Please recommend stories (from here or elsewhere) of "Loving Wives" (aka cheating wives) genre, where the cheating victim finds his happily ever after with cheater's sister.
(If it's a first cousin, mother, or daughter, you're welcome to include as well).
Subverted trope in Stangstar's https://storiesonline.net/s/20582/alone-in-a-room
Little sister makes older sister think she's going after the ex.
How about cheating homicidal wife's mother?

Often Imitated Never Duplicated G.I.L.F by StangStar06
1. That specific story was THE WORST by SS06 and one of the WORST EVER stories I ever read (and this comes from a fan of that author).
2. In my view, it doesn't fit with the topic - either in letter (because "not a sister", to be lawyer-y), but also in spirit, because the general idea is for MC to have a happy life and kids with the sister, whereas in that story MC died alone and 100% childless.
Regardless, I appreciate your input, even if I always hated the story. Thanks!
Everyone has their 'off' stories, and sometimes even the best of us go off on a lark. Hopefully the stories are still entertaining, even when it's not in the particular direction you're hoping for. If not, then read until you can't stand it any more, and then move to the next one. If they've hit it before, they're likely to hit it again.
Unfortunately, that story saved the worst parts till the very end, so I couldn't have predicted it would be so awful without skipping to reading the end of the last page. Which is a method I use with... less savory authors shall we say :) But never felt SS06 warrants such precautions :)
If that's the extent of your issue, I dare to suggest a solution:
1) download the story,
2) rewrite the last page yourself,
3) re-read the story.

it's a sequel to the famous "A Joke" by Agena - one of the better sequels among many.
Related question. Do you what happened to Star stang?. Did he Just burn out or succumb to covid?
LOL you're right :) That's why I teach junior programmers not to type stuff, and instead copy/paste where possible - avoids errors.
Good point! When I started my career as a programmer, we were using COBOL (yeah, I'm that old). I quickly learned not to write a program from scratch, but to find something similar that fit my needs and mod it.
This thread is going off topic, but in COBOL's case it is not that you are going to mistype a name, more that there are something like 20 lines which need to be present and mostly in a certain order. You can sit there with the manual before you or you can take a skeleton program and add the flesh.
I'm assuming you are not going to mistype "procedure division" but are you going to remember that file-control is in the input-output section? So much of the first three divisions is pretty much fixed, and the environment and data division entries use the same clauses with different values.
I am personally not loving it because it seems there's no downside for the cheater older sister, but at least the cheating victim is emotionally salvaged by younger sister and she finally married him.
just literally posted today on other site.
So are you a marketing person for that other site? This isn't the first time that you post a very specific question and you come back later and recommend stories from that site, publishing the author's name and the story's name, in a very accurate and easy to find way. What's missing is the link.
You're about to be banned from the forum.
Plenty of people publish stories from that site, my impression was that the rule was that you aren't allowed to link to them, not that you can't mention them at all. If that's not the case I'd appreciate clear cut rules being posted.
I'm most definitely NOT affiliated with that site (hell, i strongly dislike the owners there), however, there's more stories there that match my interests (and more authors I follow are there), so I happen to know more from there than here. In the last month, SoL only had less than 10 new stories of the types I was interested in; and I religiously scan every single new story on SoL's new story feed. Not the site's fault, just works out that way content vs. my interests.
You have to decide what is of more value to you, to have a recommendation forum with more (and more useful) content - which presumably gives more value to users and thus draws more interest in SoL as well as probably improves search traffic - OR have a recommendation forum that's purely SoL. I'd suspect the latter won't help you much (seriously, how many people do you "lose" who decide to avoid SoL just because they saw a story recommended on a site they most likely ALREADY know about), but you're the boss and you make the rules.
No need to ban me, if my contributions to benefit this site's user aren't welcome, I have no problem to stop wasting MY valuable free time contributing them for others.
If that's not the case I'd appreciate clear cut rules being posted.
I never really thought that it needs to be literally spelled out. I would have thought that it would be obvious and self explanatory, but I guess not.
It's actually very, very simple: Don't encourage readers to go read somewhere else.
Linking is the most obvious, but telling about a story on another site and making it easy to find by giving exact title and exact author name, comes in second. Extolling the goodness of a story on another site and giving enough hints for the interested to find it is also bad.
The forum is value added, it's not what's valuable about the site. The stories, reading them, is where the value is. Directing people to read somewhere else is a loss to SOL. The forum is only value added when it directs the readers to the stories on the site here. It becomes a value subtractive feature when it directs readers to go somewhere else.
What's valuable about SOL for readers is the availability of a wide array of stories to read. What's valuable about SOL for authors is the audience they get for their stories. Encouraging people to read somewhere else diminishes that value and disrupts the site's virtuous cycle.
I don't run a forum site to build up the value of the forum, I run a stories site. Recommending stories on another site deprives SOL of readers, and in a roundabout way encourages authors to follow those readers.
You want to add value to SOL? Encourage authors on other sites to post their stories here. You want more of the type of contents that you like on SOL? Invite your favorite authors to post here.
I appreciate you taking time to explain your reasoning.

Already did that actually and at least 2 authors I liked migrated (though one definitely wasn't due to my input).
I admit since yesterday my willingness to continue doing so is considerably lower, for hopefully obvious reasons.

That was awesome. Great. Thank you.

For this statement to be obvious, then it means that your motivation is not to contribute to SOL. Your motivation is to contribute to the other site.
Otherwise, your willingness and motivation to contribute wouldn't be affected at all.
