Furry fiction archives or lack thereof

[Chi Chi]

Oh sorry. They are attachments (You can do the same thing with pictures on this forum) You just click the link in my post and you can download them. If that is a problem however (they don't have a virus as far as I am aware but one can NEVER be to careful these days) I can try something else. Any suggestions?

The link is dead.:angel:

[Chi Chi]

Yes, yes it is dead. The forum was completely erased and rebuilt from the ground up and my stories were lost. I will upload a new link as soon as Tynan fixes the computer that has the stories on them and they are re uploaded to scaletopia. Heck i'll also upload them here when i get the chance ok?

Well, YS redesigned. Unfortunately, SoFurry's interface is as bad if not worse. :P

Anyone tried to post stories on FA? Good lord, they really need a "just paste it in" submission method.

Most of my stuff is posted on FA, usually as an RTF. It doesn't necessarily show up in the FA interface, but gives the option to download it instead, which seems to work. Either that or it explains why I can have a story with 40 views on FA and 1000 on YS. =P
It might be a better option to have an entry box to paste in on FA, now that you mention it.
I'm managing to find stuff on SoFurry, though their forums are an utter disaster...

Probably more likely the suckitude of the exposure on FA. I have a story up there with 17 views, mostly me. On SF it has about 600 views.

Here's an interesting metric. I posted a story almost at the same time on FA and on SoFurry the other night. It's a fairly generalist type adult story, no specific kinks or anything that would draw a specific audience.

Last night I had about 140 views on SoFurry, compared to 37 on FA. Tonight, I've got 253 on SoFurry, compared to 42 on FA. Two favs on FA, 5 on SF (plus a half-dozen others on other stories generated by the new traffic).

The difference: tags, a more robust search feature, and a longer-lasting "new stories" list on SoFurry, I think.

I've half given up on trying to find stories myself. I wasn't too pleased with what had happened to Yiffstar myself. When I go there, half the time I find myself getting fustrated. Last I checked, they don't even have a links page, which was one of the features that I used to use at times.

On a related subject, I once tried starting up a group to help bring people together in order to come up with story ideas. I had meant it to focus on the cleaner aspects of writing. Unfortunately it didn't really go anywhere and eventually it ended up being taken down due to serious lack of activity.

I don't think finding stories isn't quite as much of a problem. Rather that it is finding stories that don't always focus on the more dirtier aspects of the fandom that seems to be more of a rarity. Perhaps it is just me.... or something.
