                       WELCOME TO JOHN DARK REPOSTS

1)   What's going on here anyway?
2)   The reposts for next week.
3)   Getting the most out of the reposts.
                                ===========

          What's going on here anyway?

     I am trying to satisfy both authors and readers as nearly as possible.

     For the readers:  That means that I won't post anything that is in an 
unreadable format, nor anything which I haven't read myself and wouldn't 
want to.  
     That means that I am trying to keep all files shorter than 30K, the 
length which gives almost nobody problems.  
     That means that I post story codes in almost all cases.  The story 
codes on the subject line are my own, not necessarily those (if any) that 
the author used.  This gives some degree of consistency, and I try to 
follow the story code FAQ.
     That means that I will post relatively few incomplete stories, and 
only those where I believe that the section stands by itself.  These should 
be labeled "part" on the subject line.

     For the authors: That means that I won't post any story unless I am 
fairly well convinced that the author welcomes reposting.  Right now, I am 
sticking with stories which give an author's disclaimer and those stories 
whose authors I have actually contacted.
     That means that I try to publish a disclaimer from the author 
expressing his copyright claim.  The _next_ reposter won't have to guess.
     That means that I keep the author's name and the title that he gave 
the story close to the body of story.

                            ==================
The numbers after the description are from Celestial reviews.  The first 
three are her ratings for the story, the last one is the number of the 
review where the ratings occurred.

The reposts for next week.
     These are the scheduled posting dates.  The stories may land on your 
new reader in minutes, in days, or never.

                                ===========
          Getting the most out of the reposts.

     If you haven't checked out the Celestial Reviews yet, you should do 
so.
     These give a fairly consistent view of some of the new stories (and a 
few of the old ones) being posted on any given week.  Celeste gives a 
separate mark for grammar and English usage, and she rates stories of most 
kinks by how well they appeal to people who don't share the kinks.
     Even if you don't share those particular biases, the reviews are worth 
checking out for the written descriptions of the stories.

     The other regular review is Annex Reviews.  Lady Cyrrh ignores the 
vanilla stories, but covers ds and bondage fairly well.  She won't review 
any one author more than once a quarter, and has significantly fewer 
reviews than Celeste does.  (She also reviews web-pages, mostly authors' 
web pages.)
