The other day I went off about AI writing stories quite poorly and the people who inflict them on SOL.
I conducted an experiment by using the AI default settings and asked it to write a story about going to the store to buy soup, forgetting it and buying something else, paying and going home.
It wrote this grandiose tale and said things like the entire store was cheering Mark for buying beer, and that his grandchildren would re-tell this tale for generations of the day he bought soup. It was so over the top that it was funny (to me,anyway).
Nine to ten people took the time to write to me to tell me they agreed and that was really cool. One person wrote to me to tell me he loved the story and even made his own version of it, which proves that there is something for everyone and no one size fits all.
It was shit to me, it was a treasure to him. If I see an obvious AI written story, I'll do what I do with any story that I don't like and ignore it.
I didn't start today's blog to talk about that, though. I just wanted to offer a little update first.
If you read my stories, you know that I enjoy using AI to craft images for my stories of persistent characters. I don't go overboard (IMHO). I enjoy the creative process and I do a lot more than just type a prompt and that is it.
I use paint.net, upscaling, inpainting, and go through some processes to caption them appropriately. They are unique to SOL. I post them here. I don't get them off the web.
I only recently learned to do this, so my older stories that are illustrated will be regular pictures if I used them at all.
I've had people complain that they don't like pictures (for whatever reason) and to them, I say I am sorry. I genuinely am, and I understand it may be frustrating. You have legitimate reasons for not wanting the pictures, and I am not trying to be a dick.
I just enjoy enhancing my stories, like an author that has cover art on a book, or Tolkien and his maps, to me - the goal is not to use the picture to tell the story, but to tell the story and enhance it with a visual.
I've provided some instructions in another blog on how I go about the basic steps to make AI pictures.
It's really not that hard to do the basics. There are tons of sites out there, but most don't allow NSFW (Nude) images. A few allow it in special conditions.
You can also install something on your computer and make them yourself, but I don't know how to do that and don't trust it. I prefer to go to a website, and use their Lora and Models to make the basics, and then upscale and use paint.net to enhance until it looks the way I want.
However, today I made something I am SO proud of that I had to show it off.
https://storiesonline.net/n/33623/nis-breeder-program/72
If you scroll down close the bottom, you'll see that I have TWO of the persistent characters from the story.
You may say to yourself "So what? just tell the AI to put the two nude women in a classroom."
You may also say to yourself, "This is not my beautiful house, and this is not my beautiful wife," and then you'd be letting the days go by (Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down)
Now that song is stuck in your head, sorry.
Anyway, I have never found a way to get the AI to reliably put two persistent characters in a picture.
You can make two characters easily, but if you are telling a long story and you want the pictures to look like the same people from picture to picture it is not so easy.
I use something called a "Lora" that is a bunch of samples of something. in that case, a particular person's look from many angles. If I use two Lora of two different people, and tell the AI to give me (Melissa Rauch) and (Kaley Cuoco) giving each other a dirty Sanchez, I usually get a Frankenstein picture that combines both women's features in the two subjects and a clean Rodriguez because the AI is yet to understand the nuance of a Dirty Sanchez and it gives me something fucked up.
So what I did was make each character individually with no background at all. Then I knitted them together on a much bigger image and using the power of AI to imagine a background (trying many times) I was able to get something approaching what looks like the two women together.
In this case, they are squatting naked in a classroom in the Naked in School universe. The AI initially populated every student in the background with an identical doppleganger of the same student, which was freaky.
So, I had to keep working at it, manually adding, using perspective and blur, and reworking it, until I was happy that the character "Tiffany" was nude, looking bored off to the right in a chair, and then the the other students appear to be at the right scale.
The coolest part is that the AI made it so the daughter is leaning against the lower thigh of the mother, and they are actually touching.
It's not photo realistic where it's going to fool anyone into thinking this is "real" but it was so fucking close that i think the limitation is my skill and not the technology.
There are a lot of settings you have to fuck with, and you need credits (to make more tries) and the patience to alter them and experiment with inpainting and such.
The AI I use to touch up also hates really pretty, bald pussies. It likes to give women thin pussies with a lot of hair.
I had to re-touch the pussies (which sounds pretty hot if you think about it) remove the hair, and I even added a little strand of pussy-goo dangling off the mom, that she can't wipe off because she has to keep her hands behind her head.
Imagine sitting in a room with a bunch of clothed people, and you have a strand of snotty pussy-goo hanging off your bright red gaping, pussy and you have to squat for an hour while everyone watches it slowly descend like a dribble of snot that you won't wipe off your nose.
I can't teach you how to do pictures like this because I am still figuring it out myself, but I thought I would celebrate my accomplishment.
The accomplishment and 1 dollar, is worth about 85 cents, and I get that - but for me, it was really fun to make.
Expect to see a few more of those in the future (probably not ALL the time, it's time consuming).
It's been a long road with NIS: Breeder and thank you to the readers that came along for the ride. I've improved tremendously as a story writer, and in creating AI photos to enhance my stories.
There was a recent picture of Piggy with a butt plug that I admired in a second window for hours as I wrote. The look on her face as she stands in a restaurant with it sticking out of her ass reminds me of a nudist resort I went to where MILF women walked around with piercings and butt plugs like they were mundane fashion accessories and to them - it's not shocking - that's what I captured on her face.
It was quite a while ago I began this story. As I normally (and always should do) I wrote the entire thing and then started slowly polishing and editing a chapter at a time. That was back around April and in May I began posting.
https://storiesonline.net/n/33623/nis-breeder-program/1
I had such a good time writing it. I spent a long time just on the orientation day because I really wanted to explore that first day feeling and world build. I had people complain that it took too long to get started. I had some say they don't like pictures, I had some complain that I put a complete list of NIS rules for the Breeder program in chapter three etc.
You can't make everyone happy.I wanted the rules because they created a framework. I like making the pictures almost as much I like writing, and I try to write the character in the image. I did what I did and maybe there would have been just as many if not more who complained if i didn't do those things, or complained about something else.
The important part is that the story seemed worth a shit enough that someone felt like having an opinion about it at all.
I was told "This is not NIS" because I didn't follow the standard tropes. I also do not give a fuck about that. I wrote my own version, and folded in several concepts and storylines as I went.
If you have read the story, this may not be much of a spoiler but if you haven't here is the big spoiler so skip down.
****SPOILER ALERT*****
Piggy has been mixing her protein shake incorrectly and has a high content of the chemicals designed to induce submissive feelings/estrogen/pregnancy and lactation. It was supposed to be mild, but she's concentrated it. Piggy is not under mind control, but she has convinced herself that she cannot disobey orders. I've shown time and time again that she can/has disobeyed or questioned orders.
https://storiesonline.net/s/26772/morale-officer-not-moral-officer
What I wanted to do in this story is offer an homage to a story called "Morale Officer not Moral Officer" by a friend of mine, that explores what happens when a woman happily decides to become a submissive and her family supports it. It's just a 10 chapter story. I wanted to really prolong and make that feel plausible, but I relied upon the protein shake to also satisfy the concept that she had truly evolved her thinking toward going well beyond a standard submissive role into more of a human pet/filthy slut.
All the while, I wanted to explore her daughter's journey to try new things, be open to new experiences and define her limits less by what she does/doesnt like and more on what she can/cannot do physically or mentally.
I wanted to tell other stories, so I often allude to a rich cast of characters, and Piggy's sons experiences, specifically Dewey's relationship with a chubby girl that puts him on an emotional rollercoaster and lets him watch her making out with other boys.
*********END SPOILER******
So, about chapter 68, I realized that I've gone a very short period, and I have so many more things to say and do with this story.
There are nearly 500,000 words at this point and the story isn't over. That word count is up there with War and Peace, The Stand, The Lord of the Rings TRILOGY.
I had one more important subplot, which you'll see emerge toward the end and now we have six chapters remaining. Keep in mind, I've gone as long as 24 typically pages for a chapter, but typically, I kept it around 14-15 pages for this. Some 9 chapter stories by other authors would be around the same total length of one of my chapters. Just know that while that isn't a LOT of space, I span this final arc and the birth and leave the story with a good idea of where the characters are.
I am actually looking forward to getting it all published soon. I may try to post two stories a day to just get it done.
However, I wanted to throw it out there that if you've enjoyed the story, not only can you pick it up from where it ends, or anywhere in between - there were many other character's stories who should be told.
Tiffany and her mother, Crabby and her daughter, Thelma and her Brother? Astrid and Ingrid? Jim and Laura (you'll see), all sorts of possible stories that could be spun off. Tales from Miss Collins as the NIS administrator in short story form.
Please, by all means - go for it!!
Mary Christmas: When I initially wrote this, I wanted a cool Christmas story and I wanted to post it before Christmas. I made the decision to put some of the other stories I've been working on temporary hold so I can do that.
The initial chapters (despite tons of foreshadow that this IS A Christmas story) received negative feedback, which was mind blowing. It was like all the people sending me email had never heard of the concept of the scheming brother that blackmails or gets his sisters in trouble. There are probably thousands of such stories.
I assured everyone that I don't write broken home stories or stories where nobody has Christmas. I cited literally every Hallmark Christmas story that has ever been made, that it usually starts off in a bad spot and improves. That's what makes it a Christmas story.
The bad dad who ignores his kids WILL have some crises at the airport or whatever that teaches him the true value of family, and in the end, he'll blow the Anderson account on purpose and be throwing snowballs with his wife and loving family.
Frustrated, I rewrote the early chapters to reinforce that "This is the best worst thing that ever happened to me because..it brought our family closer together an unexpected way".
For those who may have already a few chapters and didn't get that impression, I'd encourage you to check it out. I re-did the ending, and right now there are 19 chapters, should be about 24 by the time it's posted, even at one a day, it wont be posted by Christmas.
The New Foal: Fuck, I love this story. I just had to put it to te side. It's a pony girl story and there aren't many of these. Usually, it's about someone who becomes a 24/7 pony for some rich asshole or something. This is real people who just do pony girl fetish for fun, and they are planning a trip to a fetish campground to compete. it has some twists and turns, but it's far more plausible a scenario.
It's just going to take a little while for new chapters. I'll get one posted soon. I should have wrote the entire thing before I began posting. I was just so excited that I jumped the gun.
Aunt Scarlet: My literally red headed step child of a story. Mike McGifford came up with the initial idea and gave me permission to finish it for him. I tried but let it sit forever, and then finally wrote about 26 chapters. It's still not finished, but today I posted up Chapter 18.
This one will be on hold until I get Mary and NIS done. Then I'll crank it out. I occasionally get an email from loyal readers who dig this story. It's one of the rare times I didnt' write 1st person.
It's a fun one. Blaine and his mom have to move in with his red headed sexy Aunt (strangely a dead ringer for Scarlett Johannson). She works out of her house as a prostitute and after an unsuccessful job search and a very convincing used care salesman, the Mom also joins Scarlet selling a little ass. This one has much more sex than a lot of my stories, in fact pretty much every day is several sessions.
On the Horizon for 2025:
Nude Rules: Wait until you read this motherfucker. It's one of my best stories to date. I have 20 chapters complete. It's very different than anything I've done to date. I feel like the characters are quirky/have chemistry, and the scenario is hot. I don't have any BDSM in this story, but there is a type of power exchange. I wont' say there won't be something approaching fetish, but right now it's more of a classic "Embaressed Nude Female"/Coming of Age story.
It's a pure joy to write, I hope you will feel the same about reading it.
Happy Birthday: This one I wanted to do something simple and fun. An extroverted teenager started a tradition years ago with her parents running around in her birthday suit, getting birthday spankings on her birthday.
That evolved over time into gag gifts, party games like pin the tail on the donkey with her butt (not real thumb tacks, tape -you sicko!) lol. and face in the cake type stuff.
The mom also competed on her birthday, at first getting spanked over jeans, but eventually doing her birthday in the nude.
It's 12 chapters, and now that the girl is 18, she feels she "aged" out of it, her brothers are older and so now it's become an all day thing for her. In true Eddie fashion, I wasn't content to just play the story straight and do a day in the life of this unusual family with a naughty tradition. I added some twists. Expect that one early 2025.
I have some others on the horizon. I am mostly trying to write stories that are a little different than what I've done before, broaden my range, get back to basics, and not be too over the top.
I have one idea, I am calling "Burundi" where two sisters go with their family on missionary work to an impoverished African visit. I haven't worked out the details but at some point they'll be naked, out in the wilds, trying to survive, and end up in the big-city trying to get home. That's the vision anyway.
I just thought I'd share my plans for the immediate and into 2025, and in other news;
This past week, I also decided to pull two stories that I have had languishing a long time.
1. NIS: Summer Camp.
This was supposed to be my homage to Meatballs (The classic) not the Corey Feldman Meatballs IV travesty.
Camp of plucky rejects led by a Bill Murray type and Hot Blonde against the rich campers upriver, hijinks and escapades. A young female camper becomes a CLIT (Camp Leader In Training) and is assigned a cabin of six boys who can give her reasonable requests.
It seemed like a no brainer fun time, but for whatever reason I lost the plot and never finished it. I removed the story until I revisit the idea.
2. Humilation Games: I wanted to do an alternate universe where after Influencers like Kim Kardasian become ultra-bimbos and cash-in, there is some backlash and 200 years later, women are second class citizens treated more like pets than people. They are bimbo-fied to humiliate them as opposed to put them on a pedestal, becoming more parody of a natural woman, and small titties are highly prized because most adult women have massive breasts due to genetic coding/special diets, and societal insistence on modifying lips, asses, etc
In other words, being a Kim Kardassian ultra-bimbo type is so normal, that maids and nannies look like that, and any woman who is natural is considered rare or a pariah. I called it "Humiliation Games" as a take on "Hunger Games".
The main character grows up believing this, and is chipper and upbeat.
My plan was that at some point, she has a Wizard of Oz style experience, wakes up in a fancy bed, and realizes all of the members of her family are there but now the roles are reversed and the brother who teased her, is her cuckold, and her mother is not a big-titty bimbo at all but a powerful executive who treats her husband like a maid. It was going to be sort of a twilight zone story.
Unfortunately, I just couldn't do it. I didn't enjoy writing the scenario even knowing the twist. I liked making the AI art for it, but that was about it.
So, those stories are gone.
As many of you who read my stories know, I've had one story that has been the "Red-headed step child" of my stories - quite literally.
(As the main character is a red head, that tracks).
https://storiesonline.net/s/23522/visiting-aunt-scarlet
Mike McGifford wrote the first few chapters with my feedback way back in 2020. I didn't know how to make AI pictures at that time. I tried to write an ending because I thought it was a great premise.
Instead, I let it sit and sit, unloved and untouched.
Then one day, I get inspired and I started writing more, and illustrating with AI. The main character he wrote happened to have a striking resemblance to Scarlett Johanssen and for AI that's great because I can make a persistent character with a LORA.
One thing that I learned from this and one other story, was never publish a story until you have written it all.
My new process is fairly complex. I free-write every chapter so I don't lose momentum. I go back and polish later. I wont bore you with details but until it's out of a rough edit phase, I won't post it here.
If I did try and edit and polish each chapter, I'd eventually lose momentum like I did with Aunt Scarlet back in 2020. It takes too long to get it where I want it and by then I've forgotten what I wanted in the next chapter.
Through my own creative energies, I managed to get inspired to write the New Foal story, which is quite popular. I've had this NIS: Breeder story for so long that by god, I am going to publish all 77 chapters if it kills me.
I want to do all that before the end of the year.
I also wrote a Mary Christmas story and I want to have it finished by Christmas. It's not doing so hot voting wise but the votes here are skewed anyway.
I ASKED politely in the story notes not to vote until at least chapter seven. Just give it that to see if it grabs you are not. It's impossible to judge from chapter one. However, all 20 votes are from chapter 1 and 2 from people who basically gave me the middle finger and did it anyway.
Which is why I hate voting and tend to think it's more punitive than anything else.
I explained in the story notes that this story starts out a bit grim for the two girls. They are set up by a stepbrother, to get in trouble but it eventually has a happy outcome (as Christmas stories should).
It's kind of like the "Bad Dad" story on Hallmark. You already know the trope. He'll get stuck at the airport and through a series of really unfortunate events he'll learn the true meaning of Christmas and say fuck the Anderson account, and spend it with his wife and kids throwing snowballs at their perfect house.
You gotta go through the crises to get to the end.
Originally it had about 12 chapters. I was QUITE unhappy with the ending I slapped on it. I had another idea brewing that I felt inspired to write.
However, I decided to go ahead and rewrite and expand the ending. If I post a chapter a day every day I won't finish by Christmas.
So, I am doing two a day when I can, to finish NIS as well by the end of the year.
For those of you who want more Aunt Scarlet and Foal: Both have more chapters written but I want to prioritize these others because they are close to the finish line, and Foal and Scarlet have a long way to go to the end.
I apologize about that. I am not pulling a George R.R. Martin on you here. I am just prioritizing to focus on finishing a few before 2025.
I've got one story called "Birthday games" completely finished after that. I've got another one called "Nude Rules," which I am quite proud of that is leading a family toward a nudist household. I've got a bunch of other ideas percolating. However, give Eddie the benefit of the doubt. I love the Aunt Scarlet story, and if you are a fan - I love you too.
It's been waiting this long to get its ending. Give it a little longer, and check out the conclusions of these other two stories in the mean time.
I violated my own rule posting Foal early, because it was so fucking good that I couldn't wait. I learned my lesson there. Finish one, start another.
Once these all get completed, I'll be doing that from now on. There could be gaps in posting a story because I tend to enjoy longer stories.
https://storiesonline.net/n/36875/the-new-foal-a-pony-girl-story/14
My friend Mike McGifford came up with the idea that started Foal. In his original draft, he mentioned a man named Eddie Davidson in casual conversation - but never any details about him.
I've been writing most of Foal, and decided to finally introduce him as my alter-ego and in this chapter I added a picture for your edification.
It's a boner killer for sure, but I think it adds something to the story. They say a picture is worth 1000 words, but it doesn't actually add to the word count of the story.
It does though add a little something to help provide background. Tolkien added maps, and there are some illustrations on covers and inside books just to give enough to help paint the world for the reader.
That's my goal with AI art - its fun to create. I normally do stuff that's sexual in nature, but I decided for one to do a self portrait.
One other thing that I added to this story is a powerful metaphor about shaping raw iron into something more - more valuable through the process of what some may consider pain and trouble.
I can't take credit for this idea. I saw a brilliant craftsman explain that the iron spike he was using had been sitting in the ground minding it's own business. When the spike is introduced to heat (The pain of life/trouble) it may ask "Why me? I did not ask for this".
And the pain shapes it, makes it brittle and easy to mold into something else. It is that crucible process that shapes all of us and can make us into a lump of mush, or something new and even stronger than before.
I know, that's deep, right? This is supposed to jerk off story about sexy hispanic girls that dress up like ponies and prance around with their tits out.
I thought that message was so powerful, that I enshrined it in this chapter, and it is for that reason that it is one of my favorites of all time.
A lot of my stories have fetish elements that some people find distasteful and that's okay, not everything is for everyone. However, I really think this particular chapter would appeal to many even if you arent into kinky leather stuff and elaborate shibari rope bondage.
I've been on SOL long enough to have written 72 stories, many of which are over 30 chapters, some approaching 75 chapters like my latest NIS: Breeder Program
When I began, I didn't have MS Word or any spell check, and I suspect my early stuff was pretty rough on the eyes grammatically.
I have better tools and grown as an author, but the same toxic people who were there day one to knock me down and try to encourage me to give up, are still here - the names may have changed but the tactics have not.
I don't think the voting system on this site accurately reflects the quality of stories, mostly due to the behavior of trolls. There is probably a lot of outliers of 1 or 10, and the 1 is probably from someone who simply ignored story codes, plodded into the story and said "Wait, this has (X) in it and I hate (X)...Down Vote!"
It is a story, it's just NOT for you. You don't have to punish it. Just move on, if you can't objectively rate the prose/grammar/plot structure.
I used to love the idea of collaborative writing, and on some level I still do. I used to feed off of the comments when I wrote "Do you have a big dick, why not?" and "Big Day at Sunny Manor" and even weave some of the suggestions into the story.
However, more often than not, I got a snotty gram from someone emboldened by the anonymity of the Internet to tell me in great detail why they wouldn't read the story - rather than just depart and move on like a good fellow.
Not everything is for everyone, and I've been pretty clear my stuff is for a particular kind of pervert. Most of my fans are engineers or analysts in some way. I am not sure why that is, but perhaps it's because I am.
I hate to think that I write a trope style, but I am sure that I have a "sub-genre" of interests that while I consider them broad, many of my stories reflect common themes.
As an example, I often write an alter ego of myself into the story in the form of a young man or father, and think about the story from their perspective.
In order to broaden that, I really do thrive when people write to me and suggest "hey, what about this direction for the plot instead?"
Sifting through the public comments though is like sifting cat litter for gold, when it's mostly just cat shit that you'll find.
I had experimented on NIS: Breeder and turned on comments. I had about seven pages, and honestly, most of it was awesome. Periodically, I'd go and read them, and if someone thought so poorly of my work they'd go the to trouble of writing a little snotty gram, I could click "Ban from ever commenting on my stories" and delete it and move right along.
Very satisfying.
It would be all the better if I could click "Ban from READING my stories or contacting me" but you take what you can get.
However, recently a few of the toxic trolls have become too emboldened. Unhappy with themselves, they lash out to tear others down.
"I only open this to look at the AI pictures and those are shit as well" type of comments, which are better left unsaid. I am glad they get off on the AI pictures, and if they don't want to read the story, I am fine with that too.
You see? and since I have little interest in what this troll enjoys, why should I hear about what they do? Why should anyone?
So, experiment ended - no more public comments.
However, I'm always game to talk to people who want to engage on my stories, make suggestions, catch mistakes I made in continuity or grammar, etc.
Now, it will be solely through the "Contact author" button.
I especially like it when a fellow author takes the time to reach out and offer some thoughts.
We (most of us anyway) do this for free, and we enjoy sharing our little fantasies with people for probably a multitude of reasons. In return, getting that validation from feedback freely given from readers to make my stories better and more diverse, is a really satisfying reward.
I don't need anyone to blow smoke up my ass and tell me I am the best author. I know that I am not.
Am I trying to be the best author?
Probably not either, if I were I'd set up a Patreon and try to make this my living.
However, just getting someone to take a few minutes of their time to provide some good feedback is great. That's something to aspire to.
The few readers who have stuck with me over the years and offer feedback, is a very small group of grognards who keep me going.
Years ago, someone wrote to me to complain about the direction of my story. At first, I was upset, but I realized something.
They were not angry with me, not really. They were mad that their favorite characters were going down a path they felt was bad for them.
What an honor!!
It's kind of like if you made Captain Kirk grow a mustache. The character is so iconic and beloved, that many people might not like it. They are not as much mad as they are passionate that the character stay true to the readers perception of them.
If you write characters no one gives a fuck about, and have them do something in the story that puts them in peril, no one will give a crap.
He was writing because he had an emotional reaction to a character I made real for him through our shared imagination. How cool is that?
I got to experience the feeling of accomplishment, because someone thought enough to write to me a very strongly worded email about the direction of the story.
That's one I didn't mind at all. it's the toxic "You are shit, this is shit, eat shit, you dumb shit" type of comments or the "I am not reading this!" from the dimwits who think I want them to announce their departure.
What do they think is going to happen? I'll hold my breath until they come back? IDGAF. If it's not for you, please don't read it. It's not FOR you.
If you are digging the story and I take a detour, well that's sort of my style. I will gladly spend three chapters writing about a single night at Rocky Horror Picture show and relish every word of it.
I am in no hurry to end my journey with the characters. The experience may not "move the plot" from Act I to Act II. It's still allowing others to live viscerally in the setting through the narrator's eyes.
Helping the reader smell the air, the fragrances of flowers, or the salt of the sea, to imagine the sun shining down on their faces just as it is the characters, and letting them hear the sounds in their head through descriptive word is just as important as plot development. I want you to experience this world, identify with it, feel like you know it - even if it's not YOUR personal world you live in now.
I may take you back to where you were in 1987, or a future that would be cool to imagine. In order to do that, I may envision a scenario within the story that simply enhances, without necessarily accelerating the plot. I make no apologies for the occasional detour in the story.
However, if you genuinely have some thoughts of constructive feedback and ideas about story direction, or just want to share continuity concerns, or grammar mistakes you discovered - I would love to hear them. I may not use them, but it's a gift and food for thought that may send me down a different path that was inspired by your feedback combined with my own depraved imagination.
I often write the entire story, or at least several chapters ahead, so it's not always possible for me to accommodate those kinds of requests any longer. Such is the case with NIS: Breeder.
The latest story arc posted around chapter 57, the daughter (Julie) wants to experience what it's like to be a sex worker in an authentic setting. She was challenged by her mentor at school to do things that make her feel "ick" but aren't true physical limits.
She also wants to help her friend and she thinks she can encourage her to go to college through her example of self-sacrifice. I don't think I am giving away much of the plot there, because you don't know how that goes (unless you are reading this a long time from now, after I conclude the story).
I had someone comment tonight (Which was really the final straw) that it made no sense, and "There was no plot".
Bitch, there are 60 chapters of this woman going from shy housewife to brazen naked submissive to her daughter. That's your plot. Where do you want me to shove it, so you can find it?
I am sure he downvoted me, and went off to contribute jack shit to the website except for his toxic negativity. No changing people like that.
In closing, believe it or not, I found a second site that hosts stories. I won't post the URL because that's a naughty thing to do here. However, I've never seen any toxic comments there.
It's all people posting encouraging things like "This is great, can't wait for the next chapter" and "I enjoyed the story, here are a couple notes!"
Imagine if all the toxic trolls on this site would just drop off the planet? nothing of value would be lost and we could just enjoy perverted stories and encourage new authors to write.
Instead, they seem to be waiting to pounce on new authors who write a theme they don't like to discourage them. Tools designed to empower creativity, are often mis-used like public comments, voting, forums and the private mail.
They find ways to get under the skin, undermine, kink-shame, and it works, so why would they ever stop?
Their time clearly has no value, since this is their aspiration. As time vampires, their goal is to suck away anyone else's time - as they did mine reading their gibberish.
You can choose not to engage in almost all of those too except voting. Sadly, it's on by default at chapter one. That's way too early. It's before anyone has an idea of how a much longer story will develop. That's like voting before you watched the dancer take her titties out.
Open to page one, read the first page and cast your vote on whether this is "not a story". Well duh, it's the first page of hundreds of pages to come.
I tend not to judge until at least chapter seven, as long as the story codes interested me.
You can try your hardest to engage with only people who are not toxic, but sooner or later on the forums or public comments, along comes debbie downer the boner killer to post some toxic comment because their life is so miserable that they aren't happy until they've made others miserable.
Just imagine if the majority of us either kept our mouths shut and moved on from stories we didn't enjoy, or offered encouragement?
It would kick ass.
