"Anonymous" harassment

Ten percent of nothing is still nothing for those who forgot math formulas.
 
I'm sorry, but Em's calendar is quite full at the moment; I currently have her booked for beta reading four lesbian stories, three tentacle porn collabs, ghost writing two Loving Gay Husbands stories, and a partridge in a pear tree.

I think I may be able to fit you in somewhere around February 2026.

Deposits in advance. No refunds.
Understood. That might work but I wouldn't want to get in the way of her five golden shower haikus...
 
Do any other authors here frequently receive anonymous comments that are essentially just insults?
I used to, but I deleted them the moment I saw them. I'm allowed to moderate my comments and I chose to delete the abuse and insults. He gave up leaving insults that disappeared within a couple of hours.

Yes. Just yesterday I had a comment to one of my stories that began with "This idiot writer . . . "

At this point I just take it in stride. It's just part of the scenery.
 
Get them all the time.

Anonymous insults are the one kind of comment I simply delete. Any criticism of the text is fine, no matter how dumb or irrelevant I think it is or (I like to think) no matter how much it bothers me. But get personal and you have no right to be read.
 
It is almost a rite of passage...
The worst comment I ever received was. "You need a 6 inch nail in your forehead...
LOL...
As if he had a 6 inch anything...
What amazes me is. They log into a site designed to host erotic literature. Each category explains what you can expect to find within.
Then the crazies start preaching about sex... Hello... What did they expect to find?
I will second what @EmilyMiller said.
Once you have a little following group of haters. They will cross category's to 1 bomb you.
If like me, you don't care about the score, then have at it.
Whatever else you do... Make sure you enjoy it...
Have fun
Cagivagurl
In your case, I cross categories to 5 bomb you. Ignore the haters
 
There's an anon who always uses the word "crap" in every comment and there's also an anon who accuses the author of the given story he comments on of being "mentally ill", but I'm not sure if they're the same person.
 
I suppose I've been lucky. I get very few hate comments, even from Anons.

I do get weird ones from time to time.

Like this gentleman, who was apparently very upset that the father in my story My Daughter, The Nudist didn't actually fuck his own daughter:

Idiotic. What the heck is the matter with Phil (aka you?) She's not a child, and he wouldnt be "exploiting" her, for gods sake. In fact she's far less of a child than he is - she could have taught him so much about intimacy. Theres so much more to mature sex - physical bonding - than Phil denied to them both, with much permanent damage and estrangement, because of his/your thoroughly fatuous (fat-headed) attachment to childish Sunday school mumbo jumbo, and archaic Augustinian control mechanisms. And yet he/you embraced prostitution, and the amorality of all that tawdry, scripted deception and secrecy.
Life is so short, with so few chances of experiencing something special, without a harmful downside.
You've saddened my whole day.

And then this guy who apparently hates butt stuff so much he had to comment on The Devil And Angel Em specifically to tell me how much he hates it:

Thanks for at least including the 'anal' tag and saving me from reading five pages of that crap, pun intended.

Oh and for the record, anal only factored in on two scenes, not the entire five pages.

But obviously he didn't bother to actually read it.

I bet he one bombed it, though.

I’ve wondered what is going on in some people’s heads for them to write those comments. Having a bad day and wanting to take it out on someone? Or maybe they are just jerks most of the time in most areas of their lives. You know the type… they try to lift themselves up be tearing others done.

“That person’s story just wasn’t what I was looking for. I’ll leave a comment telling him it was terrible and unreadable.”

First off, let me say this: I am always open to genuine constructive feedback. If someone tells me that my story wasn't good, and then proceeds to politely and objectively explain why, I appreciate that. It's the "Your story sucks, and I hope you die" kind of comments that I'm referring to.

Secondly, I realize that I'm putting a target on my back since I've posted a lot in Loving Wives.

However, I get a sense it's just a few, maybe even the same person, harassing me because the comments are always similar. And perhaps that's my true question to any of you who have had a similar experience: do you think it's the same person or the same few people responsible?
Yes, you're going to get those no matter what you do.

My advice is to just delete the comments from the people who are too chicken to show themselves, and you just keep writing for you.
 
My first post were in the LW section and yep, the haters were out in force. I do t give a flying f%@k about them or the fact they hit me with the shittish score they can.

Nearly all are anonymous so my conclusion is that they are either religious nutjobs or mainly guys who've been on the receiving end in a dodgy relationship and think by abusing authors man's them up.

Ironically they talk about me not being a man. I laugh, as it cracks me up some limp dicked individual has been upset by my words thay have been strung together. In real life I have to deal with far tougher individuals than those that hide behind being an anonymous turd.

I'll take criticism, heck I'm an amateur doing this for fun. If Iwas talking your money feel free otherwise just move on, at worse politely tell me its not your style.

I try to put a bit of a preamble in now to warn those easily offended. I did miss something in one of my latest works, A Flaming Christmas, in that I failed to mention a potential suicide. So obvious, but I missed it.

Enough rambling.I've a nice piece based on the real life experiences of a serial cheater for early next year to rile the haters. Will give me a good chuckle over my morning coffee reading comments they've wasted their precious time on writing thinking it'll hurt whereas it'll bounce off my thick hide :)
 
I think a lot of the negative anon comments may come from the same individual. Similarity in tone and sentence structure give them away.
 
I actually had one "Anonymous" user go on a tangent about how much my story sucked and I couldn't write and he just went off on me. I politely replied to him (I can't remember what I said, and I have long since removed the post). The next thing that I know he sends me an email through Lit to apologize profusely and to praise me for the story. He was having a really bad day and I just happen to have triggered something in him. I thanked him for his apology and his much kinder words. It was just odd! another user went on a rant about women who shave versus women who don't. Stubble, razor burns, pimples and ingrown hairs, seepage....the guy was just graphic. He got deleted as well. I keep good constructive comments up and delete the bullshit posts.

Another sighting of Anonybush. He tends to show up a lot.
 
He returned this morning and left another long comment. I think that he needs to find himself some cleaner more hygiene conscious women.
