I’m working on a story and really want to add a skip scene option as it is a bit triggering, but I can’t figure out how to! I tried my best, which only resulted in me temporarily turning my story into a hot ass mess. I saw someone suggested to use a “skip episode” like choice, but I couldn’t fix it at all… I’m so down about it because I don’t want one of my potential readers to be forced to read the scene if they do not want to. I feel like a simple trigger warning does not suffice at all. Can someone please help me? I’ll give credit wherever you want me to, I just want to solve this but my little pea brain can’t figure it out, as I am new to writing on the portal!

Would you like to skip chapter ?
choice “Yes” {
goto end
} “No” {
goto story
}
Label story
#HERE GOES THE STORY
Label end
Just change some names and voila
I tried something like this before and I messed it up… 
So you know how it says label end? Is that where I would put the entire story without the scene?

Actaully easier is to put scene inside no choice ,as I now realise.
And basically yeah

Do I paste the entire story with/without the scene on both labels? :o also, thank you!!!<3
NARR
Do you want to read this scene?
Choice
“Yes” {
Goto read_scene
so you have to put the label at the beginning of the scene
} “No” {
Goto continue_story
so this label will go at the beginning of the next scene that way it will take them right to the next one
}
Not the entire story!!!
Just the scene 
Make sure you have labels then. At the end of the story, BEFORE the end actually happens, write “label end_story.” (I mean you can name it something else like “label end” or “label chapter end,” etc.)
You could just put the entire scene into a choice.

Would you like to skip this scene?
choice “Read Scene” {
#scene goes here
}
“Skip Scene” {
}
#story continues here
Do I include the scene and the rest of the story that comes after, or just the scene itself? I’m not so great with choices unfortunately. I’m just starting out. :c
You put the scene inside the first choice.
Just the scene. You put the rest of the story outside the brackets.
