Where to post a story?

[ozeboi69]

Seeking reader advice....

Currently, I'm writing a couple of serials "by request" for some "extreme" kinky sex clubs. By "extreme", I mean heavy fetish clubs. (curiously, I'm not into what I've been writing about myself!!!!). Aside from maintaining a seperate website, I've been also submitting the stories to Literotica for a wider range of feedback.

The clubs are gay related, so I've been posting the stories under the 'gay stories' section of Literotica, particularly since the 'kinky' section of Literotica seems to be heterosexually dominated.

It's been an interesting result. Whilst those I'm targetting (through the seperate webpage promoted directly to these extreme kinky groups) have been sending endless amounts of positive feedback, most of the feedback I've been receiving from Literotica has been negative (including requests to stop posting such stories!). It's the few positive feedbacks I've been receiving that have kept me posting these stories on Literotica- as there is obviously a small audience accessing Literotica who aren't aware of the other kinky sex clubs that are promoting my stories to their members.

My question is this. Since the stories are kinky - should I be posting them under the 'kinky' section of Literotic rather than the 'gay' section? And if I do, will the gay readership not find them, thus missing the primary audience?

Personally, I think the story's should to be placed in the gay section.

Cross referencing would be good

Hi 'eyefish',

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I do agree with you on that, based on how literotica currently has their genre sorted. The 'fetish' section tends to be primarily heterosexual stories, so would probably never be found by most gay or bi readers in there.

It's a pity stories can't be cross-referenced over 2 or 3 genre, which could show up underneath the title. That way potential readers would see which categories the story has been listed under and get more of an idea what kind of content to expect.

Currently, the description field is so short, writers can either write a few words on the plot or the genre, but can't fit both in.
