Just introducing myself

[Djmac1031]

Hi all. I've been reading stories on this site for years but only recently decided to start writing my own. I'm still figuring out the logistics of this site and exploring the chat threads etc. I'm hoping to get to know some of you better, I'm always open to conversations and feedback on my stories etc.

Looking forward to slowly becoming part of the community.

Welcome aboard. You'll get your sea legs soon enough.

If you have questions, then let us know. Despite what you sometimes see in this forum, helping other authors is a lot of what we're here for.

Hello! I looked at your profile, and you are doing very well with your first nine submissions. (I wish I could be that consistent!) So congratulations on a great start.

Welcome!

I might suggest that your signature include a link to your stories, but it looks like you're off to a solid start.

Good luck.

Welcome, Djmac1031 hope you to see you often.

Welcome.

I second TP's suggestion -- insert a link to your submissions page in your signature. Everyone can see what you do much more easily. You will get more recognition.

Another suggestion: Don't think too much about it. Just write. Writing is the best way to learn how to write. Write and publish and see what happens.

Also, figure out the peculiar category landscape of Literotica. Read this: https://literotica.com/s/love-your-readers-categories

Every new Literotica author should read that guide. It's the best guide I know for figuring out what category to publish your story in.

Thanks all. I'll look into figuring out the link thing. I've also been reading a lot of the various articles as I have time. Several have helped tremendously already.

Go to your own profile page.


There's a section on that page marked "signature."

You can set up your signature however you want. Every time you make a post on a thread, your signature will appear. You can set it up so the link to your submissions page appears every time you post. This is a VERY good way to get more attention for your stories.

Thanks I'll look into that

Testing to see if I got the signature thing right

I don't wanna start a bunch of new threads asking stupid questions, but can anyone let me know if I'm interpreting the story Stat icons right?

I'm assuming the ❤ = favorites, the one next to that is views, the star is average ratings?

 

[NotWise]

You got those right. The next one to the right (a speech bubble) is comments, but it only appears when you have comments.

If you're on a device with a pointer, then you can hover over the icons and a pop-up tells you what they are and gives a little more information.

Ah, I guess I don't get that on my phone lol.

Appreciate the help though.
