Hi all, I’m not sure how many people frequent The Plume anymore.  I never really did until today and I stopped by to see that it looks mostly dead, unfortunately. 

What I wanted to know is whether anyone really checks out this forum anymore and is there any interest in my posting any work here?  Thanks.

As you pointed out, this area is/has been neglected and so people just don't come around here much at all.

I still check every few weeks or so, since there's a few series that I hold out hope against hopes may continue one day.

Would be very happy to see any new additions! Maybe your posting will be the spark that livens this place up again. Too many sites (even DeviantArt these days) have gone to paid models, so a lot of new stories are stuck behind a paywall... which is silly, since I imagine the authors don't make more than $20 from subscriptions (unless they already have a proven catalogue of extremely good work).

Good to hear from you Buzz!  When you’re talking about subscriptions are you referring to DA?  The amount of stuff that’s only available to view on there with a subscription is ridiculous.  I paid $5 for one artist only to find that it didn’t include the lower tiers, so the $3.50 tier was still blocked to me.  I know DA won’t allow explicit sex in displayed artwork.  Is the same true for stories?  Curious if you knew.

In the meantime, let me rummage around some of my WIPs and see what I can post here. Thanks for responding!

Okay, found a story I started, but want to edit some it first.  Hang on…

[Shadowmuse Blown]

Okay, it’s posted…

Shouldn’t be too hard to find, LOL!

DA is definitely the one that comes to mind... Patreon too. I mean, I have nothing against people trying to make a few dollars from their art. But when you have to pay even to see the quality of the work... or you subscribe and then the artist/author disappears without a trace. Such is this world, I guess. I just miss the early days of the internet in the 00's where all it would take was a google search and you'd have hundreds of pages archived with erotic stories on them. These days, half the places don't exist anymore, or they're under lock and key. Plus Google doesn't really return good results anymore.

I remember how 20 years or so ago, this site had a lot of easily found BE stories but now, not so easy anymore.

I hear ya.  I have some stories posted on my free site which has a link in my signature.  I haven’t updated it in a while, so I’ll probably add this story to it.

What annoys me about some of the artists posting subscription content to DA is that - going by the huge number of images they post - they must be using AI to create them.

(I look in here maybe once a month on average, so am just catching up.)
