I�m not sure exactly how many premium stories there are, but as you say there must be at least 10, which for $9.99 would work out a lot cheaper than purchasing the stories individually.
Plus new premium stories are being written all the time and you also get access to all the premium pics and videos, of which there are now hundreds.

Well, one, I only want access to stories. I wish there was a cheaper story only thing. I have zero desire to do anything with the rest of the features. And two, the stories aren�t really worth 9.99 if they aren�t finished or never get finished. Those ten stories are pretty much written by around three people, only one of which I really enjoy (your search function is really hard to navigate so it�s hard to tell for sure. There is no �show all��or �show only premium� or �show free only� Option, which should be included in the drop down.) so no, it�s not worth a monthly fee for one unfinished story with no guarantee to be finished story.
You yourself have posted before about how all the stories on here should be free for people to enjoy, so suddenly switching over to a pay model is jarring.
It's not like he's forcing any stories to be premium, he's just allowing the authors to choose. It's really not that jarring, lol. And, though I admit having a way to filter out premium content might be nice, there are arguments to be made the other way as well, such as that they are already labeled, so its not like you read the description, fall in love, open it, and THEN find you have to pay for it. Just skip the ones labeled premium.
