I have one story with over 30,000 views - and it's not an " " story, so I think we agreed that counts double, right? ;)

But it does have the magic word "Schoolgirl" in the title, so that probably helped.

I must admit that (being a bit of an attention whore) I noticed that stories got a lot of reads, and deliberately wrote one just to see if I could get lots too. Of course, it didn't do as well as those of other writers, and a couple of my regular readers commented that it wasn't up to my usual standard. So I learnt a lesson from that - just write what you enjoy, and hopefully others will sense your sincerity and enjoy them too.

But I must admit I do still check my stats...so I'm not totally cured

I enjoyed this collection. Very clever.

EDIT: Why were you reading the Daily Mail?

I'm all for ideas and creativity but I think completely taking it upon yourself to redecorate should be run past the boss a bit before posting it in the forum, maybe its just me, I find it disrespectful. I see the aim and the good, but come on, this is Nicola's brainchild, she's not daft.

I think it's a good idea for the competition links to be more prominent, generally, but I don't like the extra banner, sorry. Incorporate it into the site topmost banner on a slow roll if you needed to, maybe?

Maybe cut the amount of featured members in half, speed up the feature time, and use the rest of the space for site ads? I like the book ads as they are, as it's always the first thing that draws my eyes on the home page. I don't know why. Maybe one eye has a lazy drift and takes the other one there with it.

Bear in mind that you can also PM the verifier who sent the message, if you're still not exactly sure what to do next. The mods are a generally friendly bunch!

Have a friend, who can be objective, read your story over for you.

One of the best tips I ever received was to sit and read your story aloud - Things which may not be immediately obvious will become much much clearer, especially punctuation.

It is worth taking the extra time to do these things and to read the forum threads listed above - your story will do much better once it's published.

We have added the option (via account settings), for everyone to be able to upload their own videos.

This feature is for you to upload your amateur videos (x-rated or otherwise).

Please do not post any content that you do not own the copyright to.

You need to add a title and tags to each, so the videos can be classified. We will be introducing a video gallery later in the year, so it's important the videos are labelled correctly.

Enjoy!

Yeah, I agree with Doll, Jeff, Xuani, and the others who don't think it's a good idea...

I mean, do I really want someone knowing I visited their page 210 times in the last month? I think not...

We've introduced a new feature, whereby anyone can take over my account, and do as you please, for 24 hours.

That means an all access pass. Do as you please.

Someone annoying you? Ban them for 24 hours / 2 weeks / totally.

Those who are interested in being me for a day, please send me a message!

You can read a preview on Amazon. You can skim a book in a bookshop.

Making a poor purchasing decision is your fault. Asking for a refund, is pretty pathetic if you ask me.

I can read a book in a day, the 7 day refund ruling as it stands, is hopeless.

I think you should be a bit more open to male authors. We have some fantastic ones on this site and you're really missing out on some great stories if you rule them out immediately.

To name a few: Buz; Frank_Lee; Jaymal; Milik_the_Red; DLizze; MatthewVett.
