Continuing off the original topic, viewtopic.php?f=9&t=27590, I decided to rephrase and make a poll to see if people would be interested.
So, here's the jist of the idea. What we will have in the "Announcements" section is a thread that will allow both authors AND story fans a chance to advertise the story that are in progress, or have been completed.
This will give use benefits, such as:
- Easily find stories that you would be interested in
- Give Stories a chance to be noticed, especially if they've been buried in the "Archives" cemetery.
Here is what a sample story ad would look like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<Name of Story>
<M/M, M/F, F/M, F/F, or mixed>
<Content Rating, i.e. PG17, Sexual, etc.>
<Summary, or a short description of the story>
<What types of bondage to expect? i.e. Tags and Keywords>
<Link to story on the Board>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would suggest that some moderation take place. For example, I think summaries should be short and to the point. It would be annoying to see an author post a overly long 'summary' and overshadow the other ads. It would also be good to keep to a certain format, as seen above. I think well organized ads will help story readers find what they're looking for a lot easier.
