Readd All Stories

All stories will be readded, to make things organized with the new systems organized, and arranged.  It will take some time to do this and reprogram the new setting.  While doing this, I could try and keep up reprogramming and readding stories.  But it is a matter of sticking the finger in the dike while at the same time building a boat.  I will not be adding stories until I get the new system done, which should be done before December 1st (I hope)

Google Ads?

I am wondering how many people would object to Google ads along the left hand side and if there would be any objects with the money funneled back into equipment and etc.

Registration

In order to make this more of a community, registration will be required.  E-mails are NOT required.  It is not to sell it or spam it.  Only a username and password are required to register.

Stories will be up for one month in a public area, for anyone to access.  For those that want to access past stories, they would have to register

I am changing my idea, I am thinking the web server will have priority to those who register, but those who do not register can still view all stories.

There will be no fee for registration.

(I am thinking of requiring an e-mail to register, to do activation and avoid troublemakers, but wondering what others think)

Terms of Agreement

• Be nice and respectful of people
• There should be no income from the site, any and all money will be put back into the web site
• Authors will not be paid for any stories, (but if there are contests it will be handled differently)
• There is no promise of instant actions.  Updates are planned every weekend, but there are no promises.
• The stories are yours or you have permission to post them.
• While stories can be appealed for rating, SuperStories has the final say
• The stories remain the property of the author(s), but SuperStories has the write to display/archive them

Any other ideas?

Tracking Information

Information will be tracked, but only to prevent hacking, DNS attacks, and causing problems.  If someone is causing problems, I can use the logs to find by IP address, but will not be doing cookie spying and other nasty tricks.

Submitting Story

Stories would be submitted online, rather then e-mailing it to me and waiting for me to post on the weekend.  This may get things going faster and better as the author will be able to to put down a summery, details, and other things

Classification

I plan on stories being reorganized with the following items

Stories would be able to have the following classifications where it is a major point:

1. Beta - Author request help editing, polishing and improving the story
2. Bondage
3. Breast Enlargement
4. DC Characters
5. Female/Female
6. Humor
7. Incomplete Stories
8. Male/Female
9. Male/Male
10. Marvel Characters
11. Mind Control
12. Misc Characters (Wildstorm, Image, Darkhorse)
13. Monster/Tentacle
14. Non-English Story
15. Original Characters
16. Pregnancy
17. Rape
18. Romance
19. Saturday morning cartoons
20. Secret Identity
21. She-Males
22. Stories with Images
23. Transformation
24. Transgender

An idea is also to create lists of when an item happens (such as mind control) in a comic book, have a list.

Character List

This will provide a list of characters who play a major part in the story ( more then just in the background or a few lines of dialog.  If the character is an original character, they must be in several (3?) stories.  I plan on also having a short bio of characters, particularly origional ones.

User Interaction

Registered users would be able to help out with a story, they can add classification, help create list of characters, and various other items.  I am also hoping to have features such as Reader's picks, and a few other things.

Qualify/Censoring

For the site, I can not host all the stories, so to put it on I am having to do some qualifying items.   Some may think it is censorship, but I am doing it for a limit of what I can do.

1. Superhero rated stories
   • The stories are superhero stories, such as Marvel Superheroes, DC Superheroes, and others such as Buffy, Power Rangers, and Xena
2. No objections from the author
   • If an author objects to it being posted, or someone claims credit for a story that is not there, or some other issue.  If there are multiple authors or other issues, I will make a case by case decision. 
3. Story must be long enough
   • For a story to be on, it needs to be of sufficient length.  I am not sure about the amount, but if it is half a paragraph, a dribble, or just the beginning.  I am not asking for a full novel, but the story has to be more then three paragraphs.
4. Story must be of sufficient quality
   • The story must be good enough to be read.  If a spell checker turns red, if it is just one rambling paragraph.  I am not saying it has to be perfect, but I will not post up stories that I have a tough time even figuring out where it is and who the characters are, then I will not put it up.  Most stories are good enough and will go up if they meet the other areas.

Forming a Community

The idea is to form a community, link people with similar likes together.  Sending messages to authors to say how they liked a story.  Feedback and interaction, working with others and meeting.  Helping the superhero community.
