When one of your favorite authors publish? I apologize in advance if I posted this in the wrong forum. I was not sure where to post.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

Hang on a moment. Lit gives a platform for amateur writers to post free erotica. How and why should the site spend time and money tracing and following every reader's erotic proclivities?
Keep a list of your favorite writers and follow the new lists and search their sites here.
This is a question to go directly to the site editor, Laurel, via the Private Message (PM) system at the upper right of this page.
Because todays people want it now, they don't want to look it up, search for it, or even think about it...they want everyone else to notify them.
Bookmark your favorite authors and click on the bookmark once in awhile. Any new stories published by them will have a "New" tag, black on yellow, behind them.
Isn't it more the author's job to keep a file or have a facebook page of fans that can be mailed?

I think the short answer is:
"The machine is not (/can not be) set up for such a function."

I'm from an earlier, more independent, less babysat generation.
It's not about babysitting.
I worked for a newsletter publishing company as they added online content to the existing print content. We publish on a regular schedule, weekly or biweekly depending on the issue, and some stuff is sent out daily. I still create these files to send to various subscribers. They want it, and they are the customers, so they get it, although we perhaps had the advantage of building that in from the beginning. (Of course, they were also paying customers, which is different from Lit.)
I don't think it's unusual for people to want this feature. It's a pretty common thing. Fanfiction.net does it, for one, and I imagine other writing sites do as well. If Lit doesn't want to, or can't yet, no problem.
It's like various features in cars -- they became standard. This is fairly standard and people inquiring about it are not wanting to be babysat, they're just asking about a common feature.
A thought
If there was a "New stories" thread, an Author could easily put up a notice to say "Hey - I've got another up" or similar. Then the readers interested merely need to have a look for themselves.
Ah well, perhaps not, then.
Notifications are coming.
There are a couple of concerns with notifications for a site the size of Literotica, especially one with adult content.
With on-site notifications, the concerns are just resources. We can overcome that with more (or faster) servers. That costs money, but in general, with hardware getting cheaper and faster, it is probably something that we can handle. We won't know for sure how the system will work until we start testing with real users.
Email notifications are a little more complicated because some large ISPs automatically block emails from any site (especially those with adult content) that is sending a large volume of daily emails to their users. We have been pretty successful at working with these ISPs to remove bans over the years, but there are cases where ISPs are not too friendly to websites with adult content.
We have been doing closed testing of on-site notifications (along with a number of other new features that will be part of the Literotica redesign) and we are hoping to open that system up to BETA testing before too long.
All feedback, suggestions, and concerns are appreciated.
