Yes, still can't add stories, to my shelf yet. Of course it's a great site. No question, though hopefully someone will one day sort this little difficulty out.

About story reviews -
I haven't been able to read or add story reviews for several months, even after checking 'remember me'
just a FYI to the techs. -SS
I can't seem to get into my bookshelf. Everytime I click on it, it takes me back to the click forum or register page. Been going on for a few weeks.
What on earth is going on with the site? No updates in almost two months again! Just as things looked like they were starting up again it has all ground to a halt. I used to be a regular visitor, now I stop by every couple of weeks not expecting any new content but crossing my fingers and hoping.
Are there website issues? Is new content not being submitted? Is no one running the site any more?
It's pretty disappointing. I know several authors who've been waiting for over half a year for their stories to be put on the site, with zero communication from the admins.
I get that real life comes first and that the site's been having tech issues, but it'd be nice if they let us know what's going on every once in a while.
When I first joined this site, it was because of the stories. I still read them every once in a while, but I still can't review them. And I don't even bother sending them any stories. What's the use?
Three weeks later and still nothing. Last story update was 21st April.
Anyone know any other good sites that have replaced this one?
This is so sad. This place use to be the best site on the web for stories, and now it's terrible. I come back each week, just hoping things have gotten fixed, but nothing. And no responses from Admins at all.
Has anyone heard anything from Torq or any other Admin? It sure would be nice to get some sort of update as to what's going on. Is the site simply on autopilot now? Is there any work being done on getting stories and updates uploaded? Does anyone know what the heck is going on?
3 days later an no response from an admin. I think autopilot has officially crashed in a fiery blaze. Sad to see the downfall of what use to be one of the best libraries on the web.
Yet there appears to be at least one Admin around, because people are being approved for tasking society access. Sure wish someone would let us know WTF is going on here. Even if it's bad news, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to know.
Isn't Torq the only one who can update the story site? I doubt the other admins know anything.
This is just the inevitable result of having a single person in charge of basically everything. It was never a matter of if the site would die, but when.
No new stories since April ! Really?
I'd just like to know. I mean...is Torq dead, in jail, in the hospital? Is work getting in the way? Did he just lose interest? I mean, does anyone know WTF is happening here?
Where have people moved to? I have some stories that I would like to publish, but I have no idea where to do so now. My stories are a bit too extreme for Literotica :-(
Aye, this is what I'd like to know. If here's not being updated, where else is good for similar stories?
I've visited and uploaded to storiesonline.net, but you need a paid subscription to access all the services. You can still read, though. I've found that the users there aren't as receptive to stories I've posted there as the folks here are to the same stories, though.
I know one or two who've gone to Wattpad. deviantART is an option and has a huge userbase, but it's not really good for more extreme stuff. For that extreme stuff, there are a bunch of fantasy forums like ravishu.com that have Story sections for them.
Unfortunately, there's nothing as good as this place.
Gromets Plaza | Bondage, Selfbondage, Mummification, Latex, Packaged & Erotic Stories
Has pretty much the same content. No search system like here but content wise it's the same.
Thanks, Torq. I happened to check this morning, and saw that there were updates. Occasional status reports like this - telling us what's going on, how to submit stories and updates when the submission feature is down, etc. - is really helpful, and will help reduce consternation on the part of your patrons. Thank you again for your hard work and the status update.
Yup. What they said - thanks for the update. Even "things are bit broken, but being slowly fixed" is really appreciated.
No updates since April will there ever be updates again?

Hi, long time reader, first time poster. Will there be updates any time soon? Would be a real shame to see this great site whither away. I'd be willing to do some work in someway if I can to help. Thanks.
There was an update a couple weeks ago, although for some reason it's not on the front page. You have to go to Library -> Newest Stories to see it.
Hopefully these updates become a trend, and not just a one-time thing.
They don't all seem to be new stories. Take these two:
BDSM Library - Story: The Rape Run
BDSM Library - Story: The Rape Run
Probably just an oversight.
Actually, new stories are being added but the front page isn't being updated. If you click on Newest Stories just beneath the search box on the left from the main stories page you can see the newest additions (September 12 as of this posting)Quote:

I cannot review any story. When I click 'review this story' it tells me to log in at the forum. When I arrive at the forum I'm logged in. Refreshing does nothing and IE and Firefox both don't work. :(
Any ideas anyone? help! Thanks!!
there is still no word on the fixing of the bookshelf and reviewing a story? i see new stories have been added, so is it ok to update stories now?
First. I love the site! I have been absent for a while but am back. I AM logged in BUT can't access my bookshelf. I get a note saying I am NOT logged in. Frustration! I also can't find where to "save for later".
Hi! Like everyone else, I really love this site and appreciate everything... but since this thread was started, nothing has really changed. Just a couple of smallish updates to the stories.
Could we get an update, and ideally some idea of what the long-term plan is for the story site? It has basically been dead for a long time now. Is there a plan to bring it back properly so authors will start publishing like they used to?
4 months since last new stories. Any idea when the next update is likely or should it be considered as active as a Norwegian Blue parrot ?
It's like they want the site to come to a complete death. If you're not going to update your website or get something that's been messed up for well over a year fix, why even have this site? Why not shut the site down, or at least be honest and come out and say "Hey, thank you for all those that have submitted stories over the years. We will no longer accept new stories, but you can still search for old stories."
Stop giving false hope and these fake updates. It's so damn disappointing.
No information being given out anywhere on the problems the site has been having for at least two years now. All I want is some sort of update. Is it a hardware issue? Money? Site operator not having time to spend keeping the story page up? WFT is going on? This used to be a great site...now it appears the only thing running is the message board, and that only minimally. Just an update is all we're asking for! Is that so fucking hard?
Couldn't agree more with Rocky. Any info including a "Hey yeah we've seen your posts." would be appreciated.
My point exactly, soulcatch. Just some information - any information - about the site would be appreciated. If help is needed - time, money, technical expertise, whatever - I'm sure there are plenty of us who could assist to get the place back up and running like it once was. However, if Torq (or whoever is allegedly running the place now) doesn't let us know, we can't help.
Whilst appreciate there are limitations as to how much the site administrator(s) can do, totally ignoring the users and keeping us in the dark do not reflect well on them. Now over 5 months since last new stories submitted and 4 months since list updated.
Either tell us what's happening or admit the site is beyond saving. People will offer assistance but only if asked.
