3. why pg? the story section is not. for crikes sake we just had our first necrophilia story. this is an adult group and, from the relative rankings evident, the more "adult" the story is the more readership it has. it should be no holds barred, anything goes.

times are fine, but make it a monthly event. even with 4 opportunities people are going to miss it as life often interferes.

also promote it to the correct audience...you're going to have a more productive session and be better able to control each discussion if you limit attendance to those people who are most interested in the subject. i.e. the writers actually exploring the fetish.

the moderator(s) of this forum and/or whoever is behind the curtain in the story section should have easy access to all the writers that have submitted stories here good or bad. i would suggest privately pming those people only and informing them of the sessions. do NOT promote it in open forum.

it's going to be a little work but that's why you get paid the big bucks, right?

also, should you want to further increase the quality of participation of the sessions, invite those who have submitted more than one or two stories (or three or whatever).

as the sessions grow larger (no pun intended) you could eventually have one for each genre...fantasy (magic/scifi), bbw, bhm, immobile, homosexual, etc.

i see the star ratings as personal, non constructive opinions. what counts are the comments...it's of far more value when people take the time to write out a constructive criticism negative or positive. anyway, who cares if "poor" is gone, "average" is sting enough imo,

a more important concern for all writers here is the lack of a mechanism to pop a story to the top if it has chapters added. more people i'm sure have been turned off contributing their hard work by that work left buried in the depths of the archives.

anybody here have the ear of hiccupx?

as long as i'm whining, my last complaint is a long shot request...create a decent, simple story search function available to non gold members. maybe not keyword searchable, but at least searchable by subject bbw vs bhm and author name.

lastly a suggestion: how about points toward an "honorary" gold membership based on story contributions? i can see the story section blossom here, in participation and readership, with even more ad impressions generated.

i'm still interested

as long as it somehow structured and doesn't turn into a free for all

i.e. moderated, people taking turns, etc.

maybe juicy has some ideas, she's a (deliciously) big wheel here ;-)

i'm interested...pick a date and time
