It's best to avoid too many 'tangential' genres, as it dilutes too much. Also, something to keep in mind, many of the sub-genres are genres that rely very highly on tropes. I mean, you shouldn't slap "cozy mystery" onto any sort of Horror story, for example.

A number of comments on this chapter have been hidden for multiple rules violations. Post political commentary in the Pit and leave the political bullshit out of the Stories area.

We do have a lower tier cost option. There is always the danger of the trade off of people switching to the lower cost and there not being enough members. The exact way we'll deal with site funding will be explored after we upgrade and things stabilize. It's possible.

just click the link and don't filter anything: https://gayauthors.org/stories/browse/reading-stats/

Just click the My Reading Statistics for your own stories. Click the menu item Reading Stats if you want to see what stories are popular in a given year. https://gayauthors.org/stories/browse/reading-stats/ Top read Stories For this year is order of listing. The large number next to the story is the All Time Top reading rank: You can also filter by tags and genres to see what the top stories are. The numbers as a percentage don't move much year to year. 24% of the reads were General Fiction. 22% were Romance. 18% Action/Adventure. 8% Paranormal. Full details in a future post.

On top of the forums on the right side every day. You can also find it by going to the Writing Blog from the Writing menu. Easy solution. Don't start reading a story until it's complete if you do not like episodic posting. The vast majority of authors aren't holding completed chapters off on the side just not posting them. They are still writing them.

C James story used to be on his regular old website where this was possible. It's not possible in this system. We've tried, but the images break over time.

We can add custom ones. Just need an artist with time. I can't quite see adding this one. I'm not much of a singer, and I'm pretty sure she'd find a way to make me sing soprano if ever such a thing did appear.

This is a complicated one. If you visit the genre and tag link in the Stories section, is lists tags in categories. This is just for visual assistance to members. A genre is a category you can group things by. A tag, in this software, is just a descriptive item. And although we group them visibly for filtering or searching, they aren't grouped like categories are. That is, I can't make an author add a tag of type setting. This current version of the software also has a lot of limits with out tags are used. Creating too many of them dilutes them to a point of uselessness. We are making changes in the new software with how the story tags work and there will be the ability to add more, but not nearly enough to be able to set a location like that. And as someone mentioned above we have plenty of stories that take place all over the place. In the 23 years since I've opened Gay Authors, I've not had a single person ask for what you did on searching for stories that way In my visits to the many story sites and stores out there, I've never noticed a site having that feature either. So, I would hazard to guess that the desire is fairly niche. In the telemetry data for the site, I don't recall seeing location names pop up much either. Though they are probably searching for those gay demons for some reason or another.

That's deliberate, actually. The description is meant to be a brief book blurb or back of cover quick run. Some people try to write their whole story in the description so we stop that. If you are hitting the limit then keep in mind the current limit is double what it used to be. We have no plans to expand. I will plug AI at this point. Write what you to say in the description and then shove it one of those many AI tools and ask it to give you a pithy book blurb. Voila - free marketing tool to spice up you've written.

Yup, just ignore it like you have been. Possibly, but it depends on your browser. I'd recommend just logging in and staying that way. Saves tons of trouble especially for folks with your described tech challenges.

It should work fine here, depending on browser. I confirmed it works fine in Edge on windows. And Edge on iPad.

Just use a collection as your to be read pile. It shows all that stuff. Here is a public Collection I've shared. You can make public and private ones: How to create a collection: How to add a story to a collection:
