  • Poll for the Clitorides Awards

    As I work on the moderation end of the Clitorides Awards site, I’ve become aware of something. Many of the nominated stories are no-sex stories. As in not a bit of sex in them. The clitorides awards were created to promote the erotica writing community; even the name ‘clitorides’ is a reminder of that. So…

  • Story Delivery Changes

    I’ve implemented some important changes in the story delivery mechanism today. The new system has the ability to deliver long stories or long chapters in multiple pages.

  • Scoring Changes Implementation Follow Up

    It’s been ten days since the implementation of the new voting system, so I thought I would keep everybody up-to-date with how things are shaping up. First thing to report is that voting is up. The number of basic votes cast per day added to the number of TPA votes cast per day is about…

  • Expanded Voting Form: Wording and Value distibution

The form will have three separate criteria for the reader to select values for and I want it to be clear enough about the meaning of…

    I’ve made an important change to the site today. Tonight will be the last night that weekly counters are all reset to zero. From now on the system will keep track of the last seven days individually for each story. So, the weekly counters will now reflect a story’s downloads in the last seven days…

    I want to thank everybody that commented and contributed to the discussions in the three previous blog entries, and who made suggestions. It has been educational. I’ve made up my mind on how to proceed next with regards to the voting system. While I don’t like to lose any authors or readers, the current state…

  • Derailed

    Well, it has been an interesting experience to say the least. If you haven’t read my two most recent entries about changes to the scoring system on the site, you should read them. The gist of this blog entry is to tell you that ALL changes to the scoring system have been canceled and reverted.…

  • Scoring Changes Follow Up

    I canceled the planned changes. Too many authors asked for the removal of their stories from the site. Sorry for all the trouble. This is a follow up to my previous blog entry about the changes to the scoring system. If you haven’t read that one, please check it to see what this whole thing…
