Default True Stories and Fiction Poll

If I do this right then this post will be a poll to help determine whether or not True Stories should be in a separate forum and separated from fiction stories.

I don't think it is necessary as long as the poster indicates it in the subject of the post.

Stories that I have posted are clearly labeled "true stories" in the title.

But it depends on whether or not you want to read the fiction.

If your interest is true stories then you have problems.

On this site and others that have stories there are always more fiction stories then real stories.And they are usually not titled in a way that you can tell which is which. I end up sifting through story after story that I`m not interested in just to collect a handfull of real stories.

Some sites I have ended up leaving without even looking at all their stories.

This particular site had a few good ones but it still took more time then it was worth to get them.

It would be a smart choice to give real stories a forum or even just a
sub-forum because it would give this site an instant monopoly on them. Additional I would make enough contributions to ensure that it became a sucess.

None of the Wrestling Sites give true stories their own section and it shows that none of them understand the nature of people who like Real Stories. And on that score I`ll give you a clue.

Most if not all women who would visit a site like this will be attracted to the stories and they tend to really like the real stories. It`s a fact of life, Woman are not hung up on visual sexual stimulus the way that men are. Erotic stories are the traditional "porn" of women.

I dunno if that makes stories more valuable to you, but in my opinion it`s an asset. When my Yahoo story group was at it`s peak there were a lot of female members. And they were there because females tend to like stories.

I personally like both true and fictional stories, but I do see your point. However, just labeling a certain sub board as being for true stories doesn't guarantee that stories posted there are actual true accounts. I can understand that it might reduce some of the time you need to sift through the undesirable fiction, though. I am not against your proposed true story board, but it would just be somewhere else I would visit to look for stories.

See, a well written story definitely counts as porn for me, too.

As someone who writes a lot of true stories about my matches with my wife, I kind of find it dishertening that it is lumped in with fiction

I could write all the fiction I want, but I think the true stories are much better

I didn't vote in the poll because none of the answers fit my opinion that well. It would be fine with me to have separate categories.

Over the last decade I have written dozens of fiction stories. Occasionally I have seen some of them reposted by other people, claiming that they were real. Amusingly, they get more online praise when others steal them and claim them to be real than when I post them as fiction. Go figure.

While Desertgoodguy and a few other people have posted stories that I do believe to be genuine accounts of real life encounters, many of the supposedly true stories I have read have a ring of inauthenticity to them...such as high school wrestling stories that don't even remotely follow actual HS wrestling rules.

Bottom line for me...I just like to read mixed wrestling stories that are well-written, whether they are fiction or non-fiction.

I have come to accept that there will always be a segment of those who do not believe that my posts are true, even some of the moderators have accused me of that

But I guess at the end of the day, I know they are true, and many of you enjoy them so that's all that counts for me

I like the idea of separate forums in principle. I can enjoy both, but a true story has a different meaning than fiction. On the other hand, this separation can be difficult. Is a "docu-drama" (a story that gets at the truth but is not an exact reporting of events) a work of fiction? I think this is an important question because a lot of true stories are enhanced to a degree. This maybe to fill in gaps, or it may be to write in a more dramatic style to make the story more interesting, or it may be because our memories inadvertently enhance certain aspects of a story.
