You can click create a thread and either write your story or copy and paste it from a document. Its rather simple, really.

 

I don’t think there’s a cure all for this, except best judgment and I can only speak for myself (keeping in mind this isn’t the site I consistently keep up with), but when it comes to the tags of violence, in my experience, it’s been better to have them and not need them than to leave them off entirely. For instance, there isn’t a CNC or RACK tag, so I’ll resort to a “rape” followed up with “romance” tag and put the word “fantasy” somewhere in the synopsis and hope it gets the point across. I mean technically it’s BDSM still, but it’s a weird area that can make people upset, at least in other places. I might be too cautious, though lol.

“Cruelty”, “extreme”, and “hardcore” trip me up too. If it has something I’ve learned most people aren’t cool with, it’s seemed better to add the “cruelty” tag as a “here’s your warning”. I use my feedback inbox from another source as a gauge to what caliber of people liked it.

“Authoritarian” has always meant, I’ve assumed, government involvement.

That being said, I thought your idea with the “bestiality” thing was really well done. That tag’s base wasn’t what you were going for with that story, but it was cool to see it placed where it was with the title of that story being what it was. It got the message across. Also, you can always place an italicized Author’s Note at the beginning so people can ignore it as they will and suffer the consequences!

Anyway, there’s my thoughts, for what good they may do.

 

Thank you for the information, just learning the site. I hope to be posting stories soon.

Thoughts... yes of course many and more...

I should like to touch on your poor opinion of other people's lack of understanding when it comes to the writing topic of

"BDSM' 'Domination/Submission' 'Authoritarian', but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that other people understand them differently. Then there's 'Coercion', 'Blackmail' and 'Rape'."

You are so correct. You see the crowd that follows these topics are looking for something they can relate to. They need the victim to enjoy it, so that they can justify it, relate to it, understand it.

They do not understand that sadism is forcing someone to do something they normally wouldn't do, and their complete lack of enjoyment is the turn on.

The turn on itself for a sadist is the humiliation, or forced upon act the uncomfortable feeling. The fucking feeling of helplessness.... these are all a sadist's delight.

In fact in the psychological study of sex crimes it was determined that the worst thing a victim could do, was act like they wanted it to happen. As this alone could drive their attacker into a psychopathic and murderous rage, completely rendering them impotent.

Simply put. A sadist takes delight in others not taking delight.

Unfortunately one of the oldest sayings in the history of writing.

"Write what you know," goes unheeded, and many dabble in sadism because it's popular and have no real academic knowledge if the topic.

 

Is there any solution to nit being able to vote logged in? I am wanting to vote negative lol and it won't let me... I can go to random stories and vote positive while logged in, but not negative.

Trying to vote on that grammatical nightmare that's at the top, since nobody has the balls to vote down on it and explain why

 

Or maybe begin a dialog on self improvement and the growth if academia amongst other writers.

Why not foster an environment where people are honest and vote true so that people can grade their work rather than live through some falsehood.

Everyone is afraid of bad scores and has fostered an environment where the lowly thrive, it is time for honest opinions so that people can learn and become greater.

Stand up, break the mold. Be bold, truthful and fair. Speak truth with kindness and always show that you care.

 

Hi! I just found this thread and I think it's pretty cool to get to know a bit more behind the scenes of our writers! I also feel bad about adding to the incestious problem you're making note of here as that's currently my top story. What I was excited about finding this thread as I'm actually looking for critiques on how to better my craft. Lucky me, the my main interest- the actual BDSM side of things and that seems to be the topic at hand. Is there a better way to write for/find those people who are interested in written dynamics with meaning?

 

I feel like a lot of what's happening with the ratings is just an artefact of the system. As long as a story can only be found by people actively clicking into the trans penguin fetish tab, it will only be read by trans penguin fetishists and is hence likely to get upvoted if it's a good example of the genre. The second it hits the top stories, it'll suddenly get a lot of people clicking in and thinking, 'wtf?! trans penguins! *downvote*' The end result is that if you're doing something that doesn't fit easily into a niche you're gonna have issues, not because of any grand conspiracy, but just because of the emergent properties of the site.

For what it's worth, I've got no issue with incest stories, and I quite like a bit of Daddy/Daughter. Some genre has to be the top of the pile, it just sucks that other stuff suffers from the lack of a clever way to ensure good writing catering to every kink gets recognised.

 

Hi, Im a newbie here. Ive been writing for several years and sharing my stories with a handful of beta readers. I'm currently waiting for my first story to publish, it's called Big Woodys. Looking forward to sharing and seeing how my work is recieved by a broader audience.

 

Hi all, just wondering being new here, I sent a story through on saturday night and was wondering how long it takes to be approved (I know it says 48 hours) but was wondering if you get notified if it was rejected for any reason.

Thanks

 

Oh okay thanks, put my heart, soul and body in it so was just wondering. I'll pop on over later and have a ready when I can fully explore the story

 

So, I was over in the Author's Lounge..... I think that's the best and funniest opening of any story this site has ever produced. I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for that one.

 

Hello Authors.

What Happens When a Chapter Does Not Warrent Sex?

When sharing a multi chapter story, how well are chapters with little or no sex generally received? Does this turn readership against an author? In telling a bigger tale, sometimes a breather needs to occur in the sex in order to build and/or move the story along.

Just looking for thoughts, insights, opinions, And experiences.

 

Hey JTrevor,

Some authors add a blurb at the beginning of the story to preset the reader's expectations. If they are only looking for stroke-off material, they can quickly go elsewhere. However, if you were to add the background info to a longer story, I think an author can get away with it, as long as there is enough subtle sexual context to keep the reader aroused until the action starts - and I would definitely include some sex scenes, even if it makes the story longer. I mean, this is an erotic story site. Or maybe break up the details with a couple of flashbacks?

As for what readers like? I've heard goats are very popular.

I like your stories

 

Did you get a reason why your story wasn't published? I just looked over there and I don't see it

 

Trying to figure why my story was refused, reason said underage, there isn't anything in the story that relates to underage, oh sorry I believe I said my daughter was 4yrs old and was asleep, can anyone that has anything to do with the vetting the stories explain this to me

 

I always thought underage was in relation to the sex part, read some of the other stories on here that cut things a lot closer that what I did

 

Hey all - I somehow published a story and failed to list the appropriate themes, so the story shows up nowhere except the main page. How would I set or correct the themes on a story that's already published?

On the My stories page, I see an Edit link for each story. But when I click it, I get a Forbidden error.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks. It's baffling. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I'm logged in. I click My stories. I see both my published stories. On the right are links to view and edit for both of them. View works fine. But if I try to edit either story by clicking Edit, It takes me to a page that reads as follows:

Forbidden
