Favorite Story Lists / Re: Favorites (so far)
Last post by Observer - October 08, 2026, 09:17:52 PMQuote from: le Bouc on April 08, 2026, 04:32:30 AMWhat about a 'year-end-review' of top 10 voted favs, top read/downloaded, top commented on, top contributors, etc. I think that would spark more user engagement and maybe increase readership.
Qu'en pensez-vous?
Le Bouc
This is an intriguing idea, but I'm feeling very... divided about it.
On one hand, there are so many stories just on this site, and some kind of mechanism to see which one are well rated would be nice.
On the other hand, as soon as you create a metric, people start chasing the metric instead of what the metric is supposed to measure. It is very, very human as a writer to want affirmation, praise, validation. It can be a lot of work to write a story, and it can be quite challenging to evaluate your own work, so it's easy to have doubts about your art - is this good or drivel? But this can lead to clout/fame chasing (vs writing good stories) - chasing the views, the likes, vs trying to be a good author.

Latex Website Stories Feedback / Re: The Institute by Observer
Last post by Observer - October 08, 2026, 09:09:57 PMI worked on my story last night, and I realized that Tome 5 will need an extra chapter. Ooops 
Thank you for your comments. Writing a "big" story (this might end up being a novel) is challenging on many levels, and one of them is holding your readers' attention, especially when it's not released all at once (I'm not done ha!). So if you, not a fan of big stories, devoured it, clearly I'm doing *something* right.
This story is, in a way, a "reaction" to other stories I have read (art is never created in a vacuum). And while some writers were definitely positive influences (Erika Moak and Tiggerstretch specifically for this story), others served as example of what *not* to do. And one of these things to avoid are characters devoid of interiority, or who suddenly just "do" things that seem implausible, out of character. People who's behaviour is as unrealistic as wearing latex 24/7.
When one creates characters with feelings, goals, opinions, as a writer it can be a constraint. There are a few things I had planned for my story but then I realized "wait a minute, Judith wouldn't do that!" and I had to change the story as a result. But in another way this is good because in a way the characters "guide" the writer - writing becomes a process of discovery at time, and it can result in a story that feels more "true".
cheers,
Quote from: Lexi_ on October 08, 2026, 08:47:47 AMAdmittedly when I first came across this story I wasn't entirely sure if I would be interested. I'm not usually the biggest fan of quite lengthy stories that I find here but, ever since I started yesterday, I haven't been able to put it down.
I have really enjoyed the time you have spent exploring the character's relationship with kink. It's something that I honestly never realised I would've loved so much but, it's now become the main reason I keep wanting to read more. I love getting to see how Judith explores her sexuality, identity and the shame associated with it.
I am very eagerly awaiting the release of the new chapters and I can't wait to hear more about the secret Halloween costumes.

Writing is a craft that takes practice... so do it. In French there is a proverb that translates to "it's by blacksmithing that one becomes a blacksmith"
When I was younger I didn't write fiction because I didn't feel I had a "good" story to tell. Now I regret it because even if I had been writing mediocre stories, it would have been very valuable practice for the time where I *did* have a good story to tell.
So go ahead, start writing. You don't even have to publish it... but I do look forward to your contribution

Don't worry about your experience with writing stories. Just be certain to be satisfied with your work and take your time to make sure it feels right to you.
Many of us are happy to help new writers and will give feedback to assist you.
I started out unsure, but the positive feedback I received helped me improve my work.
Just remember to follow the rules about submissions.

Intros / Hey everyone
Last post by Lexi_ - October 08, 2026, 10:38:30 AMI think I first stumbled across the plaza maybe 6 or 7 years ago after finding a link to a story from another website (i think it might've been on dA). Ever since I've been coming back to see all the wonderful stories people have shared here. I've spent most of my time reading latex stories but, I have explored almost every corner of the plaza.
I would love to make my own contributions someday although my experience with writing is quite limited.

Welcome to the forum!
On fanfiction. I have never written fan-fiction, because I too felt it was eww.
... and that was a mistake.
Writing has several "components", one of which is creating a world and characters. In fan fiction, that aspect is partially done for you, so it's easier...
... but everything else you still have to do. You have to figure out *how* to tell your story - who's the narrator? What details do you reveal, when? And you have to write - create prose, have sentences that are fun to read, evocative but not plodding.
Fan fiction is a great way to train that, so by the time you do have an original story you want to tell, you already know how to write.
One of the reason why my novel-lenght story is so challenging to write is that well, I don't have that writing practice!

BoundStories Website Stories Feedback / Re: Bitche by Zoe Cordelier
Last post by Caras pet - October 07, 2026, 06:53:12 AMQuoteWhen Sonia goes into the stocks, suddenly she is naked.
You are referring to this sequence?
Sonia's arms were forced outward, shoulders straining, and the stocks held her body forward, her breasts exposed, hanging unprotected.
[...]
Like this, she couldn't protect herself. She had to accept whatever happened next
[...]
"With a cane like this," Amelie said lightly, "you don't need much force. Even through a skirt, it'll make its point."
I think "unprotected" is meant literally here, not in the sense of naked.
