Think of a snowman. It starts out a flake. Then the flake gets gathered together with other flakes and becomes a snowball then the snowball gets rolled around in the snow growing it larger and larger until it becomes a gigantic mass. Add a couple of those masses together with some coal, buttons, and a carrot then you've got a snowman. The same thing can happen with a website, case in point Literotica.com.
Literotica.com started in 1998 as a site that was dedicated to delivering quality erotic tales to the internet. Since then they've published a book of the tales, and grown the site to include several other features. They've got pictures for you to peruse, a toy and video sales store, a bulletin board community for you and other porn mongerers, webcams, personal ads, erotic internet chat, and a comprehensive list of other sites that are partners in the whole erotic game.
What's also great about this ever-expanding site is the combination of a consistent professional look and feel with the simplicity of a homier site. The black and white basics of the site makes everything easy to read and very accessible. A more accessible menu near the top or the side of the screen would make things a bit easier for the viewer, but they do a nice job of drawing your vision down the page. Besides the vast majority of the folks visiting here were looking for their stories and were pleasantly surprised to find everything else that is here.
There are a few things that simply blow away the competition when it comes to erotic fiction sites. First of all there is a bank of editors that you can choose from who will read your work and help you get it up to snuff. On too many of these sites on the web you'll notice all kinds of grammatical and spelling errors that just makes it more difficult to follow along and have a good time reading, that's not a problem on literotica. Second is they have honest to goodness competitions that writers can win with real prizes. This bumps up the actual incentive for writers not only to churn out material, but to churn out GOOD material that they feel is prize worthy. That also bodes well for you writers out there. A chance to get paid for what you love to do is one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed on a person.
Probably the best thing about this site is the fact that they've built a sizable and real community of folks. As mentioned above there is the volunteer editor program, but the chat rooms aren't just filled with folks doing text-sex, you can see actual conversations about writing craft. The bulletin boards are filled with contributors who actually post and not just surf. They have awards on the site and also they recognize when someone in their community wins and outside award.
Overall, if you're on the look out for a good erotic fiction site to become a fan of or more importantly to become a part of then look no further than literotica.com. This site has several features that will satisfy your lust for porn. But more importantly it has the oh so rare quality of an adult site to actually build a community. It isn't a vestige of trench coated guys wandering around in the porn dvd section. It seems to be a bunch of intelligent people sharing ideas and singing "We are the World" while still wearing leather and lace.
