It’s me again. <hr> codes don’t seem to work either. I put in a string of hyphens to make a ruled break.

Reminds me of an ancient joke I heard when I was a mere lad. A young woman comes into an embroidery shop and asks the proprietor if they can do custom work on something delicate. Asked what she means, she pulls a pair of nylons* out and says, “Up here at the top where it’s reinforced for the garter.” Examining it, the owner says, “It’s kind of touchy but I think we could manage it. What do you want it to say?” “Something I saw on the back of a truck, ‘If you can read this you’re too close.’” “Okay, would you like that in Roman or perhaps script lettering?” “Braille.” *I said it was ancient.

Le sigh.

Since I have an introduction to what will be a series of stories (Avatar Tales) in the Avatar universe listing the stories, I thought it would be nice to include a link to the story in the intro. I edited it with <a href=… in the intro figuring that would do the trick, but it didn’t. Is there a way to include a link in the archived story?

Aha. I’d looked at the profile expecting that’s where it would be, but just really looked at the edit buttons, not at the green bar above it.

Fair enough. Is there a place where the story stats – specifically the number of views and reviews – can be pulled up besides finding in the archive? The story manager would be a good place since it brings up all the stories you have in that category. And while I am at it, is catergory on purpose? It makes me itch every time I see it.

Back in the day when dinosaurs still roamed the earth and your only connection to the interweb was dial-up, your only source for written smut were newsgroups. The two big ones were alt.sex.stories (a.s.s.) and alt.sex.stories.moderated (a.s.s.m.). There, tags were manually put in by the writers rather than selected from a drop down list and to indicate the active characters in a story the letters were repeated, to a point. MF, MM, MMF, MFFF, as examples which gave a clearer idea what to expect in a story. By convention the limit was three with a plus added for even larger groups, MFFF+ for some guy captured by an Amazon band. Also, MF were the letters used for adults, mf for adolescent teens, and bg for pre-teens, better, I think than Minor1 and Minor2. Finally, could another checkbox with a blank to fill be added for those really unusual actions? In the first story I’ve posted in my Avatar Tales, First Date (plug!) Zuko brings Lin to climax by fingering her – in the list – but she returns the favor by letting him thrust in her ample cleavage – not in the list. It wasn’t a hand job, exactly, and certainly not a blow job so I could see no way the indicate it.
