ASSTR.org
I assume you’re referring to (the Alt.Sex.Stories Text Repository ) and specifically asking about its authors — either for a general review of how the platform handles authors, or a review of notable authors on ASSTR.
- PhD Candidates (often posting their first paper under the guidance of a supervisor)
- Postdoctoral Fellows (building their reputation through frequent submissions)
- Tenured Professors (maintaining labs and submitting collaborative work)
- Institutional Researchers (working at observatories like ESO, NASA, or ESA)
- Independent Scientists (retired academics or private researchers with institutional endorsements)
Unlike modern platforms with strict Terms of Service, ASSTR functioned as a 501(c)(3) non-profit
