                ABBREVIATED STORY CODES IN A.S.S.
                        Readers' Version

Version 4.1 -- October, 2002


What are all of those funny letters after the titles of stories?  
And what do they mean?

They are story content codes.  They try to describe the genre of 
the story, whether it is the type of story some readers might 
want to download, whether it is the type of story some readers 
might want to avoid.

* NOTE:  If you have written a story, this is not your FAQ.  Look 
* up the story-code FAQ for authors.

These codes break down into two or three categories.

"caution"      Something in the story might offend (or even 
sicken) you, but the author isn't telling you what.

                                SEX & AGE:

"M,m,b" are all males.  
"b" is always a young boy, should be up to 12. 

"F,f,g" are all females.  
"g" is a young girl, should be up to 12.

"M,F" *should* be adults, 18 and older.
"m,f" *should* be teens, 13 - 17.
"t"   Teenage male (used in gay stories).

     They aren't always, because posters are careless (or 
     clueless).  Also, in the bondage/dominance community, "M" is 
     sometimes a male dominant, "m" is a male submissive, etc.

MF        is adult heterosexual sex
ff        is teen lesbian sex
MMM~f     means adult men gang-banging a teenaged girl
MMM/f     sometimes means adult men gang-banging a teenaged girl
          etc.
M+F       Means several men and one woman
MF+       Means one man and several women

If the story is coded interr, meaning "Interracial," The 
characters might be listed as BF Wm etc.  The preceding letters 
mean Black or White.

     Nothing forces writers to use these codes, there are others 
and many authors make up their own.  But these are a start.

Also, there are a variety of life-style groups whose stories 
spill over into alt.sex.stories and alt.sex.stories.moderated.  
We've attempted to give a short description of what you'll see in 
these stories, but we don't capture the subtleties, much less the 
points under dispute within the groups themselves.

There is a list of recommendations for authors being published 
concurrently on alt.sex.stories.d and permanently at:
