Marking stories as favorites is another form of feedback that I hadn't though of. That would give authors views, ratings, comments and number of favorites as feedback on their stories. It would also be useful for readers who may want to follow stories as more chapters are added or find the story again in the future.

I'm in the process of re-writing the stories section as part of the new website development. I'm currently focusing on the 'My Stories' page, which at the moment lists your stories and enables you to sort them by most comments, most views, best rated etc.
I'm just wondering whether this is a useful feature that I should include in the new website or not.

I guess my wider question is, why do you publish your stories here and what kind of feedback is important to you? What would you like to see in the new website?

Someone pointed out to us recently that C00kie's profile was taken from this website and placed on a dating website called casuals.co.uk without her permission.

We know that it came from this website and not say her Facebook profile because the avatar they copied was only posted here.

Naturally she was quite upset by this and we've asked them to remove it, however the profile was copied in such detail that it made me wonder whether this was an individual person posing has her, or whether it was done by the website owners themselves. It's not inconceivable that a start-up dating website might 'data scrape' a website like this to boost their profile numbers by making a load of fake profiles.

I'd be very interested to know if anyone else has had their profile copied. The link is: casuals.co.uk/

Laughably I've had a reply from a message I sent to her profile on this website, it's not from C00kie herself so who's it from? I'm not going to sign-up to their payment plan to find out!
