I restored a story from Mary Beth Sanford

[Alana]

On FM I restored a story by Mary Beth Sanford that was inspired by one of my dresses. It was gone from online until now, but I had a printed copy. If you look at it, please add a comment on FM.

The link didn't work. I got this:

I'm guessing the link is actually meant to be this one <link removed> not sure if that other domain is meant to be used for shorturls for links or was a lapsed registration that got snatched up by one of those "companies" that try and sell related and typo url's to companies for big bucks and until then just load the landing page with ads and keywords to bring traffic

[Betty]

I'm guessing it was a failed redirect link, or a members only link that fails for non-members.

Also, although we welcome links to other sissy, ABDL, & crossdressing sites, even stores that cater to our tastes, links to other sites in forum form, & forum-style story sites are not allowed here. It doesn't make sense to advertise a site here that offers something the same or similar to what we do. BMW doesn't allow Ford ads in their stores for the same reason.

If the address was for a story site not permitted, it could have been automatically shortened, or abbreviated, making it non-functional.

Very well. I thought people here might like to read an old story by Mary Beth Sanford. But if I'm not allowed to pose it, I'm not allowed to post it, I guess.

Given my link also was shortened from the full name to the 2 letters it seems that it is not an allowed link though the shortening going to a bad site is worse than just not working so perhaps the rewrite rule needs a slight tweak so it breaks the link instead. I have removed the link from my post so no one else goes to the bad site clicking on it

[Betty]

The only error I could see is that someone posted a story at another site, then tried to post a link here so more than a few will actually read it. The system worked because it hasn't allowed that BS in well over a decade.

We already have the oldest, most popular sissy site & sissy story site in the world. Stories also cost me the most in servers, bandwidth, other resources, & time to keep running/maintained. It makes no sense to support the competition funded by large companies, stores, servers, ads, data mining, or a large team of "funded" techs with deep pockets. And where are their references to us? According to them we haven't existed in a decade anymore, & I've been dead a few years. Don't bother updating the mis-information about us at those places, you will be severely scolded. Then your post will either be deleted, or edited to reflect their mis-information about Betty's.

Everybody is welcome to post their story. Most will like it at our own internationally famous story site, that's been running continuously for almost 23 years.

We have the oldest, most popular, & highest ranking sissy or ABDL story site in the world, & it took us 23 years to get it that far. In the USA, we're ranked 11-12 times higher than any other sissy & ABDL site by google & Alexa. We're also considered safer, more secure, friendly, & more mobile/portable ready than any of them.

Why didn't you just easily post it at our own story site, rather than at site that will get only 10% of the views, then tell us to go visit the other site? Betty's was one of her favorite places. Just post it at our story site, that's what it's there for. FM isn't even a sissy or ABDL site, it's for any fiction of any kind.

[Alana]

I don't post it there because I don't know how to put photos in my stories there. In fact, I don't see any stories there that have any photos whatsoever. If you'll tell me how to post at your site and include photos, I'll be glad to post every one of my stories there.

[Betty]

All the stories have my kitty images attached to them. Some have images attached that were uploaded by authors or members too.

[Alana]

I just now tried to load a story, and use the image loader. The story is "My Summer as a Girl." I just loaded part of it, just to see. Unfortunately the original images are all at the dreaded "FM" site, so they didn't load. So I ask again, how do I load these images into my story? Have you got some place I can store these images? FM takes care of this stuff for you, which is another reason I go to them.
