Just an update folks...

Since starting this thread I have opened a site at Storiesonline and I have 12 stories there now - stories that you won't find here. I have learned my way around SOL enough to make it do what I want. I will still call this home, I just put my more extreme stories there.

I guess I am kind of the reverse. I am simply continuing from now on at SOL, and probably going to not bother here to be honest.

I was aimed here by another author, so decided to come check it out. But waiting almost a week now for 2 stories to be authorized, I just realize it is not really worth my time to be honest.

I still believe the finest keyboard ever made was the Northgate Omnikey.

Now these are often obscure today, but in the early 1990's, these were the "Cadillac of Keyboards". Steel frame, Alps switches, the computers that company sold were forgettable, but their keyboards were epic.

And they are still highly sought after, and are still easy to find. But even 30 years old, many still work like champs. But expect to pay over $100, even for a 30 year old computer. They are just that good.

But if looking, be very careful. Many will try to pass off other standard Northgate keyboards as "Omnikeys", and at least a dew companies have tried to sell "Omnikeys", but they are nothing like the original. Sadly, mine died in a fire 20 years ago, and I still miss it. And swear I will get another.

Storiesonline.net, as MicheleNylons said, will get you published quickly and has almost no content restrictions, but it can be hard to get feedback at times.

I wrote almost exclusively on SOL, and have for almost 20 years. And I have hit most of those listed in here already, but that is actually my main one.

Primarily, it is great for long stories, a feature that can be a real pain when talking about sites that are geared more towards short single stories. I just decided to poke my head in here and post a few of my stories, but probably only my shorter ones. Having to post a 700k-2.2m story in here one chapter at a time and then linking just seems like a lot of work. But I have tons of shorter stories where that is not a problem.

I also get a lot of feedback on SOL, primarily in the "Notes" that readers leave me. Of course, I am also very interactive with my readers, and on one story alone that has turned into 7 pages of comments on a single story, kind of a mini-forum.

I still post a story on Nifty on occasion, but since I rarely post primarily homosexual content, I have not posted anything there in years.

ASSTR and the Kristen Archive used to be great places. But Kristen retired long ago now (but the archive is up), and ASSTR is barely alive.

Literotica, eroticstories, I bailed from those sites over a decade ago.

I recently decided to try posting stories on xhamster, never doing that again. Tons of morons writing me emails and screaming because I was not posting things they wanted to read, so I wrapped up my experiment posting there and will not return.

Quick question, do you or have you dropped an Easter Egg in your writing? A reference to a previous story, maybe a walk on part from a favourite character. Maybe an inspiration from literature, film or whatever.... (sensitive to copyright, of course).

Just curious....

I actually do things like that all the time. Have a character from one story make a cameo in another, have them cross locations, things like that.

Just recently I actually "Rick Rolled" my readers. The story was set in 1988, and a gal playing a synthesizer turned off a pre-recorded song in the middle, then "Started playing that Rick Astley song that seems to be everywhere on the radio". I chuckle that I might be the only writer of erotic literature that has Rick Rolled his readers, and I am also aware that many will not even realize I did it.

I actually throw things like that in all the time, but in a subtle way so they do not detract from the story itself. But those that catch it will hopefully get a chuckle out of it.
