I have required them to remove ALL my stories from their site. I do not support mandatory pay sites.

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I agree with you Timmy...

Not that this particular site has much in the way of desirible stories, anyhow.

ASSGM has long been the slime pit of gay literature and I was of the opinion that Tim had no stories there for quite some time. Frankly I was a bit purprised to learn that they were there.

But whatever the case as far as that goes....

The fact is that if they did go pay..... Tim's stories there or not will more than likely have little effect on their day to day business.

Years ago I made a policy decision to put decent tales there amongst the crap. I believe it was a valid decision. Like using penicillin to kill off bactria.

Now I have rescinded my permisison for my stories to remain there. I see mandatory pay sites as theft of work. Period
