I am trying to satisfy both authors and readers as nearly as possible. For the readers: That means that I won't post anything that is in an unreadable format, nor anything which I haven't read myself and wouldn't want to. That means that I am trying to keep all files shorter than 30K, the length which gives almost nobody problems. That means that I post story codes in almost all cases. The story codes on the subject line are my own, not necessarily those (if any) that the author used. This gives some degree of consistency, and I try to follow the story code FAQ. That means that I will post relatively few incomplete stories, and only those where I believe that the section stands by itself. These should be labeled "part" on the subject line. For the authors: That means that I won't post any story unless I am fairly well convinced that the author welcomes reposting. Right now, I am sticking with stories which give an author's disclaimer and those stories whose authors I have actually contacted. That means that I try to publish a disclaimer from the author expressing his copyright claim. The _next_ reposter won't have to guess. That means that I keep the author's name and the title that he gave the story close to the body of story. ================== The numbers after the description are from Celestial reviews. The first three are her ratings for the story, the last one is the number of the review where the ratings occurred. The reposts for next week. These are the scheduled posting dates.

If you haven't checked out the Celestial Reviews yet, you should do so. These give a fairly consistent view of some of the new stories (and a few of the old ones) being posted on any given week. Celeste gives a separate mark for grammar and English usage, and she rates stories of most kinks by how well they appeal to people who don't share the kinks. Even if you don't share those particular biases, the reviews are worth checking out for the written descriptions of the stories. The other regular review is Annex Reviews. Lady Cyrrh ignores the vanilla stories, but covers ds and bondage fairly well. She won't review any one author more than once a quarter, and has significantly fewer reviews than Celeste does. (She also reviews web-pages, mostly authors' web pages.) ================== Coming Attractions John Dark -30- -- +--------------' Story submission `-+-' Moderator contact `------------+ | story-submit@qz.little-neck.ny.us | story-admin@qz.little-neck.ny.us |
