Where does this belong?

Postby Tugger138 » Sat Mar 09, 2013 1:35 pm

I have been using these forums for some time now and I decided to write my own story, based on real events. Names, quotes and exact events may be different but everything else is real. Does that belong in fiction or non-fiction?
As far as I have come up to this point, the parts become progressively more intimate. I came up with the idea to have an intimacy rating at the start of every part, ranging from 1 to 10. But should I still post it in intimate or is that okay for the normal forums?

T.L.D.R. where should I post my progressively more intimate semi-fictional story, if at all?

I would suggest the Intimate Tugs section, regardless of the intimacy rating of any individual parts. It was meant for True intimate stories anyway, until so many people put fictional stories into it that it was decided to make Fictional Intimate TUGs a separate section. But even so,few people really care if a story posted there is fictional or not just as long as it's enjoyable. You can make it reasonably clear what parts are made up and what parts are not and imo most readers will be happy with that.
Even if your story begins slowly with the first part having a rating of 0 on your scale, if later parts are going to ramp up to a 9 or so there's no real point getting people into it if they're unwilling to read the intimate parts. So you may as well post it there to begin with so you can put all the parts in one place in their proper order; making the story easy to locate and to read. Having to search all over the site for various parts of a story in order can be a drag for some people.
