I’m sure that you’ve probably noticed that there are some changes to the website *laugh*

To get the full effect, register on the forum ( link on every page ). During the registration process, you’ll be asked to set your image filtering. You have a choice of NO filtering, filtering ALL nude images, filtering FEMALE(and mixed sex) nude images, or filtering MALE(and mixed sex) nude images.

All that’s required to sign up is a username, password, and valid email ( checked by a confirmation email to complete registration. Necessary to prevent spammers from signing up – sorry! ) You never need to post on the forum if you don’t want to. You can just use the settings on your profile page to control the various features of the website.

Of course, you’re more than welcome to post!

There’s one more custom setting on your profile page that you’ll probably want to look into: Floating Menu

This setting is near the bottom of your profile tab settings. It’s set to “off” by default, but most of you will probably want to turn it on. What it does is create a floating menu on the left side of the screen that stays in place, providing a quick way to jump back and forth between major sections of the website. Much more convenient than navigating through “Back” links.

This menu will expand as I add new sections to the website.

For now, what’s available is primarily a listing of my stories in both pen names with quite a bit of additional information. There’s even more information if you list them “by series” on the My Work page. You should see a link on “Danica” to a timeline of my fantasy world, for example. Links to stories by other authors in the chains are available for “Laresa’s World” and “A Royal Sacrifice”

The front page will now display the latest story I’ve released, as well as the excerpt from this blog.

Sign up, click around, and let me know what you think! You can do it here, or on the forum. It’s probably easier to have discussions on the forum, but feel free to keep commenting here. Always nice to see comments on the blog, too.

Hope everyone’s enjoying the new chapter of SOTM! Remember to vote, for sure, but keep those public commments coming at Lit. Those attract new readers, which attracts more feedback, which fuels me to keep writing.

I can’t stress enough how important feedback in the form of votes, comments, and emails is to a free author as far as inspiration to keep writing.
