Yo, can you stop making 90% of the stories premium content?

fatchance:
No critique here, it just indicates that this website is moving from a hobby approach to running like a business to turn a profit.


FF has been a business since 2008.

I suppose that means I should pull my stories off since I don't want a paid membership and should not give away what others charge for, but oh well.


Many of our most talented authurs are not bothered about getting paid and upload stories for free just because they love writing and want to give something to the community.

Yo, can you stop making 90% of the stories premium content?

justenjoy:
Sounds like it’s your job to filter them then, not to make excuses. And don’t act like you don’t get a cut from the deal.


Many of the premium story writers also upload free stories as samples of their work. If we filtered out the premium stories and put them in a seperate section then member's would be less tempted to upgrade, thereby reducing their earnings. This would affect the number of premium and free stories being produced.

In the same way that Facebook and other social networks insert ads into your news feed, these should perhaps be seen as a necessary 'evil' since they help keep the site alive.

Of course FF takes a cut which helps us maintain the website and develop new features. Obviously we can't do this without a budget.

Feedback required - validating accounts

We've considered two types of validation so far that might be useful but would love to hear your feedback. These are:

* Verify that users are who they claim to be, to reduce fake profiles. This would work in the same way as it does on many sites, where the members publishes a pic of themselves holding a sign saying 'fantasy feeder'

* Perhaps more controversially - verify that users aren't trying to sell something or asking for money. So long as there's nothing to suggest otherwise in their profile or posts, we'll verify the profile, however if we see or hear otherwise, we'll remove the verification.

Verified members would have a badge shown on their profile and could be searched for. Whilst there's nothing wrong with trying to earn money online, the idea is to try to improve friendships/dating/conversation by highlighting those people genuinely interested in the fetish.

Introducing: new audio books feature

hiccupx:
Thanks for your feedback. Of course you could copy the text into your own speech synthesizer if you wish...

EasternDweller:
Is this implying that you can upload your own audio file?


No, it's just something you could do on your own PC if you wanted to spend the time.

Introducing: new audio books feature

Thanks for your feedback. Of course you could copy the text into your own speech synthesizer if you wish, but we've done it for you - plus it's using the latest and most advanced neural TTS voices on the web. This is just 'click and listen' - easy to do on mobile, so with your headphones in you can listen to the stories anywhere - on the bus, standing in the queue, wherever smiley

Having the author's read their own work would be nice, but too time consuming for us to set up and administer to release as a new feature. This way we can convert the text to speech automatically, every day as the stories are uploaded. I'm hoping in the coming days to get many more stories converted to audio, so keep looking back.

Also remember that this is an addition to the Fantasy upgrade, so you still get all the other features of unlimited pic, video and story viewing.

We've always trying to introduce new ideas and features because we want this to be the greastest feederism website in the universe! We want to continue setting the trend for our community.

Holding the stories section to ransom

A Fantasy subscription gets you 24/7 access to nearly 100 premium stories by 20 authors, all of which are pre-approved by our moderators. They cover all kinds of different themes and characters so there should be plenty of great stories for all tastes.

You also get unlimited access to over 300 premium videos and 400 premium pics by over 40 different web models. All this for just $9.99 per month, with many new items of content being uploaded every day.

Our authors and web models are working tirelessly to help build a neiche hub of content for our commumity and earn their income through commission. So if you want to give back and help support the website at the same time, I'm sure any contributions via the upgrades will be gratefully received.

Premium content

Hi bhnywolk, thanks for your comment. We try carefully to achieve a good balance between the free and paid features.

We need to cover our costs and develop the site, but want to keep the community feel and realise that many people can't afford to upgrade.

The upgrades are helping to pay for improvements across the whole site, and we've recently introduced HD video playback for both free and premium content.

The site has grown considerably which means there's now more free content than ever and we'll continue to develop the free features as an integral part of the website.
