EPUB Files + Pages/Tags/pixiv
I have updated every post (both public and exclusive) stories to have an EPUB file, along with the usual pdf. Hopefully this will make reading on phones or other devices easier.
I will say upfront, the layout is not the prettiest, with lots of little visuals and custom fonts missing. The usual spaces between chapters are now indicated by a simple dash line. In any case, i can safely say that all the files are serviceable for reading the stories.
Give 'em a try and let me know if you encounter any major issues. I've used ReadEra to test them on my android phone, and they look ok.
In addition i've decided to add the number of pages for each post, in case word count is too confusing (i use Calibri 11 for my basic text).
Finally, in order to help with finding stories more easily through tags, i've actually narrowed down their number and made them a bit more straightforward. Some important notes:
- There is no Bondage tag anymore, since almost all of my stories use it (and for some reason there's a maximum of 6 tags per post).
- The OrgasmTorture tag is an umbrella tag for OrgasmControl, OrgasmDenial and general StimulationTorture. At least one of those elements appear in a story with this tag.
- The MultipleDamsels tag refers to stories with 3 or more major characters in distress. Not two.
- The Slavery tag (besides the obvious) is also an umbrella tag for Punishment, Discipline and Training in a Non-Con setting.
- The Teen tag usually refers to an 18-year-old girl main character and possibly schoolgirl.
- The Corruption tag refers to a damsel that gets mindbroken/conditioned to seek out or get aroused by her condition in some way.
- The Torture tag is vague by its very nature, and i've tried to use it for cases that are more severe than the usual "do this or i'll spank you".
That's it for now, if you have any questions (or suggestions) about any tags, let me know. I haven't focused much on the apperance of characters (except for the UglyDom or Mature tags) but perhaps it's something that people wanna know more of. For example, i don't know how to use things like the Transformation tag. Should i use it for strictly unrealistic, instantaneous physical changes? or something more generic?
I would like your feedback on what tags are more important to you and how to best find the stories you want.
Last, since the deletion of my pixiv, i'll be using this page for some archiving of a few (da deleted) stories, nothing that it will impact our exclusive story schedule.
To finish this long-ass update, i'll say that it is in my future plans to compress the older, multiple-post stories into a single post, to save space (and annoying scrolling). For now, i hope it is ok.
Cheers,
Den
Appreciate the update. Subscribestar can be a massive hassle for finding older posts so anything that makes it easier will be very useful.
Really helpful update thanks!
Any chance we could get something like an immobilization tag? My favorite stories are the ones with this plot element. Like The babymaker, Angelica's Precious Dolls, Living Figurines. But it's hard to find all of these.
It's interesting you say these three, since they all fit in different tags in my mind. There is an "Encasement tag" that would help you, referring to this all-encompassing, immobilizing bondage from all angles (usually by a hard surface, unlike mummification). It's the tag i use for stories like Figurines and A statue fit for a Princess. Babymaker has some encasement but only near the end, that's why i didn't put it. Because Angelica's Dolls does not really have bondage, in my eyes it fits better the "Transformation" or "Petrification" tag. I used to have this tag as "ASFR", but i don't know if it helps people much so i tossed it. In general, we're talking different degrees of bondage at this point, which is why it's hard to set clear definitions.
(In reply to your message). I think you're right. Perhaps what I'm thinking is something more along the lines of a "life-support" tag. Like enema, feeding tube etc.
You must like my Kinktober story "Maternal Instinct" ;) I don't how i would name that tag. Sound like themes from the "medical" tag.
(in reply again, sorry I don't see a reply button for your messages). Where can I find maternal instinct? I can't seem to see it here?
(You have to hit reply to your own starting message, i know it's dumb). Sorry, i guess since i'm making a full archive here i should also post the recent Kinktober stories. They are free on my deviantart page, but i will post them here too. :)
I just posted it, along with the other 2 kinktober stories :)
Thanks!
