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.

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

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

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.

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

I THINK, I have an idea that most people

Still, I am getting some wonderful ideas and please keep sending them for

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?
- A repository for all stories?
- A collection of good stories or a specific genera?
- Who determines a good story?
- And what is the genre? Superheroes? Mind
control? transformation? Established or new heros
- A place for collaberating on stories such as the old Metro City/Amazing
Woman or Addventure
- 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.

Update and ClosingStories should be update by the end of Sunday, but on a sadder note, the

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.SuperStories superstories@gmail.com

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
SuperStories superstories@gmail.com
8/12/2007
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.

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

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

Things won't work... yetI 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.

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,
SuperStories

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 stoppedFTP 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
