I've asked the developers to put this on the wishlist. As mentioned, a CSV or similar one-row-per-story export isn't difficult, it's just whether there are other things that take precedence when we get some more dev allocation.

One in and one out of jeans...

A couple more. Not sure how long these will be online for.

Since my latest First Time escapade seems to be attracting some good feedback, especially about the dialogue and humour sprinkled throughout, I am embarking on a follow-up in the same vein. No timescales on that though, as I'm stupendously busy.

I'm also working with the incredibly talented KimmiBeGood on a possible Gay Male adaptation of a fabulous story she wrote.

An ode to yoga pants.

I edit the fuck out of it before I submit, to the point where I usually don't love it anymore.

This is me too. I end up questioning if it's even erotic any more because I'm so tired of reading it and changing a word order here or there, or removing this, or rewording that. Typos still get through somehow, so I tend to give them a once-over after hitting Publish so I can fix anything pronto before a mod gets to it.

When I'm close to 'finished" and my objectivity has taken a beating, I invariably go through this period of self-doubt where I hate the story so much that I don't press Publish.

I usually then leave it a few days, come back to it and edit the fuck out of it again until that nagging doubt is stomped out. Then submit.

I do tend to reread my stories occasionally. If I'm doing continuations, it's imperative to get my head back into the voice and tone of the characters, and to refresh the ol' memory. But mostly, for newer works, it's to check I'm not recycling ideas by mistake.

Boots you say? I love boots.

A fantastic achievement for a prolific and consistently high quality writer. Congratulations on this immense milestone, good sir.

Visit your profile page and tap the Edit Profile button, just beneath your username / location.

This link should take you straight there.

Yes, it may take a little while for newer stories to bubble up and replace what's there, so please keep an eye on it and if it still feels wonky, then raise an issue. Thank you.

I'm reliably informed that the trending calculation has been tweaked. See how it fares now, please.

As long as consent is maintained and it's not gratuitous drug (ab)usage you should be fine.

I effectively have to pay to get my stories published?

No. You can elect to pay if you are impatient or would like to take advantage of the other perks that membership affords (more messages, greater storage, access to member forums and chatrooms, etc).

We are reading, processing, discussing and offering advice to authors of the deluge of stories - several hundred a week - as fast as we can.

P.S. your story is also around 10,000 words and, from a casual skim read, could easily be half that with some judicial editing, without losing any of the plot points, and providing greater story momentum. A moderator has to set aside well over half an hour to read it, as will potential readers. Consult What story length do you prefer to read for some insight into the reader preferences here, as it may shape your future submissions.

Has the site encouted AI narration in Audio stories?

We have authors who routinely submit audiio narrated by a machine. It's about as sexy as asking your sat-nav to recite a shopping list, but each to their own I guess.

Not a one-piece, but dayum.

There’s something brazenly sexual about a thong one-piece swimsuit

You'll probably enjoy these then 😁

the site should treat that with the same direct responce one gets from other flagrant violations of the submission guidelines. Warning, suspension and ban

If we could prove it, that would be something I'd love to implement. But:

• AI tools can clone a writing style in seconds, even if the story isn't all that engaging.

• Authors can generate a boilerplate via AI and then edit it. At that point, how much is their work vs the machine's work, given they instructed the machine to write a story based on a premise the author dreamed up, and then put their own spin on it?

• We ask authors to use things like Grammarly to flag/correct obvious grammar snafus. But those tools now say: "hey, while I'm here, this sentence might sound better like this... want me to change it for you?" and bases its suggestion on content stolen/plagiarized from others. So even if the author wrote it from scratch, AI is assisting them to make it better... and we asked them to do it (sort of) to keep the site quality up.

With all the above shades of usage, it's difficult to prove one way or another how much input a machine has had, so we're stuck with it at present.

All we can do is encourage authors to use their brains to have a go at writing, keep their synapse plasticity ticking into old age, and enjoy the process of bringing something to life instead of taking a shortcut

In honour of my latest sexy nun story...

Has there been any progress on using software (AI) to weed out AI-generated stories?

No, and there never will be. Why would a machine rat on a machine?

This thread is veering way off topic and It's been said elsewhere. I've fed my stories to AI checkers and they've said they're machine-generated. They're not. I've fed wholly-generated AI stories to AI checkers and they reported they're human written. And I've fed them other AI stories and they've reported they're AI-generated, and by the way, would I like the checker to make it sound more human for me?

All they do is slurp up what is given to "check" and add it to the pool of crap they regurgitate.

So, no.
