
All stories by me (except Legend though some paths are finished)

Those are all the ones that are completely finished that I'm pretty certain of.

There's some others, but it's sort of hard to find them.

You could try to do a search by "Loose Ends" in decending order, but that's not really reliable. The feature DEP spoke of was a lot better.

Don't forget Crack Attack.

Crack. Crack. Gotta have crack. Crack.

Is Crack Attack complete? It's been awhile since I looked at it.

Hall of Infinite Doors has a lot of completed branches, and is so ridiculously long you may not reach the end without cheating.

Yeah, but I don't know why you bother saying that, Apoth. Even the cheap paths in HOID aren't clearly marked. Cheating would take more effort, because you'd have to manually try each room.

And, personally, the only story of mine worth reading is Rentyre. Just because they're complete doesn't mean they're any good.

If you're interested in trying to help complete a story; why don't you pick a character from Arena and message me with who you picked and what action you wanted to take.

Thanks DEP - it still feels strange to add to somebody elses writing though. I'd like to give it a shot - I'll read through it in the next day or so and PM you.

Awww! I almost feel like a member of a big loving incestual family! Incestual because me and DEP's mom are pretty busy...

Don't feel strange about it. A lot of people are sleeping with my mom.

Oh, and as far as feeling wierd adding to someone else's writing; that's the beauty of Arena. You don't write a thing, you just take control of the character and make decisions for him/her.

I had a go at Mrs. Poop once. She was pretty good, definitely worth the price of admission. Poop got back at me by eating out my grandma. He never told me how that went.

In other words, welcome to our cuddly incestuous gang of goons.

But as Ben Franklin once said, "Once a traitor, always a wiener."

We have our EYES on you, March! We're watching your every fucking move.

She tasted like the great depression.

What's so special about March 5, 2000? And I know all about the castle beyond the goblin city.

Chubby - The world was supposed to end on May 5th, 2000. Some stupid planetary alignment that one of my friends was taking very seriously. I was mocking him but thought he had said march 5th 2000. Since then, it's kind of stuck with me over at CYS (as an admin, I can't exactly change it...)

Vesnic: what? I know the real reason you got your eyes on me you dirty girl.

DEP: ha! ahhh classic.

She tasted like the great depression.

With a hint of vinegar.












Edit: Oh, and we are tied for post count right now DEP... just felt like mentioning that.

I was just bragging about how cool my character is.

I figure I'll get an update whenever you're ready.

Yeah, whenever that will be. I've been so uninspired lately.
