I'm about to start posting some of my stories and thought I'd give a quick introduction

I've been a long time reader of this site along with a few others (tgcomics, fictionmania). Over the years I've written over a dozen stories and currently have 7 posted at Fictionmania under the name Sara Keltaine. Like most new authors, each story has been a learning process but I feel like I've hit a hurdle at Fictionmania. The issue is their core audience wants stories that are a bit different than what I write (i.e. - they want darker hardcore short stories of transformation while I tend to write happier novella fiction stories that happen to have a transformation somewhere). I've gotten a good response but I've noticed a large dropoff in story views over 10,000 words which is why I'm trying to find if another site's audience/format might suit me better.

As a result, I am testing posting stories on this site to see if my longer stories do better (I may find my stories just aren't that good :P).

My first step is to repost some of my stories from fictionmania as I'm sure some here haven't read them. If you are curious can find all my posted stories at fictionmania at this link: http://www.fictionmania.tv/searchdisplay/authordisplay.html?word=4747

The three I'm planning to repost are my personal favorites: Small Town Journey, A Brother's Request, and Mystic Godfather. The other on fictionmannia aren't bad but didn't feel as strong though some may disagree (please don't read Portrait of a Crossdresser - that was a stream of thought blog post that was not ready for publication and I should have them take down).

As this site seems to favor posting in chapters I am planning to release these stories in Chapter sized chunks. A Brother's Request is short and will be 1 Chapter. Small Town Boy will be about 7-8 Chapters and Mystic Godfather should be about 3.

After that I'm planning to release all new content. I've got 8 other stories in various state of completion and the first one I will probably release is a fantasy based trilogy that currently sits at about 170,000 words. I like the story but it is also the reason for posting here as I doubt anyone would ever read something that long on fictionmania.
