In the article, "Erotic Literature" under the heading "Internet fiction."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotic_literature

Lit is one of six sites described. It reads as follows:

"Literotica is one of the largest (if not the largest) free stories sites on the Internet, with nearly 25,000 registered authors contributing almost 90,000 stories, poems, essays, illustrated stories and audio stories in a huge variety of categories. It accepts most forms of erotic work with few exceptions, leading to a varied contributorship and enormous reader base."

(As a newbie, so sorry if this has come up before.)

I discovered Wikipedia accidentally while working on various non-fiction projects over the months. When googling for a particular piece of information the best source kept turning out to be Wikipedia.
 
That doesn't surprise me. Hell, they have ads for Lit in most porno mags.

Really? I wouldn't know about that sort of thing. (Pssst - has been known to rent DVDs online.)
Seriously, I have not been able to figure out how this site pays the bills, much less pays for ads. I see the handful of ads and "pay per click" links on the homepage, and it must be that I would be amazed at how lucrative such things can be.
 
Of the cultural advancements brought to us by the internet, along with Netflix and the Toys in Babeland online store (and, of course, Literotica :)), Wikipedia has vastly improved my quality of life over the last couple years. Whenever I want to learn about some new topic, I tend to start there. Relative to many sites born of the open publishing movement, wikipedia entries seem, by and large, to be well-written and replete with useful info.

And, hey, if anyone's unsatisfied with the way Literotica or anything else is defined, they can append and amend away!

So when do we get residuals?? :rolleyes:
Maybe when we're published on a site that isn't free? Mebbe?
