I think so, yes.

You can always look at the Stories Update feed - https://gayauthors.org/discover/6/ The feed shows every chapter/story posted going back in time. If you view it in default condensed mode, it shows quite a bit in a small space. They are curated as you mention, last I looked. We allow for posting your own stories. And they have a few less authors, so they can put them all on the front page. We have a bit more volume. I will look into options about different ways to surface fresh content though.

Intro Invision Community 4.X series software is coming to an end. Invision Community 5.0 will be launching soon. They have run 16 Alpha tests and will be releasing Beta next week. Their stated intention is to hit the release version quickly. I figure it will probably be by December. Those of you who have been with us for a while know that we have to do a major update to our Story Archive software to meet the new Invision Community revision when it is released. As the 5.0 version is essentially a complete rewrite under the hood, that means some significant investment in time for us to convert the Story Archive. Since we are doing this update, this is the easiest time to adjust features. Adding and removing things as our needs change. For everyone saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," that would be an incorrect understanding. The 4.0 version of the software was retrofitted to handle mobile devices. About 15% of site traffic at the time it was released was mobile. Fast forward to today and it is 60%. While 4.0 and it's retrofit works well enough, it, and especially the text editor, where not designed for mobile devices. Invision Community 5.0 is designed to be mobile first. There is a brand new, more functional editor that is mobile first. Time To Weigh In Some features from 5.0: Light Mode, Dark Mode, and Auto - Theme will be light or dark or switch automatically with your device settings. All new more capable text editor. Including editor controls staying on top of screen as box gets larger, so no back and forth to fix formatting. Must faster, mobile first design. Side Menu that scrolls independently of the main page, so all links can be on the page at once. Use built in emoticons and icons in the editor Lots of ease of use improvements for supporting the community. Such as "Community Experts," which highlights posts and provides more weight to active, helpful members of the community. Tagging has more weight, with each tag getting it's own page and tying items together better. So, what would you like to see in Stories? What function are we missing? Examples: Suggested stories based on the story you are looking at. (Coming in next update) Suggested stories based on stories you rated as liking. (Coming in next update) More control over reading fonts (size, style, etc). (Planned for 5.0 Story Archive Update) Simple/Advanced Mode to reduce complexity. (Planned for 5.0 Story Archive Update) More icons/graphics for quick glance information (Planned for 5.0 Story Archive Update) Overhaul of "Adding a Story" to the system for Authors. (Planned for 5.0 Story Archive Update) Since this type of thing has happened more than once, such asks as "Make it look like books on shelves in a library" are not really up for discussion. We have to fit within the framework of the software. We are stuck with text and icons, essentially. So, what would you like to see in the new Stories Archive 5.0?

It should be "Edit Author" when you click "My Stories."
