Once again my apologies if this is already mentioned but, more mobile based site. Mobile is the future and right now i'm on a driod and have a difficult time reading stories. I have to scroll around all the stuff to the left and right and all the drop downs in the main navigation are a mobile no-no.
Once again, all with respect to the fantastic job you are doing.
I think you do a fantastic job of maintaining a free website dedicated to erotic writing (aka porn). However, just like our writing there is always room for improvement and I haven't read through all the posts here so please forgive me if there is something repeating.
In regards to authors and writing:
1. Have a more extensive way to review and rate stories. What I mean is that currently there are stars but among the authors I've spoken to this is often not even regarded as accurate. We all know that an story, for example, will get 4 to 50 times the rating that an extremely well written and extremely erotic story will get. It seems if there was a way to have reviewers of stories that are both "professional" and then "user reviews" like movies.
Also have different ways for people to review a story. So maybe there is a basic option like you have now but also an advanced option where you can rate the story, the character development, the erotic hotness, the author's use of plot, etc. That way when you filtering stories, it makes it easier to find certain stories...like those with a good plot and also ratings start to have more meaning to an author and help them improve their writing ability.
2. Have a way for people to list "favorites" of stories. That way, if I trust another person's tastes, it makes it easier for me to find other stories that I may like and that way I can weed through the millions of stories that are probably not my cup of tea.
For the site:
Have groups that users can join with their own message board. There is another adult website that does this and I've found it extremely well done and useful. It allows you to share posts and images about topics related to that group. So a group could be writers of stories with plots and character development. Then we could pick out stories that we think have plots and character development and share them. This would help some stories that are well written have a longer shelf life and keep them from getting completely buried under all the stories.
One last thing would be adding more functionality to following people and authors. So for example, if I'm following 10 authors, when they post new stories I would get a little list on my account page that would show me all the latest stories they've written. So in effect allowing me to create my own personal Lush homepage of stories. Also, I could go to their own favs page and see the list of authors they are following and start to make even more connections. This would allow for serious and strong writers to start to connect more easily and allow for more serious writing to shine above...yes...the stories.
Just had to get one last stab in there about the stories.
But honestly, for a free site. Amazing. Nothing else like it on the web.
Love it. Lush it.
...individually wrapped mints or individually wrapped anything. She wasn't afraid anymore, they were finally alone. All the years of waiting and now they were alone together. Her breathing became shallow. Her mind raced. He was about to kiss her when he took out THAT and put it over his...
Great, I'm happy to do the same for you or anyone who just wants another opinion. Looking forward to getting some feedback, even if it's not all good. I just want to improve as a writer so any help is great. Thanks!
Happy 4th Everyone! Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day for everyone on the East coast. Anyone out my way just drop on by. :-)
Can we collide with the Goddess and not the planet? Better yet, can we watch while the God Mars and the Goddess Venus collide and then roll around and collide some more? See, life is so much better with a dirty mind.
'cause we are like dogs, plain and simple. Give a dog a toy and they love it, chase it, chew it, run around with it in their mouths and sleep with it for sometimes a day, sometimes even two... but then they find a new toy and BAM! they are gone. The old toy forgotten. I think the secret is ya gotta get the dog to love the toy, it has to become their reward for a long hard day of work, it has to become their comfort, their security and their best friend. That takes a lot of work, not just holding it in front of their faces and sayin', "Oh, don't you love it, don't you love it, yes you do, you love this toy, yes you do, love it, love it because it's beautiful and you should." Do that and the dog sniffs it, pees on a bush and walks off sayin' "Yep, I was here and now I see something over there that I need to chase."
Ok, now don't hate the playa', hate da game.
Cause let's be fair, women are like cats. They want to be loved, petted, fed, taken care of, and then left alone. They want to rule the house and they want to have you bring them fine things and dote on them constantly. A cat will play with a toy obsessively for hours but when they loose interest they expect you to know EXACTLY what toy they want to play with next. Cats also will jump in your lap, want to roll around and purr and do what I call "makin' biscuits" on your chest and then suddenly they scratch you for apparently no good damn reason and you are just supposed to know why. You can't just expect a cat to love you, you have to get to know the cat, learn the cat, know what the cat is thinking because she'll never, ever tell ya. If you don't the cat will run away in the middle of the night and never give you a reason why and one day you'll see them with a new owner and they'll look at you like, "SEE! This owner actually LOVES me." and flick their sexy little tail and walk away.
This whole thing is a game. Play it at your own risk. Best thing is, sometimes you find someone that just knows you and you know them. You get to that level of comfort and then the dog never wants to leave that chew toy and the cat sleeps tucked in between the dogs legs every night and purrs like a kitten. When you find that you better just hold on tight because it don't happen often.
Much love to ya, I wish everyone still searching for someone the best. It's a jungle out there, plenty of prey animals and plenty of sheep.
They aren't fat, they are pleasantly plump.
Hey, I'll be the first to admit I love Taco Bell.
thank you, thank you, thank you....love those pale little pink nipples. Oh yeah, did I say thank you?
Holy fuckin' hell! I never knew...dear Christ almighty...I think I was just saved! Praise the Lord and pass the Vaseline I'm watchin' that video again!
actually I would have to say this is generally true. I was in Europe for a while and I can tell you that the asses are considerably smaller, I got so used to it after a while that I forgot that it was even possible to get as large as some Americans...then I came back home and instantly as soon as I entered the airport terminal...fat asses everywhere!
I'm not sayin' I don't love the US of A but yeah...that shit is true.
Nice one Rocco, where are the women that are "hooked on clitoral stimulation"...I'm hangin' out at the wrong places. How long did she have to practice to get that many words to rhyme?
only if they dress cool, wear big hats and sail around in cool ships, the new pirates are just lame.
Right on Nicola, I totally understand that and what a story sit it is! Great work pulling this thing together and updating it so that it's become more social. So I may try this later anyway, but you can link to pretty much any video URL or it's set up to work only with YouTube? Anyway, I just have a couple of pretty cool animations I did from back in the day that are actually pretty clean, just deal with B&D...lick my boots and a little spanking. It was used by Penthouse and Skin Two at one time but now it just sits in the vaults so I thought "what tha hell".
So can you only post YouTube videos? I've done some work in flash that I could probably save out as a video but I don't think it would ever make it onto YouTube. Oh no...not Youtube.
That's extremely disturbing and yet somehow I find myself staring like I've just seen a car accident. WTH? I don't even want to know what would happen if you tried to have sex with her. Probably get beat to death with those tits...what are those made of?
I'm sorry, I don't know who to ask. I've tried to post a story two times now but it doesn't show on the page, only in my profile and I'm afraid I'm not popular enough to get anyone to care if it's just in my profile. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
