Did anybody else get a feedback through your "anonymous feedback to author" function, from a company wanting you to write for them instead of lit?
I don't mean a good one, where someone actually offers you money for a story.
No, I mean a ridiculous offer: "Give us a story, then you can read stories on our site free for a full month!"
Well, I got one this morning. What I found surprising was that they bothered to write to me in my native language. Danish. -- Well that could of course have something to do with their original site being Danish or some such...
The message was:
"Hej Ellynei,
Vi har med stor begejstring laest dine historier og skriver til dig fordi vi er ved at launche et erotisk fiktions website i England, lidt efter samme model som her, dog udbygget med andet erotisk guf.
Vi er paa jagt efter forfattere der har lyst til at faa deres historier paa vores site, til gengaeld giver vi en maanes fri adgang per submission."
Translated that would be something like:
"Hi Ellynei
We have with great enthusiasm read your stories and write to you because we are launching a fictional erotic website in England, somewhat by the same model as here* , although expanded with other erotic "goodies"**
We are hunting for authors who would like to get their stories on our site, in return we give a month free access pr submission."
This was followed by name and contact email.
here* might be a referral to an already existing danish site who works by a "pay pr month to read stories - or get a free month pr story"-system.
goodies** guf is slang and not easily translated. (General meaning: good/tasty/delicious).
Anyhow, I'm wondering, did these guys just search lit for Danes and send each of us this message? (Because you have to be a Dane to be stupid enough to fall for it.) Or did they spread their idiotic offer to other nationalities too? Or was I just "lucky"?
I wrote them back from an alternate mail, (don't want to get spammed with ads from that site on my primary mail), and quite politely stated that if my stories were to be published in that commercial a context I'd expect a more tangible payment than "a months subscription pr submission."
Grrmble. How dare they come to Literotica, which to my knowledge is the best online source of free erotic novels, to not only advertise their ridiculous subscription based "pay for stories, the authors get nothing" system -- but also suggest that lit-authors submit stories to their site instead?
No, seriously. It's rude.
I feel like I woke up and someone send me an email saying: "Hi, you are Danish. I just know you are stupid beyond repair. Let me sell you this green cheese. It is a piece of moon-rock!"
