scouries said:Numbers…
…to start off I thought I’d post some numbers relating to SCOURIES WORLD. I’ve always thought the site would be vastly improved if we just did away with the worshipped red H’s and simply listed the number of views, votes, and average rating next to each story on the various authors home page. I believe this would reduce much of the bickering and complaining about low scores and trolls. *snip*(my bold)
Why did you leave off your average rating?
Because his story with the most "sales" (hits, in other words) rates under 4.50 and has no little red "H"starrkers said:Mr Scouries, sir, I understand your irritation at us for posting in your thread, and I apologise. But please, sir, I have a serious question, and you ignored it.

scouries said:Questions for Manu and Laurel…
QUESTION #2 Could you explain the formula (and the reason for it) that you use to determine where on the ‘New Story’ page a story is placed?
Certain author’s stories are also always listed near the top. Do you charge these authors for the privilege or are they given these lofty positions for some other reason?

I'm surprised the powers that be of Literotica do not address your issues. What with you being the most popular author and all.

I bet they're just respecting his request for no replies to be posted on this thread. They want to answer his questions, but damn...Scribbled said:I'm surprised the powers that be of Literotica do not address your issues. What with you being the most popular author and all.
scouries said:SUGGESTION #4 – Why not give a detailed reason when you Reject a Story
I’ve had about 13 out of the 58 or so stories I’ve submitted to Literotica rejected. Some have been rejected up to five times! I’m always surprised when one is rejected. I think I understand Literotica’s rules and while I may not agree with them I do try to write my stories to conform to them. When a story of mine is rejected I rush to try and find the problem and correct it. My stories have been rejected for the following reasons:
*Poor Grammar
*Underage Characters
*Snuff Scene
*Wrong Category
*Bestiality
But when one of the censors rejects a story they don’t provide very specific details – instead there is a line that asks something like ‘is there an underage character in this story?’ or ‘is this in the right category?’ or ‘does this story include bestiality?’ Shit, if you’ve read the story and decided it needs rejection why not be a little more specific?
Strangely at least nine of the thirteen stories I’ve had rejected were subsequently accepted without me making any changes at all! I just resubmit them with a note like ‘I looked for the underage character and don’t believe there are any of them in this story– I’d be happy to change something if you have some specific problem – please advise’. One of two things happens; one, usually the story is accepted without comment, or two, it’s rejected again but with again no highlighting of the exact problem.
I believe it would save me time and worry, as well as save your censors time, if they were quite specific when they reject a story. Something like, ‘Sally is only 16 years old when she has sex with Arthur in the middle of page two in your story – this is unacceptable and must be changed,’ or ‘it is not okay for Sally to have vaginal/penile intercourse with the dolphin in the second paragraph’.
I’ll then be able to immediately address the problem instead of slogging through ten thousand words trying to figure out what I’ve done wrong.
So please, for all of our sakes, talk to your censors and get them to be a bit more specific in future.

fcdc said:... it's just too funny how Scouries keeps going. I want him kept on the site and posting. This stuff is golden.
Gosh. The powers that be have a vested interest in mainting things the way they made them? That's so odd. Why would such an interest be vested?Scribbled said:I doubt it. Many of the issues scouries has raised have been brought up before with no "official" response. One might conclude that the powers that be at Literotica have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.
Lauren Hynde said:then scouries would never shut up.

always entertaining
award winning
author J.R. Scouries might just what you’re looking for.
The story, set in Richmond, Virginia, and on the island of Martinique in the Caribbean Sea, chronicles the awakening interest an eighteen year old virgin develops for the man she’s always loved.
Her sexual curiosity piqued when she finds a pair of someone else’s panties in her wash.
But sex? With her daddy?
And why does her father have a drawer full of women’s lingerie anyway?
Were her girlfriends right when they’d told her that her dad was a hunk? That he was well hung?
Humorous and erotic, this story follows the beautiful, tall, full breasted, dark haired vixen
as she lures her reluctant father towards the inevitable, it all finally climaxing under the hot sun on a deserted Caribbean beach.
Early reviews are sparkling.
and finally: Amazing is the only word close to describing your work.
Please accept my invitation to read this tale. Read it alone or bring it to bed with your lover.
Scribbled said:Now that makes a lot of sense to me. Somebody like you is doing the "approving" and rejects scouries stories just to fuck with him.
scouries said:QUESTION #4 Could you Explain Lead Times?
One common complaint that comes up endlessly on these boards is the amount of time it takes to get a story approved and up and running.
My first question on this subject is the following: Do all stories go in the same line or are there different lines for different categories and/or authors?
Secondly,Why does it take so long anyway? Is there something we can do that would speed up the process?
Thirdly, Would it be possible to give a submitting author an estimated release date when he submits a story?[
After you’re submitted a story it could be automatically assigned an estimated date when it was likely to come out.
This small step could do wonders for alleviating the stress felt by an expectant author.
