Like a lot of other people (I assume), I came here looking for good quality erotic stories, and while it's fair to say I found a lot of works that appear to fit the genres that interest me, it's also fair to say that quite a few of those works aren't particularly well written. I found I was spending a lot of time reading work which I quickly found disappointing.
During my relatively short membership in Lit, I've spent a lot of time searching for stories that not only stimulate the mind sexually, but also hold your attention by 'involving' the the reader in the scenes themselves.
It occurred to me that if I'm having problems finding really well written work, then others may feel the same? Browsing through Categories and Tags doesn't really help much toward finding work that really stimulates and satisfies, and I felt it might help others if there was some way to identify a good writer, outside of the 'Hot' scoring (which often only seems to identify how much graphic sex is included).
I should say up-front, that I would never intend (nor suggest) to use this thread to identify work that falls short of my expectation. I certainly wouldn't want that and I hope no-one else would do that either.
About a week ago I came across an author (by accident - I can't even remember how) that stood head and shoulders out from the crowd, and reading her work inspired me to open this thread. Leaving a comment on the story may please the author, inspiring them to write more, but it doesn't really tell others much about the work. I would expect that if an author writes one story well, it's fair to assume that his or her other works will be of a similar standard.
So... I hope this thread can be used to 'Tell the World' about an author (on Lit), and say why you felt that his/her work was noteworthy. Adding a link to the story that inspired you to nominate your 'favourite' would also be a benefit to all
If this has been done before (it probably has), maybe someone could add a link to the original thread(s) so that we can all share the value of other people's past experience?
For my part, I would like to nominate MelissaBaby as my first 'Top Author'.
Melissa's Mini-series, My Fall and Rise, appears to me to be very professionally written.
The prose is carefully constructed and the descriptions are detailed and precise. Melissa has an uncanny gift of being able to 'draw' the reader into the scene, and you can almost feel her pain and suffering as she takes you with her on her journey to hell and back. It's fair to say that the subject matter is not one of my favourites, but I had only to read the first chapter and I was hooked.
11 out of 10 from me
Thanks Melissa
