Lately, for some reason, the submissions have taken a very dark turn. We're getting nearly exclusively stories about brutality, degradation, the end of a race etc. This is not necessarily a bad thing all by itself and we have several authors who do a very good job of making these stories pretty hot, but we're also starting to see an influx of stories that are just descriptions of extreme violence that have no element of eroticism to them at all. That's not what we want to be about. We're seeing a lot of submissions lately featuring ******** characters, watersports, bestiality and scat etc. That's not what we're about either.
It's very difficult to set hard and fast rules concerning erotica. Two people may describe the very same act. One does it well and it's a good story, very sexually charged and erotic. The other guy doesn't do it well and it sounds like a clinical description of a homicide. You see the difficulty. It may be possible, however, to describe a general framework.
We don't publish anything with ******** characters involved in sexual action, and it's very rare that we would approve anything involving bestiality. Not because of a moral judgement on the part of the site staff, but because people have been locked up for publishing such stories and there's nothing sexy or fun about THAT, so we just won't take that risk. We're reluctant to feature stories about watersports, scat and such things if those things are the main focus of the story. We're not a scat site. We're a hotwife site with an emphasis on cheating and cuckoldry. If done well, such things may be allowed as PART of the story, to illustrate submission for example, but it virtually never works as the most prominent aspect of a story.
A more difficult area to tackle are the ******** stories and stories featuring ultra-violence. As I said before, there are a few authors who do it well. I'm not going to name authors because anyone I neglect to mention may get offended, but we do have a few whose submissions I look forward to approving. It can definitely work. However, we've also had too many submissions lately where the extreme violence is the entire focus of the story and everything else is incidental. Very little plot or reason behind the violent acts, just long bloody descriptions of someone being murdered, and that needs to be discouraged because that's just not who we want to be here. If you're into writing this type of story, make sure it's a GOOD story. I'm going to create a new subforum for rejected stories so that people who are into this type of thing can go view those stories, but fewer of them are going to make it to the front page in the future.
One last little point: In a lot of cases we get submissions that are actually good stories that I want to publish, but I have to spend a ton of time correcting misspellings, punctuation and creating paragraphs out of huge blocks of text. If you're a good enough author to write a compelling story, I refuse to believe that you aren't good enough to format them correctly lol... so please. PLEASE. Take a few moments before you submit a story to proofread it. Maybe create a first, second or even third draft to get it right before calling it done. Make use of the style guides we make available to you. It's a shame, if you have the talent to tell a good story, for it to remain unread because of mechanical errors in the grammar and formatting.
Thank you for all your submissions, and please realize that this isn't some sort of insult to anyone's tastes. It's just a small adjustment to ensure that this site remains the sort of website it has always been, and that I want it to be in the future as well.
