Hi there,
actually there are several decent sites that are worth checking out for
good stories that have plot and substance.
Here is a short list.
There is a site that combines a good number of other sites, and a chat
board, with a very caring community of people who care about each
other. This site is called Jeffsfortboard.com.
In all fairness, I need to point out that I am involved with this site
and I edit many of the stories that are on the various sites, connected
with The Fort.

Another very good site is CRVBOY.ORG Many good authors are represented
there.

Still another fine site is one called IOMFATS.com (it's only me from
across the sea) the webmaster has some very good stories and he hosts
some extremely good stories/authors.

There are several more sites with good stories, and each of the ones I
mentioned has a pretty good set of external links to other sites which
are also good.

Hope that helps

Your Friend,
Darryl

fact you even want to keep a yahoo group is great. I understand completely
about what you mean about a story not feeling right. I previously attempted to
right a story and submit it to nifty a few years ago. I got pretty good
responses after it was posted but nothing that encouraged me to continue
writing it so I discontinued the story, because it didnt feel right. So I
understand.

quality stories that are plot-focused and not just about sex?

frustrated as a reader and I understand that, but as a writer I get frustrated
when a story I'm writing either stops making sense as I write or I lose
direction or if real life distractions gets in the way. I'm not making excuses
for my lack of writing by any means, but I have a three-year old, a two-year old
and a one month old baby I'm helping raise, plus I work a 40 hour a week job so
yeah, sometimes I suck and can't write or I get distracted and focus my
attentions on other things which may not be fair to you guys, but I have to do
other things so I don't burn out. I'm really sorry if I leave for long periods
of time without contact. I have a blog (which went on hiatus about a month ago,
but I'll undelete so you guys can know what I've been up to) but I started it so
you guys would know that I'm very much alive and breathing. Again, I'm sorry
you've had to wait so long, but I
>> can't force something and I won't share anything that doesn't feel right or
true to the story I wanted to create four years ago when I started. I have the
full story completed and have for some time, but it doesn't "feel" right. I
don't think it gives enough closure to the story of Chris and Joey or Amanda and
Peanut or Nate for that matter so I don't want to just post it because once it's
out there, that's it, can't fix it, ya know?

sites. I know this is not your priority, but in the interest of keeping fans.
Some contact is cool. I was just wondering if I should delete this group or
not.
