Jinn, I honestly don't see a problem with the current system. This is not an attempt to stop you from changing anything it's just I can't see any problems from the users point of view. Maybe someone needs to point them out to me in a little more detail, am I missing something?

Each story listed on the Update Page states quite clearly what has been added.

Example 1:

[Update] Torture The Widow ( M+/f F/f cbt enema exhibition fisting incest interracial snuff toys WaterSport BDSM real torture nc Extreme violent ) by HarryBerg (Review It!) (add part 18)

This indicates quite clearly that a new chapter has been added and this is clearly a serial story, hence the use of the title [Update] at the beginning of the entry.

Example 2:

[New] Lethal Loving ( F/m BDSM slavery real consensual Extreme ) by M.M. (Review It!)

This clearly indicates it is a new story, hence the use of the title [New] at the beginning of the entry.

I am not trying to be sarcastic or condescending but I honestly cannot see any problems that can arise from the current system. I would not want any more work to be added to Jinn's list. A great job is being done running this site.

On the other topic I don't know how to promote readers to review or contact the author. I'll give it a little think though. Most of the authors on this site are doing a great job and without their unselfish efforts a lot of people would not be coming here (to be honest, yes authors write because they need to so it's not totally unselfish but a lot of effort and anguish goes into writing these stories and this really needs to be recognised).

How about an authors strike. We all promise not to write any more until we start getting responses and reviews

I know what kind of responses would be the majority but it's an idea. Erotica authors of the internet unite!!
