Two love interests, Coding question

[Belo1]

Hi!
If I let the readers choose if they want a male or a female love interest, I have to script the episode two times one with the male and the other with the women right? And when the readers have to make a decision that will be remembered I have to label it differently right?
What I mean is is there a way to not have to code the episode two times that I don’t know of?
Thanks and sorry if I didn’t explain myself well

Yes, you’re correct! You will have to do it twice, or scene by scene if the LI isn’t in every single scene. I have a very detailed answer about gender branching that might help you:

What is the easiest way to write a pick a gender story?

It’s not nearly as hard as it looks. I have two gender customizable LIs, and readers can choose to be straight (two male LIs), gay (two female LIs), or bisexual (one male LI and one female LI), so that works out to three branches. I write all my dialogue first, and any time I use pronouns for either LI I write it as -he/she-. I also use gender neutral names, so I don’t have to go through and change these. When I’m ready to code, I code the straight branch first since the male LIs are physically…
