Just tired

 
I have just been so tired recently, stress from work, other things, and just....

I am going to keep SuperStories up, particularly the chat server (visit us via IRC chat.superstories.net) and the addventures.  I will also see about getting more stories up and organized, but the truth is the burden became to much for me alone to handle, particularly with real life stuff.  (While stress attacks is not as serious as a heart attack, it was not fun when I experienced it a few months ago)

Take care,

Super

I am doing something...

The Plan [I think....]

First off Happy 4th of July to everyone and Independence Day to those in America

I am going to do a change to Superstories.Net.  The change is not one that I want to do, but because of

  • Constant attack on domain via DOS attacks, SYN, and other attacks
  • Few feedback to the authors
  • Users not being about load pages
  • Costing of money
  • and personal stress attack to myself

This will keep going worse and worse, so change will have to happen.  The changes will not be thinks that I like, but to keep SuperStories.Net going.

  • Buy and register a landing page for www.superstories.net
  • Have the server a floating IP address for the server to have a lower profile [ 4 pages of attack within 5 minutes going up though a small basic router, 75 KB for ftp dictionary attack in under a day ]
  • Google advertising to defray cost on non adult stories
  • Increase the number of genre [ super hero genre ] to include a wide range including G, PG, etc...
  • Make sure it is superhero related genre and not a general fan-fiction for any/everything
  • Make sure that all authors have given permissions for any stories that would be put up on the server
  • Work to make this more a community
    • Provide location for comments and feedback
    • Require registration for some features ( No fees )

I am still working on the details and it is not set in stone.

Progressing

I  am progressing, not fast enough but on a way which a lot of people who have sent me e-mail seem to like.  Thank you very much for your words of encouragement, ideas, and thoughts.

Feeling like a failure...

A single good thing

The bad things

  • Few people seem to like the option that authors can write, upload, and update stories themselves.  I am also thinking of author feedback if people seemed intersted in it
  • Not many stories are coming in.  The only one that seems to be coming in is from an author who does lots of quantity over quality
  • Network seems so busy or under attack from bandwidth
  • Wonder if anyone likes my work or if it is gone
  • I have a few other possible things to work on in terms of hobbies/fetish or other possibilities

Working slow on stories

Fixed a stupid problem (did not get an update installed) and now have it programmed to run smoother and add a few more possibilities happening.

More stories are up, but I have a ton more I need to manually add.  If you find missing links, please let me know.

Back and Stories are up

After traveling for work, I am now back (cursing some of the airlines)

Right now I am behind some, but catching up, tweaking stories put up, then doing stories submitting, and hopefully by the end of the week get completely caught up with everything [ Knock on wood ]

I also have a few more ideas to improve things after my work trip.

Ready to go live (I hope)

I am ready to start accepting stories, for details about it, go here.  http://www.superstories.net/submit.html or you can start putting it in at http://www.superstories.net/storyManager

Hopefully this will be a better year for the server,

Am I mind controlling anyone to come here?

While I like mind control, particularly if you meet me on the chat server, [ What you don't know we have a chat server? I will be doing more details about it later] am I forcing anyone to sign up, register, or other things?    I am taking a slow approach so the server will not be hacked and other things.  If you want to just skip to the new stories, they are at http://www.superstories.net/storynew but I am providing a few more details at http://www.superstories.net/storytest_v1

Hopefully this will be a better year for the server,

Fine Tuning and....

Things are going good, getting stuff in, so please start testing it out.  I am trying to think of the best way to get stories in.  I know some links are bad, but hopefully things will be smooth by the next year and as always, send comments.

You can start putting in stories

You can start putting in stories at  http://www.superstories.net/StoryTest_v1 I am still trying some items, but people can now post their stories up.  While I do have a way of stopping people if they are causing problems, it will take time to fix it.

SuperStories superstories@gmail.com

For those who want to test it out

Starting to get things going smoothly, still hoping to tweak a few items and will add extra options (and will add how things work depending on how things go).  Please try it out as we are testing at http://www.superstories.net/StoryTest_v1

Note it is just basic and adding stories slowly, particularly to prevent anything from being hacked.

Getting there

Thanks to everyone for their waiting and understand ( no thanks to those demanding I put stories up now )  Things are going good and the basic option is up and going, I hopefully will have a few tests ready and going by the end of the week.  Things are going good, but it is taking a little more time to add in a few extras people requested and taking steps to make sure no one can start hacking the system.  By Dec 3rd, the main part should be up and going, I hope.

Getting an idea

I am getting a better idea and from the e-mails I have been getting lots of good ideas and words of encouragement.

I THINK, I have an idea that most people will like (others then those who won't like it just to cause trouble.)

Still, I am getting some wonderful ideas and please keep sending them for what you want and what you don't want for the future of Superstories.

Please e-mail your ideas and comments to me at SuperStories@gmail.com

P.S. I had a plan written up, but got a few more ideas and trying to adjust it, hopefully I can say my master plan *insert evil cackle* tomorrow night.


What do people want?

First the bad/good news.  The server is going to be down for a little bit while a hub is being replaced.  In theory it should be down for around 20 min, but the DNS may need to be flushed on a few computers so the trickle down affect may take a day or two.  But with most people when something similar happened, it was all good in 2 hours or less.

The second thing has me questioning about what this site should be and what should be on it. 

This person questioned if i should start filtering the site and only let so much of a certain type of stories on the site and remove those which might be bad/offense/poorly written/not the correct type/genre and other criteria.

I am doing a call for advice on what people think is important for this site.  What does SuperStories stand for?  What do you want SuperStories to stand for?

Should the site be?

  1. A repository for all stories?
  2. A collection of good stories or a specific genera?
    1. Who determines a good story?
    2. And what is the genre?  Superheroes?  Mind control?  transformation?  Established or new heros
  3. A place for collaberating on stories such as the old Metro City/Amazing Woman or Addventure
  4. For Roleplaying?  Meeting people, etc...?

I am not saying I am shutting down SuperStories.  Just if I want to do a change in direction for the site, now is a good time for me to do that.

Please e-mail your ideas and comments to me at SuperStories@gmail.com

Update and Closing

A small update this week ( I try and post what I get, but pictures add more time )

There has been a few parts of confusion, and I will try and explain things

Update and Closing

Stories should be update by the end of Sunday, but on a sadder note, the administration have chosen to go a different way with the Superheroines in Distress website.  While I would love to help support them here and responded quickly to requests and items, they have decided to go a different way.

No Update

Computer problems, requiring hours of backing up on my own computer and no time to do any updates.  Looks like double updates next Saturday

Forums back up

The forums are back up at http://www.superstories.net/forum but it requires registration to avoid bot spammers.  It hopefully can be a useful in getting things go smoother with addventure and other issues with the site.

And behind

Hi,

I had to do some things outside, and it is hot, I got some stories up, but hopefully will get the rest up Monday.

Also, I am not responsible for old material, there have been a few people asking me about Red Five's old movies and Demon Den.  I do not really have access to it to give to others (even if it was my place) so you must contact the original creators/maintainers.

Also because of people constantly hacking or trying to hack (12 meg of log file attempts yesterday) I will be tweaking permissions.  If anyone is having issues, please let me know so I can untweak.

More Stories and Spam hitting Addventures

More stories are updated, but Addventures are having issues.  Mostly someone is starting to spam the server.  I put a small thing that will require a small amount of math *gasp* to prevent it from being attacked by a computer program posting in.

A lot of stories and Iceman please contact me

Also, Iceman from addventure, please contact me about hopefully a small issue in a chapter that was created.

Another week with no Stories

Another week with no stories, but they will come up next weekend if not during the week.

Addventures are still going strong, but it has been having problems, a few servers (ex. Comcast) are blocking it from being e-mailed to people.

No stories are done this week, but I do have some that came just busy with some stuff.

Stories updated, tweaks to addventure

I have added more stories, but I have not got them all.  Several still need to be put up.

Also there is various tweaks have been done to addventure and it now can send passwords and stories out to anyone who wants a copy of a story in your e-mail.

Also if you want to get a copy as each story is added, you can get the latest chapter to your e-mail by joining http://groups.yahoo.com/group/superstoriesaddventure

Things won't work... yet

I have moved to a new server.  Yes!!!!  But that means I still will be having some difficulties as my new server will need everything moved over.  I am still trying to install FTP and the Addventures will hopefully be up later today.

If there are problems, I probably already know about it, and still trying to fix it, but hopefully everything should be working next week.

Thanks,

Happy New Year

New stories are up as we go on for another new year.  Hopefully everyone had a wonderful holidays as we get back to work.

But on a slightly sad note, SuperStories.Net will not be updated next weekend, and probably the following weekend.  Why?  I will be busy moving everything to the new web server that will let me do a few minor things (passwords and addventure stories will be able to be mailed out ) and test out a few better things.

Take care,

Merry Christmas and new server coming online

Thanks to donations, we will be getting a new webserver, the server may be down a little bit as we move over.  I will be needing to reset password for the web masters and adjust a few things to try and make the server better and faster.  I also hope to do a few other things slowly to make things better and more intersting.

FTP for webmasters stopped

FTP site for web master stopped for a little bit.  I have noticed a large amount of computers trying to get in from South Korea and other computers.  I have stopped it for a little bit to see how it effects the computer and what effects it has on the server.

Stories updated and a choice

Stories have been updated, bandwidth increased (so things should be faster with fewer refreshes), Christmas shopping has began, and a choice needs to be made for Superstories.  Do to donations [ We accept donations here if you want to donate to help keep this site running ]  SuperStories has a choice and I would like to hear your voice.  Which would you prefer to have happen:

1.) A new chat service which should permit

  • Standard IRC chatting
  • Web based Chatting
  • Better bandwidth utilization
  • Nick Serv and Channel Serv

2.) A new firewall

  • Increased logging
  • Better protection vs. attacks

So tell me what you think by e-mailing me at superstories@gmail.com
