I'm still looking for other sites to post my stories to and build audience, by the way. I'm not a Redditor, but if anyone has subreddits they want to recommend for my stories and/or advice on engaging with them, drop me a message.
Other site recommendations are also fine but I feel like I've run through everywhere remotely popular now. As a quick guide to some things I've said no to:
* ASSTR is largely defunct now.
* BDSM Library appears to have been dead since 2017.
* Lush Stories requires paid membership after 12 months, is a bit mainstream, and the content policies rule out most of my stories.
* Sites that provide hosting, but don't put you in search results for new readers, are a bit pointless - the idea is to find new readers. This appears to apply to Mastodon and Discord, and to a somewhat lesser extent to Blogger.
* I'm not posting stories on Fetlife because the nature of the community there means I'm disproportionately likely to attract someone who takes offence to my content. (Makes it a better than average site for identifying predators, as these things go, although that's still a very relative rating - but bad for my stories.)
* BDSM Cafe and Juicy Sex Stories are curated and I wouldn't control my own content.
* Erotica Story (eroticastory.ca) currently doesn't have any policies, content guidelines or ownership listed. I don't trust it.
* NovelTrove is vanilla erotica only.
* Pillowfort has a joining fee, seems very feature-light, and appears to be ambivalent on whether it supports adult content.
* Sharesome requires photo ID to upload content as a creator.
* StoriesOnline.net doesn't allow links to off-site monetisation.
Upon recommendations from readers since this post first went live, I'm going to go check out Utopia Stories, Gromets Plaza, CHYOA, and maybe give Pillowfort another chance.
Platforms *must* draw new readers, be fairly clear about what content they allow, allow me to link back to my creator site, and allow me to retain copyright in my work.
EDIT: For clarity, I'm already on these platforms:
* Literotica - but they only take non-consent if the victim's enjoying it, plus the system where a random moderator has to approve each story is a nightmare to deal with, plus it's almost impossible to link people off the site.
* XNXX / Sexstories
* MCStories - which is a great site with a great mod, but "submitting stories" means emailing the mod and waiting for him to publish them.
* Amazon e-publishing - I put a test story collection up to see what it was like. Formatting for Kindle is a nightmare and the system is pretty unintuitive. Not a success so far.
Nothing I've published on those sites hasn't also been published on BDSMLR, so don't feel like you're missing out on anything.
