Posting Stories
Hi All,
It's great to see so many people posting their own stories. However, to make this forum easier to navigate, I'd like everyone to please start following the guidelines below:
1. Please post links (such as to your personal blog or website) to your stories instead of pasting them into a thread, especially if the content is NSFW (not safe for work).
2. If you have lots of stories to share, please make a "master thread" listing all of your stories in one place instead of starting a new topic each time. The master thread can be updated whenever you have a new story to add. I've seen master threads used on other forums, and they work well to keep the forums organized.
Thank you for your cooperation.

I can do that since I'm sharing lots of stories. My only bummer is I won't know which individual story is getting more views then others but I can see the point for the rule. I'll start a master thread for myself when I post my next story and all my stories will be under that one after that.

Thanks, everyone!
Misfittoy, you might be able to use a stat counter on your site to track which stories are being read the most.

One other suggestion or hint; If the story or a post has too many characters then cut a part off and post that under the first one as a reply.

I thought about that afterwards. It seems more people are reading part two and skipping part one of my latest post, and I think pt one is way more intereting myself.

People have different tastes. Part of good writing is that people are into what your story is about.
