Even if you spend hours on it

Not a member? No problem. Read for free here. Hopefully I will save you a lot of time and effort.

Yep. I said it, and I won’t take it back. This place is in the crapper. It doesn’t matter if you write a great story, or a bad one, you still won’t make any money.

Do you want the truth? Well, here ya go!

These are my BEST performing stories in a LONG time.

Once upon a time, this was a good place to write, and you could even make decent money. Then, the boost program came along.

Now, unless you are buddies with the boost nominators, you are screwed.

And oh, you also have to write for boost publications.

Everything is very much based on nepotism now. They’ll say it isn’t, but it’s clear to all of us on here.

If you pay for a membership here, this is what you are paying for. Favoritism. Popularity. Nepotism. Period.
