Hi Kelli,

I ticked the 'something else' button for the poll. It's not like I look for a lot in return aside from the occasional comment or encouraging word, but I do like sites in general that aim to provide quality entertainment (in all things -- not just porn or fiction) and am especially drawn to places where site owners actively take part in developing a 'community' spirit. If I were you I'd probably aim to start small and directly contact authors whose work you enjoy reading yourself. Nurture these and others will find you. Open solicitations work too, and I'd recommend you access & subscribe to a few news groups alt.sex.stories heirarchy (if you aren't already?) although I'd probably be personally wary of soliciting for authors there or anywhere until you've put together at least a basic, quality site so potential authors have a chance to check you out before they make any committment.

Somebody else in this thread also mentioned the worry about having stories 'stolen' and used at pay site. Unfortunately, this happens and I'm aware of a few of mine have been appropriated like this. It used to bother me, but if it's just one or two pieces I tend not to tell my team of litigious lawyers to saddle up and go after them. As far as I'm concerned, I take the view I can write thousands of the same and if people really like mine, they find me and they'll find they can get my stories for free without paying for them. Pragmatism roolz!
