Places to post an online story

I have a friend with two large online books. He has them on his website plus he is on Storiesonline and Smashwords. He wants to get more exposure for his work. The following sites are listed in posts in these forums. Does anyone know of other good sites where online work can be posted or linked to? Also, does anyone have any comments on the sites below about how they treat authors? Any other ideas about how he can get exposure for his work?

Magestic and K2 by Geoff Wolack http://www.geoffwolak-writing.com/. Magestic is a time-travel story and K2 is a political thriller.

I read K2 when it was posted to SOL, very good story. I haven't gotten the chance to read Majestic yet though.

K2 has a book 7 available from Geoff for $1/1£. I love Johno.

Magestic is a lot of fun to read. Chapter 16 will be out soon.

I have read both and I highly encourage anyone with plenty of time to read both. The only warning I will give is you have to treat it like one of Fel's master pieces. By that I mean move your fridge to the bathroom cause the stories draw you in and you will not want to stop reading till you have finished all that has been posted. :D

As for other sites to post on I can only think of fan fic sites like THP, Ficsite and FF.net but I would not think he would want a load of fan boys slamming him because his stories have nothing to do with fan fiction. Although I think it would be well received on http://www.ficsite.com as that particular site was designed to put up any story. Granted it is all currently fanfic but the orig fic has to start somewhere.

Having read the stories you refer to, I wouldn't really recommend 'Beyond the Far Horizon' -- unless the author [GWResearch(?)] has an extremely thick skin. I'm afraid the views expressed in his two stories, especially those in 'Magestic' which concern American politics, might ruffle a few feathers.

Now I am NOT saying there is anything wrong with 'Beyond the Far Horizon' - it is a very good site in its own way, but people there can be quite critical of anyone whose editing is 'unorthodox' or whose political belief does not match theirs. If you read the forum on that site, you'll soon see what I mean.

Pretty much why I just read the On-topic, and steer away from the Off-topic fora...
