Lpsg Stories... Should We Rebuild This Section And Make It Searchable?

[LPSG Support]

@Mr. LPSG whats up with the name change? Just curious.

I think it is a sexier and more appropriate title for this section.

 

[BigBen]

I've always been a big fan of stories. I'm just curious how much demand there would be for this.

Are you guys happy with the way this section is or would you like to see it built out and made fully searchable?

Thank you for asking everyone....I am sure all the respondents appreciate your asking for our opinions and ideas. Now it has been about 100 days or so since you asked....what did you decide to do? Thank you.

 

[HungDudeAbides]

I love the idea of it being made searchable.
Also making at least different sections for straight and gay stories would be great so I stop reading a couple of paragraphs into a story before I realize. Ha

Did not read everything above, but need to have it differentiated between Straight, Bi and gay....PLEASE?

would be practical - yes, it already reveals a part of the story but it saves a lot of time when you are looking for something hot to read - sometimes I give up after 3 or 4 because after reading a few paragraphs they don't cover what I was looking for... and then there are the blogs - I don't consider myself as a good writer so I put my "stories" in one blog but it's always nice to see people read your "efforts" so how do people decide to post a story with erotic stories forum or in a blog? What is the best way for (the few) readers that might like my attempts to find them? Thank you

This thread is fast approaching its second anniversary

Is this ever going to be made reality?

yes, seems we are intitled to know what is going to happen...

Please consider creating separate categories for the erotic stories. At least two categories: one for straight stories and one for queer stories so we can also have the bi ones in there. So many stories start with a man and a woman and at times there is no way of telling how it will develop (especially if the title is vague too).

I'd start reading a story, note the clear tensions introduced early on between two guys and feel disappointed when that part of the story doesn't go anywhere. The story might have been perfectly enjoyable otherwise but not if I'm sat there wondering if I was being queer baited again. I'm OK with the straight bits a lot of the times. I'll even tolerate annoying elements if the rest makes up for it but only if I know what I'm getting into and not when I'm in the mood to read a queer story.

Apologies if this has already been addressed but please consider it as another endorsement for it.

Your categorization won't work. What about masturbation stories? Bisexual? In which category would you place a threesome?

i didnt say those were the only categories, and the categories are not silos, they are like tags, Bisex,Group for example on what you mentioned. a mastrubation tag can be added, interacial, etc

Most authors love to know how their work is perceived. You'd be taking away what they get out of publishing a story on here.

add a voting module at the start, this can work both like a rating system, and give the writers their feedback, altearnatively, once per year, all completed stories posts can be re-aranged with the stories first, in all their parts, and then all the bump, bump, any update? posts

And someone is going to move all these threads from WIP to completed manually at some point? I don't think so. Authors themselves should link their story parts to one another and make sure it's reader-friendly. A framework post & short "how to" as a sticky on top of the stories section could be helpful.

i am not aware on how much work Mr. LPSG wants to commit to this, moving and cleaning up the threads would be ideal, but hyperlinking one part to the other as well as having editable 1st posts to tags can be added as the story evolves could be another one

Fully agree on requiring from now on going forward that a minimum number of tags is required, depending on the story theme(s). I don't think anyone from staff has time to add tags to all the existing stories. It's not something you could automate.

all solutions require time and effort, but there was a poll by Mr. LPSG and it was overwhelmingly showing that the section could benefit from some cleanup. if there is no time and effort available well, then the whole discussion is pointless innit? btw, some of the tasks can be automated like connecting or at least sorting the posts by time and size, the difference in comments and chapters is pretty distinct.

Perhaps throw them in a subfolder "archive", with the mention that authors have 3 months to weed out their own and repost with the correct tags and otherwise, they get deleted?

thats probably gonna nuke 95% of the stories, i dont think most of the authors are still active in the forum.

they wont do shit

Im just scared to death to post anything, anywhere and get judged.
Here or Literotica or anywhere else.
Can I post BDSM?

I think you can post any story, as long as it doesn't contain themes that are illegal or against site rules. BDSM is perfectly legal between consenting adults. You may want to tag your story when posting.

 

[JackHowland]

BDSM is definitely allowed and members like myself would love it.

I accidentally wrote a 150 page gay bdsm novel this past year, and Im so scared to set it free into society

 

[dave1234]

I don’t think there are enough stories to worry about tags etc. but I think it would be great to have sub forums of straight, gay, trans

 

[biff2359]

I don't think there's enough volume of new stories to warrant something overly complicated. Also, I feel the barrier to / work involved in posting a story needs to be lower than a dedicated story site. There are a lot of fun little stories here that one might not see on a "serious" site.

 

[amazzzed2]

I like all three ideas, categories, tags, and searchable.
This section is wonderful, and anything you can do to make it easier to find specific stories or types of stories would be even better!

 

[yearites]

Any kind of organization would be hugely awesome, I joined LPSG for the stories and I have to say going thru each page to find what I’m looking for takes forever i searches 50 pages one time to select three or four stories to read

Agree with the suggestions

I think the idea of splitting it into broad categories like Straight, Gay, Bisexual, Authoritarian, Cuckold, SPH, etc would be great.

Tags would also be great. The way to keep this from getting out of hand would be to limit the number of tags on a story (to say 5).

Also, "title tags" just after the story heading (required) would be helpful: like MF, MM, FF, MFM, FMF; Auth(oritarian); SNM; CBT; etc. Frequently the title doesn't give a good idea of what the story is about. This could be also helped by providing a line of description below the title, such as:

"The Plumber Fixes Mrs. Jones Pipes" (MF, Size, Cuck)
Mrs Jones has an adventure with the plumber's big pipe; Mr. Jones comes home unexpectedly and watches.

"The High School Jock Loses More than the Game" (MM, Size Compare, SPH)
The hunky quarterback is pantsed during a game by his archival.

I've always thought "Fictitious Stories" is dreadful. Why not either just "Fiction" or "Stories"? "Fiction" would be great if you want to limit it to that. However, I prefer just "Stories" because some "real life" stories can be really hot, also. In fact, many "fictitious stories" start with the line, "This is a real story. . . "

Just in passing: Do users know they can already search stories by words in the story or title? I've found this helpful to screen for things I'm interested in.

 

[phonehome]

Agree with batnballs 100%

Also, maybe change the header to just stories? There's no place to post true stories so may as well have it here with a tag for true. Stories always seem just a little hotter when they are (or can be believed to be) true

This just is not true

Almost all of these supposedly true stories can easily fit into 1` or 2 even 3 sub categories that exist now

In 99.9 % a male, the one doing the fucking has a large penis -- Sex with a large penis those stories are supposedly true

The norm is it involves some sort of relationship dynamic -- Relationship s ...

You can often see how they involve or could involve some kind of "womens issues"

 

[yearites]

Maybe make a new vote, maybe do it on Twitter idk!

 

[Hung_exhib_Qc]

I'd approve for search tags. This section kept me here for a while!
