Back again

[talemestories]

Hello everyone.

I was here before, deleted my account and stories, and have returned.

I have received a few questions and comments in my story comments about being a reposter, etc.

I have emailed info@ to clarify but is there anything else I should do to ensure I am not flagged?



Thanks.

Probably best to ask your questions here. You might be waiting a while for a reply to your email.

You might consider updating your 'About' biography to mention that you have posted at least some of your stories on the site previously, and if it was under a different name. Including a note to the editor with your submissions of any works that you removed and are adding again is probably prudent as well.
It may or may not matter if someone reports one of your stories. If you're using the same contact info the site can probably assume you're the same person in the event someone accuses you of stealing the stories, but if your details are different this time around, their hands may be tied by an inability to verify ownership.

Thanks, rustyoznail, I did send and email then also posted here as I figured someone might know.

Bamagan, I am using the same user name and email for this account again. I mentioned that I had posted and deleted in the notes to the moderator section of the new story submission.

I might put this into my bio as well along with 'niece in law' as a reminder to those that might have read comments before.

Thanks, fellow Literoticans.

Flagged for what? Do you mean for republishing your own stories and fearing someone or the site will remember your old account, and accuse you of stealing someone else's stories?

If that's a concern, make it very clear in a Note to the Editor that both the old account and this new one are in fact the same person. If you're still using the same email address that should be simple; if you're using another, might be a bit more tricky. Alternatively, write new stories, problem solved.

Yes, that is exactly what happened. I was just trying to figure out if I needed to do anything beyond what I did or if there was someone to message. I know some places go nuclear right off the bat with new folks so just trying to avoid that.

I have also written some new stories as well.

Thanks for the response.

Well, all's well that ends well. I think as my comments were moderated and posted, people figured out that I was the same person after all.

It's fun to be back and writing. Looking forward to some new competitions and ideas from the forums.

Any advice as to the best sub forums to check for reader story or idea suggestions?

The Story Ideas forum is seeing some decent use. There’s also Looking for Story (under Story Feedback) if you want see what the readers are literally looking for, although it mostly concerns specific, existing stories rather than themes or plot templates for new ones.

Cool, I will check that out. Thanks for the response.

I'd suggest noting within the story itself that this is a repost of something previously posted under a different ID, and giving that ID. That saves readers from having to figure out whether this is story theft that they should be reporting.

Thanks. It was the same name, same email, just a deletion, and then a re-upload. I think anyone that was interested has figured this out by now based on the lack of comments I see in the stream. I think I had five or six stories up so the new uploads should be a good indicator I am the writer.

Thanks for the response.
