### Gay Cupid is not just about "love stories"! Unfortunately, [GayCupidStories.com](https://www.gaycupidstories.com) is getting less attention than I hoped. The reason may be, that people think it's just about love and kissing. But it's not. Stories there can and should include steamy hot sex, too, if appropriate. They are about everything that happens in our world, be it one-night-stands, "friends with benefits", trying new things, etc, and, of course falling in love, too, but that's not a necessity. It should be about the dynamics between gay people. Stories there CAN contain some kinks as well, even super-natural stuff, if it helps the dynamic or spices up the sex. I want to remind you guys, that the challenge [New Horizons](https://www.gaycupidstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000004) is still running on GayCupid. I've extended its deadline to October 3rd to give you a bit more time. Please don't restrict your self, New Horizons could also mean trying new things, new kinks, new ways to enjoy yourself... I believe in your creativity!

### Check out Chicken Wang! Our user and author [Jubell](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/65307) has just released his first computer game. It's gay, it's sexy and it's free. No need to install, it will run in your browser: [Chicken Wang | Moar Daddies!](https://jubell.itch.io/cwmd) Also please remember that there's a story challenge running on [GayCupidStories.com](https://www.gaycupidstories.com/) called [New Horizons](https://www.gaycupidstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000004). I'm looking forward to your stories there. I know there are not as many readers on GayCupid right now, but to give the site a chance to find its audience, we need more content, so I hope you'll offer to write and publish your stories there nevertheless.

### GaySpiralCupid Visit our new sister site [GayCupidStories.com](https://www.gaycupidstories.com/)! The stories there are all about romance, but that doesn't exclude hot and kinky sex! We've just started a first story challenge, [New Horizons](https://www.gaycupidstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000004) there. Note: If you've got kinky mind control stories that are also romantic, you can easily cross-post them on both sites with just one click! That's also true for your existing stories: just edit the story and enable the option GayCupidStories as an additional site.

### We Have a Winner! It's not such a big surprise that [Freckleman64](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/listSeries/10004736) would do well in this challenge, after the phenomenal echo his recent series [The Curse of the 100 Bottoms](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/listSeries/10004736) had created and since he had already scored second place in the [previous challenge](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000002). So get your dicks ready and cheer him for winning the [High Stakes](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000003) challenge with his story *[Wrestling My Father-In-Law](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10001973)*! Second place in this challenge is *[The Coin of Proclamations](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10001909)* by [The Influencer](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/777056). Way to go! Very tightly behind scored the three follow-up stories: *[The Hitchhiker's Gamble](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10001980)* by another new aspiring author here on GSS, [robincub](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/10006819); *[Strip Poker - Self-Sacrifice](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10001999)* by one of our most loyal veterans [Gayborhood](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/315357); and *[Cursed Warehouse](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10001975)* by [Dace](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/1217645), who added yet another amazing story to his catalog. Many thanks, loud applause and happy fapping to all of you and of course to all of the other authors, who didn't make it into the top 5, but still all wrote hot and juicy stories we readers enjoyed immensely!

### GSS should be stable again After a couple of days of heavy bug hunting, I hope I've caught all the problems now and the site should be working as usual. If you still do catch a problem, please don't hesitate to contact me at [martin@gayspiralstories.com](mailto:martin@gayspiralstories.com) or on our [Discord Chat Server](https://discord.gg/fmWFnhy). ### Only days left to rate!

### Site might have issues In preparations of upcoming bigger changes, I've just updated some base components of the site. That always requires adapting loads of code and the danger that some function stops working without me noticing it. So if you see that something isn't behaving like you'd expect, please let me know and write to [martin@gayspiralstories.com](mailto:martin@gayspiralstories.com) or go to our [Discord Chat Server](https://discord.gg/fmWFnhy) and contact me there in the #site-help-and-feedback channel. Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause! ### Rate the stories in the challenge! In other news: You have one more week to rate the stories in our current story challenge "High Stakes".

### New affiliates and two weeks left for our story challenge! I've recently added two new sites to our [Recommended Sites](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/home/affiliates) page: [Metalbonds](https://metalbondnyc.com/) and [Prince of Rubber](https://princeofrubber.com/). Check them out if these sites trigger your kinky soul!

### Second Story Challenge 2021: *High Stakes* People on our [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/fmWFnhy) have [decided](https://discord.com/channels/536962838804299797/762401493609349183/846307033477283881) on the theme for our second story challenge of the year. The winner is [***High Stakes***](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000003) ***It's just a game - unless the stakes are higher than you expect*** Stories for this challenge should be centered around some kind of competition, game, initiative or project, etc, which entails some kind of risk. It's your decision whether there's an unexpected turn or the risk is clear from the beginning - just make sure that there is some mind control, alteration, or transformation involved. --- **The deadline for submissions is July, 11th!** I'm looking forward to all your great ideas and stories!

### Community Stories Fixed There was a bug which made it impossible to publish new Community Stories. This bug must have been there for a couple of months, but I just learned about this a few days ago. It's fixed now, so if you have Community Stories which you couldn't publish, please try again now. Additionally, I've made some [small improvements](https://forum.gayspiralstories.com/t/site-updates-pt-2/1549/97?u=martin) for the Save Mode and to improve loading times for slower networks. In other news: you can still vote for your favorite theme for the next Story Challenge [on Discord here](https://discord.com/login?redirect_to=%2Fchannels%2F536962838804299797%2F762401493609349183%2F846307033477283881).

### New Layout on mobile phones I've changed the way the stories are listed on smart phones (in portrait mode). The goal was to reduce the amount of scrolling required to browse through the stories. If you're using a phone when visiting this site, please look if you like the changes, which are [shown and described in this thread](https://forum.gayspiralstories.com/t/layout-on-mobile-phones/2870). And please add your opinion and your suggestions in that thread as well, so I improve the site for you further.

### Search Function Updated and Stabilized We had some problems with the search function of the site. That made it necessary to revamp it from the ground up, which resulted in the function being disabled for some time. But it's now back up and should also work better. You can use the link "Hints for searching" on the [search page](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/search) to learn some tips and tricks. [Details about the changes](https://forum.gayspiralstories.com/t/site-updates-pt-2/1549/83?u=martin)

### Story Challenge Final Standings Up! Due to a bug caused by the update last week, the calculations of the final standings didn't work properly, only an error message was shown. This has been fixed now, sorry for the delay. Applause to [Ayyy](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/402567) for the highest overall ratings he scored for his story *[New Year, New Me!](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10000640)* The runner up is *[Big Brother](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10001328)* by [Freckleman64](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/10004736) who was able to collect an amazing 100 "favorite" clicks with his very first story on GSS! Only very closely behind are *[Alter](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10001331)* by [TheAuthor](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/678335), *[Mentor Turned Tormentor](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10001297)* by [The Naked Ginger](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/339158) and *[Domin8 and Sub-Lime](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10001358)* by [GarDad](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/10003522), another first time publisher on GSS. It's very interesting that our challenges seem to attract a lot of new authors and that they seem to do amazingly well, too! Congratulations and thank you very much to all of you, even if you didn't make it into the top 5! You all enriched the site with your amazing work!

### Two big updates The site has been updated twice in the last week, the details of the updates can be [seen here](https://forum.gayspiralstories.com/t/site-updates-pt-2/1549/58). The most important addition is the new feature to be able to directly respond to comments. Also, the site now hides the ratings for recently published stories, to avoid people neglecting new stories which don't carry and rating badges yet. Some big changes behind the curtain have been made in preparation for the upcoming sister sites of GaySpiralStories.com
Mar 21, 2021 by Corin
### Please read and rate the [Fallen Hero](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000002) stories! In the next two weeks, the story challenge is open for collecting your comments, ratings & "favorite" clicks. After that, on the Sunday, April 8th, the results of the challenge will be presented. My thanks go to all authors who spent their time and effort to write so many great stories!
Mar 19, 2021 by Corin
### Last chance to submit your story to the [Fallen Hero](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000002) challenge! You can ***publish*** your story until Saturday 20th of March, 11:59pm (UTC)!
Mar 15, 2021 by Corin
### Challenge *[Fallen Hero](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000002)* is coming to an end! Please note that you just have 5 days left to submit you story to the story challenge *[Fallen Hero](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000002)*! The deadline is March 20th, 11:59pm (UTC)!

### Small update, Commissioning authors & safe mode I've just published a small update, [details can be read here](https://forum.gayspiralstories.com/t/site-updates-pt-2/1549/51?u=martin). I want to remind all authors they can promote that they accept commissions. The only thing required is a $3/month sponsorship. You can activate that feature in your profile. Unfortunately, that feature hasn't seen much usage, yet. I wonder why. If you're not happy with it, please let me know at [martin@gayspiralstories.com](mailto:martin@gayspiralstories.com). Commissioning authors get listed prominently on the main page! And, as I've mentioned in the previous news, the "Safe Mode" no longer hides potentially offending stories. They get listed along with all others but are marked appropriately for users with active Safe Mode (or anon users). If they open such a story, they get the normal view including all info & comments, but the actual story text remains hidden.
Feb 25, 2021 by Corin
### "Safe Mode" affected stories listed now So far, guest users and users who chose to activate '[Safe Mode](https://forum.gayspiralstories.com/t/safe-mode/1245)' didn't see any stories which are tagged by any of the [problematic tags](https://forum.gayspiralstories.com/t/safe-mode/1245). That was quite unfair to the authors of those stories, because they got a lot less visibility. Now these stories are listed as normal (they're marked together with the offending tags, though), so you can see what you're missing. If you want to see how this looks, just log out temporarily to see the difference.
Feb 18, 2021 by Corin
### First entry to the *Fallen Hero* story challenge! The current story challenge has seen a very slow start. I guess one of the reasons might be, that super-hero stories tend to be long and multi-chapter series, which are not suitable for a challenge. I want to remind you, that the challenge is not necessarily about super heroes, but any kind of "hero", even in a more metaphorical sense. But of course, one-shot spandex hero stories are very welcome, too! So I'm glad that the first entry to the challenge has finally been submitted today! I hope there's a lot more to come!
Feb 7, 2021 by Corin
### New Story Challenge In case you've missed it: The first story challenge of the year 2021 has just been started: [***Fallen Hero***](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000002) *Even those you’ve looked up to all your life are not immune to carnal desire!* *This challenge is meant to cover all kind of heroes, including your personal heroes, heroes of society, imaginary heroes, heroes in your family, and yes, also super-heroes. You can use spandex and all, but please don’t limit yourself to the usual super-hero tropes.* **The deadline for submissions is March, 20th!** I'm looking forward to all your great ideas and stories!
Jan 9, 2021 by Corin
### Mark read stories I've [been asked](https://forum.gayspiralstories.com/t/feature-suggestion/2368/13?u=martin) to make it possible to mark stories which have been read already. I wanted to point out that there's already a way to do that! Simply rate each story you've read and you'll get a mark that you've done so in all of the lists on GSS: ![](https://forum.gayspiralstories.com/uploads/default/original/1X/da3075caecf0e6e3d617adc922a1122883fbeb74.png) In general, the number of ratings is still way too low. Please rate more! Our authors really depend on and crave for ratings, and of course, for comments, too!

### Happy Christmas! Enjoy these days the best you can, regardless of all the difficulties we have to face! Stay healthy!

### Congratulations! The [final standings](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000001) of our first seasonal challenge "[Halloween 2020](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000001)" are available now! You took the opportunity to write a lot of interesting and hot stories and series, thank you all for participating in this event! [Noam de Pluma](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/1403470)'s story "[Haunted Haircut](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10000662)" has won this challenge, congratulations and thank you for that great story! Also applause for the four runner ups: "[One of Us](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/series/show/10000264)" by [Bigger](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/230293), "[Harry’s Magic Hut: The Halloween Party](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10000647)" by [Ventage](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/2129750), "[All Hallows Week](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10000521)" by [Mobismo](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/716385), and "[Grand Theft Penis](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10000740)" by [Evelded](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/1215920). Also congratulations to all the runner ups, each one of you is a winner, too! This is the first time we've accepted whole series to be submitted to the challenge. Do you think this is a good idea? Let us know in the [forum](https://forum.gayspiralstories.com/) or write to [admin@gayspiralstories.com](mailto:admin@gayspiralstories.com). The next challenge will not be starting before spring 2021. It's time we take a break after having so many challenges in a row.
Dec 11, 2020 by Corin
#### Forum might ask for e-mail confirmation You might have seen an email from GSS asking you to click for confirmation. This is created by the forum, because it requires an email-address to be confirmed before it can send notifications. As I've removed the "anon forum" mode (it caused too many headaches), everyone who used to access the forum anonymously (or not at all) will get that email once they visit the forum. The forum will ***never*** show the email address to anyone! The only difference to the "anon-mode" is that you'll get emails from the forum, but you can disable them all in the forum settings, if you don't want to be bothered. #### User profiles now shown The menu "[Authors->Author & User profiles](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/index)" was always supposed to list user profiles (i.e. registered users who never published a story themselves) as well. But due to an error, this never worked, this has been fixed now. If you don't see yourself in that list, [visit your user profile](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show) and change anything there, which will enable your profile for listing.

### Congratulations! The [final standings](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000000) of the story challenge "[The Pandemic](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/storyCampaign/show/10000000)" are available now! Thank you to all the authors who participated in this event, it was much more fun and hot angle at that theme than the actual pandemic we have to cope with. Which gave our readers some relieve in your daily and sexual tension, I hope. [Nutiper](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/25270)'s story "[Incubus Summoning for Fun & Profit](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10000404)" received both the highest ratings and most "favorite" clicks, which is well deserved, congratulations! Also applause for the four runner ups: "[Cyrus and Jack Quarantine Together](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10000197)" by [Razz TFs](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/272667), "[Mask Up](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10000403)" by [Wesley Braken](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/13596), "[Wanking From Home](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10000452)" by [Lord an Master in London](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/34730), and "[The Little Black Death](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/story/show/10000472)" by [time.to.occur](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/1662851). But every single story submitted was a fun and hot read, so again, thanks to you all!
