I know, nothing lasts forever, but I remember when checking the new stories section was a daily nice thing to do, and every day there was something new to read, so I know thing changes.
What I ask myself is: So? No new stories in a month?
I'm so sad, forgive my rant.
Take care and thank you for the time you spent trying to keep the Archive alive.

No new stories

Re: No new stories
Remember, the only compensation that authors receive for the stories that they post here is the feedback and reviews. I know that several of the formerly frequent authors have complained that there's been no feedback, so they've stopped writing for the Archive. A good story requires a lot of work.
If you want more stories, PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND WRITE REVIEWS for those authors whose stories you enjoy.

Re: No new stories
You're probably right, I've written a couple of stories myself in the past and at that time there was no feedbak at all, I enjoyed the same in writing and publishing, I think that's not only a question of feedback, may be if I could see my story published soon after I submitted it could help. This is internet and were all used to see everything happening in real time, not waiting a couple of weeks. I know very well this is all free and everybody working here dedicates his personal time doing it, I more than grateful for this, still, I think an automated system for publishing story (like in the old archive site), even if moderated, could give us more stories. But that's just an opinion.

Re: No new stories
[This is a reprint from my blog.]
In a month, we have had only THREE new stories submitted. I was hoping to have more to give you, as sitting down to edit them and present them to you as a finished product takes time and effort I don't always have. The more stories I can do at once, the better I can manage my time.
Only 3 stories came in.
So, why so few stories? I will take some of the blame here as I am willing to admit that publishing new stories does tend to get the excitement up a bit. I could perhaps just publish them as they appear, and that might garner some more excitement. This is possible, though it makes my free time more difficult to manage.
What I have heard from other authors and readers is that they get MUCH more enticement to read and write when they see people take the time to post a review. Clicking the stars is great, but it just doesn't have that personal touch that inspires people to spend their time crafting an enjoyable story for people to read. When someone posts a personal review to the forums about a story, more people read that story. More readers means higher ratings for the story. More readers means the author is getting his hard crafted words to more people. It inspires the author to write even more, so he can reach even more people. It all starts with just a few words from YOU about the words they've written.
Bottom line here is, we need YOU to write reviews for the authors. Show us your appreciation. Show the authors that you care.
Right now the readers are not doing this. Why aren't you doing this? You should be. It is the only payment our authors get.
So, here is the deal. I will attempt to put aside a couple of hours a night to edit and post any new stories I get, but if I do not see some reviews show up I will go back to posting whenever I get around to it. You can either show your love for the authors by taking a few moments to write some nice words, and get the stories as quickly as they are submitted, or you can wait around until I bloody well feel like it and keep your feelings about the stories to yourself..
(Remember, none of us get paid for doing this. We are volunteers. You get what we are willing to give.)
So, what should a review look like?
It can be very simple.
First, put the name of the story and the author as the title of your forum post with a dash ( - ) and the word "Review"
"My Castration Story, by User - Review"
Next, make sure you link the story in your review. It makes the story easy for others to find.
"Evenin' Dearie", by Kortpeel https://eunuchworld.co/s2652
Then just write a few words about what you liked about the story.
"I really loved how the main character was hovering between anticipation and fear the whole time. The part with the combine thresher was really amazing."
Make sure that if you want to talk about specifics in your review that you post a spoiler warning, and sufficient space beneath the warning so people don't accidentally read something they won't want to before reading the actual story.
Warning! SPOILERS ahead.

When Danny's scrotum is stretched out and he is crying out in agony and bliss, and Jenny is watching him in pain, I actually cried.
You can also try customizing your text color to match the background, but you should still leave the spoiler warning and spaces.

Can you read this?
I fully expect to see some new story reviews show up in the forums. You don't have to say much, but you SHOULD say SOMETHING.
Thank-you.

Hi, Thomas23. I know which story you're referring to, but I can't think of the title. I believe a girl does the emasculation, and she's a minor. I believe she and her victim are actually in a jacuzzi, which initially contains more (older) people before she and the man are left alone. Maybe this info will jog somebody's memory.
Re: No new stories
Please start a new thread or use an old one on that topic for asking about old stories.
Thanks.
Thanks.
