Interview With TheStoriesYouCannotTell

Interview with the creator of TheStoriesYouCannotTell


What inspired you to create your site, The Stories You
Cannot Tell?
-I had made some major mistakes in life and felt the need to apologize. I
felt as if I had some making up to do, even though the people I affected may never even read my blog.

Have you posted ALL of YOUR stories you cannot tell on
your site?
-No. I have barely scratched the surface.

How soon after launching your site did you receive the
first submitted shameful story?
-Three days.

How many user submitted stories do you have on your
site right now?
-There are over two hundred stories at last count.

Have there ever been stories submitted that you
refused to post?
-Yes.

If so how many have been refused? Can you tell us why
they were refused (if any)?
-Only one has ever been refused. I felt that animal sex stories were not something I wanted to post.

Have you received any strange emails as a result of
this project? For example, some one being mad at you after being talked
about in a story?
-No. I have yet to receive a complaint.

Have any of your submitters experience "Telling"
regret?
-Not at all. Many of them have even emailed me, thanking me after I've
posted their story.

Have you developed any new phobias after discovering
some of the things people do?
-Yes. I am more aware of people around me in public washrooms after
reading the story of a guy checking out another guy's package, and the story of what
happened in the YMCA showers.

Has this changed your view of people or society in
general? If so, how and why?
-Not really. Based on my own life experiences I have a good grasp of the
many different types of people and society as a whole.

How busy does this blog keep you?
-Busy enough that I take time away from my normal routine to post stories
and add my comments as well as respond to other people's comments. I'd say
at least a few hours a day.

Do you have plans for the future of your web site?
-I plan to keep it going for a while. I still have quite a few stories to
tell and based on the amount of stories I've received, there is a great
amount of people out there that have stories you cannot tell.

Out of all the stories submitted which is your
personal favorite and why? (include link)
-http://thestoriesyoucannottell.blogspot.com/2006/01/14-tips-to-follow-when-having-affair.html
It's probably the most talked about story I've ever posted. After posting
this I was amazed at how many people emailed me telling me about their
affairs and such. I was shocked at how common cheating is.

Do you have any more interesting facts or experiences
from "The Stories You Cannot Tell"?
-My best experience so far has to be the positive response from my readers.
Seems like with all the "confession" websites out there, none of them give
the you the ability to "talk" to the person confessing. Having the comments on sure
makes for some interesting remarks from the general public. Sometimes the
comments are more humorous than the story themselves!
