I've been dabbling in ASSTR, though haven't found anything I've really liked yet. Mostly what I'm finding are stories that are good for a bit, and then veer into "not my fetish" territory. It's an enormous site though, so I'm sure I'll find something I'll like eventually.
I just wish their search and organization were... Good. Like at all. My biggest problem with it is how I can never seem to find anything. And last time I was there it was like 50/50 whether there would be anything in Recent that wasn't Nifty Archive, all of which is very not my thing.
Second this: terrible organization. Otherwise a good site, I think.
ASSTR used to be my jam.
The site went through a big crash a bunch of years ago, and then apparently suffered more subsequent technical issues afterwards. The couple times I've been there recently, it's been like doing the internet equivalent of urban exploring a mostly abandoned city.
There's some things still functional, some people still active there and eking out an existence, but lots of the site structure is broken and a lot of the collections which aren't being maintained are partially or totally broken.
