Deeker's Message of the Week

Dude, Where's My Story?

In the past week I have received a number of story submissions that I would like to post but have chosen not to post simply because they are too short. (others were rejected because of content). Most of the ones I decided not to post we're hardly a couple of paragraphs and I felt that they weren't worth being listed as a "story" or a true account. Again, I don't expect anyone to submit a novel to describe his experiences with diapers, but I feel it should be at least a full page (about 4K) or more. Granted, I've been lax about this at times and I have posted stories that I felt were too short, but also too good to not let others read.

I do have a possible solution in mind to address this matter, however. Since I recognize that not everyone's experiences with diapers are sufficient to be described in a full story, I may later set up a page on which several shorter accounts are combined. I think this would be better than to encourage people who don't have a lot to say about their experiences with diapers to pad their stories with superfluous, redundant or embellished details.
