Ok to put links in my story to continue the series in ebooks outside of literotica?

[TangleLeg]

I’m just curious if it’s allowed in a story to link to an e-book series that continues the story. Not a separate story, a continuation of the story written here.

I’ve poked through the FAQ’s but I’m sure I’ve just missed where the policy is written somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

Nope. The only links allowed are links to other places on the Literotica website. That even extends to fictional web addresses that aren't hyperlinked.

You also can't plug anything offsite in submissions, even if it doesn't have a web address. You can't say, "check out my website" or "I'm on Amazon" or anything of that nature.

You can put links to things in your bio, and there's a thread for plugging paid work in the Author's Hangout for authors with work published on Literotica.

You can't then turn around and say, "Check out my bio for information about a continuation of this story", though. You have to assume that anyone interested enough to buy something from you will be interested enough to click to your bio without prompting and find it.

Left out forum signature as one of the places you're allowed to plug other things, so long as you're a published author on Lit.

Thank you. That was helpful and thorough. I appreciate the response.
