I feel this. I had an account on here for years but that was before the site update and that account is long gone. I see this alot. One of the reasons my husband told me to get on here is to try to get back into the community and find some friends. Plus, I am a romantasy writer and artist. I mostly write girl gaining spice. He thought it would help motivate me and help me feel better and braver. Its kinda made things harder cause the community had changed. This site has alway had lerking but it seems more active then before. The forms used to be poping more. I guess with doom scrolling and thing people don't spend alot of time on commutation forms any more. I feel so old I used to love that back in the day.


Yeah, it seems like not many forums are like they used to be. Online communities seem to be melting into the general, centralised social media s--tshow, sadly.

Still, I hold out hope that the big wheel will turn again and there'll be a renaissance; I don't think many people still actually *enjoy* facebook / twitter these days, its more of a flagellation habit at this point, and I do hope that more people will start to trickle back to the places they used to enjoy. And people in my country are getting a bit less comfortable participating in the big public social networks because of recent political trends, so I hope that might also nudge them back towards the old internet culture of small forums and pseudonymous usernames which we used to enjoy back in the old days.

By the way, I notice you don't have any stories here; do you publish your fiction anywhere online?

I get that, only time will tell. Soc media is all trends. I am wanting to get them self published throught Amazon or another self publishing site. Been working on editing. Some of them are long like 200 to 300 pages. Lol they are books. Once I get them edited cause my past editors bailed on me I will get them up hopefully 2027 so they can be order but will likely put some sneak peaks on here for peolpe to see what they are like.

Oh, cool! I've never managed to push a story anywhere near that length lol. Had a crack at NaNoWriMo like, 14 years ago and failed miserably. I envy your dedication! I look forward to reading some snippets at some point then smiley

Not to mention there are a lot of creeps on here. I can remember on my old account I one time received an unsolicited DM from this Italian dude who was interested in marrying me and would do anything to suck my toes. Wish I screenshotted the message.

There was also this other Greek dude who apparently had a controversial history. And I think he was in the military? He was always arguing with users in regards to sexism and wrote very long essays that made no sense. I don't think he goes on anymore but he used to be very active.

Aw thank you I way need the support. I also trying to slowly ,build up soc media for it. Booktok is full of all these other kinks and open about it. why not some love for ours. There are plus size books that have came across from small authors.They always avoid things by being from publishers. So self publishing I can have belly love in it. It might not sell a millon copies but that not why I write. I write to get out the stories from head and soul. I just have to do it my way and add in some "inflicted" belly love tehee. I KNOW soc won't be as friendly to me as just yhe domance romance books but I still need to go for it.
