While it's true that I haven't written any Erotica for a long time, I still maintain an interest in ASSTR. Gone are Garage Sales - people sell their used stuff online these days. Buying online is nice - but I miss the joy of discovery. There was nothing better than going into a used bookshop, inhaling the scent of acid paper perusing the shelves, and walking out with books by a writer new to me. Gone are Thrift Shops, where I bought plenty of books beginning in the early 1970s (Fleming, Deighton Le Carre and later Science Fiction). To be young again when the world was new. I never got proofed while still aged 17 walking into an Adult Shop. Gone is 42nd St in NYC, where I learned to be treated like an adult you had to act like an adult. The longer the site stays down, the less chance it will come back.įor me, ASSTR was my last link to the newsgroup era, where I started writing Erotica back in 1996 (!). We don't know the reason for the outage, and Rey hasn't responded to emails for years. Hopefully Ray will give some authoritative information. I really don't know what to make of all this.

Thank you Alvo for that interesting datum. It's minimal, but it isn't zero - from which I conclude that neither the site nor the server are dead or even completely off line. Because of that I can see that there is still a very low level of traffic on my pages. >I do a very minimal level of analytics tracking on my ASSTR pages. >The site is clearly still "down." However:
