"solitude quickly erodes the frail stilts that had been propping up Jon's hope."
That's pure poetry. Love it.

I'm surprised Zoey didn't make a wish after Ryder left that he couldn't enter the house uninvited, and that he couldn't touch the stone or make wishes on it, just in case he did witness Zoey making wishes. But, I guess that wouldn't make for as exciting a story.

I must've been hit with the Bubblegum Stone, because I accidentally published this out of order (kind of). I'm going to get rid of the other one and do a bit of rewriting on this storyline. Who knew thinking "what would a bimbo do?" eventually makes you think like one in real life.

PSA never make wishes on a glowing pink stone unless you're ok with having massive boobs and sometimes forgetting what chapter you've written or not.

All should be explained soon

So, how are unchanged people picking up on the changes?

That’s certainly an unique way to do a swap

Creepy... and very bizarre...

I do have it planned out, and I will get round to doing their little roll-back, just want to get the mainline branch finished first now, before I hit another burnout with it.

Curious if we'll visit the Meshidas story.

Don't worry about pace, dear. I also enjoy the things that you are doing with the names. May be a little confusing, but it fits within the story and thw own characters confusion about their new beings and roles. Thanks for writing this.

Quick plug for the FB Discord server, if you have other issues with the site, or suggestions to improve it, or just want to hang out with other authors/readers

Yay for twinning!

Ah brilliant, thanks very much, looks like I’d just copied the wrong link.

The "Change avatar" link on the settings page was old, and has been removed. You want the section on the settings page labeled "New avatar URL". Put an image URL in that textbox and click the "Update avatar URL" button.

Also note that the URL has to be to an actual image, not a page containing an image. Your current URL https://postimg.cc/JszpL3zm will not work, that is a link to a web page containing an image. Try right-clicking (or long-pressing on mobile) and choose something like "Copy image address". The URL should typically end in an image file extension, like .png, .jpg, or .gif

Will Karyn continue to make more selfish wishes? Or did she think she has done enough for now

With the knowledge of what is to come, that throwaway comment about embracing her Slavic heritage puts me in mind of the folklore regarding Egg-born, which refers to a kind of witch, I think.

"her breasts started to climb the alphabet"

😂 OK, that's a good one. I like this phrasing.

Potentially at some point; at the moment she's just relieved they're not questioning her too much, and doesn't have enough context to necessarily immediately realize they're going along with anything she says. Once she starts to become more comfortable as Sarah, she may start to get suspicious.

Will Jon ever find out how much power she holds over Sarah’s olds friends? Like would she ever get suspicious of the squad’s behavior

I hope you would take another go with this branch since your writing has improved. It’s been one of my favorite branches.

Zelo my thoughts are, what would I do with it in this situation. There is also nothing by this point that suggests too strongly Sarah is a bad person, just that she is spoiled. The problem is that all the parallel stories have her turn extraordinarily evil and I guess that became the prevalent idea.

My intent was actually this would be a generic hub that others might write from since no one likes my actual stories. Should I take off the thing at the end where she orders Jon to state his fantasy so it’s not constrained for him to go first?

Feels a bit too much like an [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AuthorFilibuster] at times, but otherwise it's... fine, I suppose. Definitely nice to see a person - especially Sarah - NOT go too crazy with their newfound wishgranting powers. We shall see if that sticks or not.

I see this going in a lot of very fun and interesting ways.

Interesting. I hope that you continue this story

Poor Allison. 🙁

First, I want you to know I LOVE this story, it's one of my favorites on here. I've lost count of the number of times I've read all the parts. I hope it gets continued.
Second, this episode reminds me of geeky dorky me back in high school. I had a severe crush on a gorgeous cheerleader. It took me two months to work up the nerve to ask her out, and when I finally did she responded by politely and quietly saying, "I can't." She didn't laugh, she didn't slam the phone down, and to the best of my knowledge, she never spread it around school. If you have to be turned down by someone, that seems the nicest way possible. Thank you for your Beautiful Writing!

Ok, that was weird. I normally use a Firefox-based browser here. For a change I tried a Chromium-based browser, and things look better - but it was weird. When I first loaded a page, it looked the same as in the FF browser, but after a very short - but easily noticeable - bit of time the browser re-rendered the page with the correct blank lines. Weird.

Thanks for the suggestions, but no luck. Javascript is enabled and clearing the fictionbranches.net cookies had no effect.

Why $50s?

"One thing is for certain. Shopping looks way more fun when edited down to just a character pulling back a curtain over and over wearing different outfits getting their friends reactions, played along with a song like "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne or something like that."
😂

@t_thxthx do you happen to have JavaScript disabled in your browser? If so, you will need to either enable it or clear your cookies.

It does paragraphs for me, in your post the blank line is there... Do you have user css set up or something like that? An extension in your browser maybe?

To wit, my post was composed with and should have had a blank line between the two sentences...

@Ms-Scarlett-Raven 🫶🏻, I’m hoping you didn’t miss addressed to you via comments to your story #5407718 my message 🙏.

Will this be your only branch featuring a polyamorous relationship?

Mostly, with a decent amount of Roger as the new Madeline and a few check-ins with the celebs living as the Gibsons and Karyn. Since those two are the only two being switched into stars with a preexisting relationship, you can imagine they'll be spending more time together than the other three.

@Ms-Scarlett-Raven awesome 🫶🏻, I’m hoping you will also pay your attention after this story final publishing at least to those branches (at least one or better few of them):
● #5061998 and/or #240848 and/or #71237;
● #4339264 and/or #4733656 and/or #43460 and/or #43457 and/or #43449;
● #7823;
● #18782;
● #413060.

Will Jon and Karyn be the main focus of this branch?

I have some posts on other branches have a look at my profile. As for this story I am not finished yet. :)

Love your writing I wonder if you're also going to do another branch thanks!

The circle only works while they're inside, but Athena's going to try and figure out something portable they can take with them. It means they'll remember the original Zelda and how things were before any other changes Esme makes this particular night, but they'll still be vulnerable when they go back to school the next day.

So does the protection only work while they are in the circle? Or does the circle give them some temporary protection even after they leave it?

He shouldn’t know who she is though. When they wished that she was a couch that should’ve changed history and erased everyone’s memories of ever having met her, including Jon.

That's a big theme of this branch, that Stephanie, now Esme, becomes corrupted by the power she has. Going from powerless to all powerful has given her a serious head trip. She doesn't think things through, she projects her own desires on to others, she's petty, and she's getting increasingly addicted to the power in her hand.

@Gooose I’d say Delinquent for Sarah or maybe even an ex student council president who has been pushed out in favor of Sayaka which would make Sayaka her rival. I’d still say Karyn be a gyaru would a good choice

I agree with Christine L's comment in The McMillan Triplets: Acquisitions chapter:

"People in positions of power tend not to even notice the little people who get crushed by their actions, let alone care."

And just like Richard McMillan in that chapter, Esme is a perfect example of this.

Thanks ZamZam, appreciate the feedback. As to Discord, not so much. Just want to play here for the time being. No plans to post anywhere else.

So you have already chosen who Jon becomes?
