Comments That Make Your Day

Self-promotion: always a pleasure and not always a guilty one. I got this anonymous one for the recent Trucker Mom.

"I enjoyed your story. I thought the picture you painted of Marion was especially vivid. I appreciated how Marion looks like someone I'd see at the grocery store, as opposed to someone out of a porn vid. You've got a clear and straightforward writing style, which I think is an unsung gift. By the by, you gained an instant fan at the unexpected mention of Townes Van Zandt. You've also introduced me to Molly Tuttle (in a different post of yours), an artist entirely new to me, and pretty damned astonishing. Thanks for that!"
 
That's what made this comment stand out amongst others that basically expressed the same sentiments. The double entendre is right up my alley as a writer.
 
This from an author (FreyaGersemi) that I follow and she follows back on my 1x: story 'I Stepped off the Train - Missing'*
"Another wonderful story, AlexFourways!! Life can seem so full of sorrow and strife and missed opportunities, but hopefully, everyone can find a happy ending for themselves!! 5 stars!!!"

First day (14 hrs and 1100 views 4.42/33) Has been up to 4.86 and down to 4.10 (either lots of 3's or some 1's) and was briefly [ HOT ]. Just wish some of those rating 3 and below would tell me what I have done wrong so I can avoid it in the future.
*I know the lyric is "I Step off..." but too late to edit it now!

I got this comment from an anonymous reader on A Fool Not to Fuck:
My heart ache for Sally bc in my view, his brother heart yearning more to his girlfriend than Sally. His pov, his thoughts about sal more about sexual but to his gf, it's more like love & longing. The way he think, acts & behave, everything looks like he just a selfish man, don't want to share Sally body with anyone but to his gf, more than that. This story gave me diff vibe than any 3some (BroSis & bro gf) story. Others felt like, "awesome" but here, damn. It's hurt.

If whoever commented is reading this, please rest assured that it wasn't intended to come across that way. In fact, I deliberately wrote the ending to highlight the intimacy between Sal and Big Brother. Apparently not well enough, though.

Still, it's very touching to read that someone feels so strongly about my characters, so thank you!
 
Comment on a Japanese/American Romance Story - Red String of Fate

Absolutely excellent. Very romantic. A story of a deceitful partner destroying a relationship leading to a relocation to an opportunity for a new beginning in employment and acquaintances. I never look for any story to have a now and herever after termination unless it is a global nuclear holocaust which will ultimately be superseded by a natural rebirth. There could be a variety of paths for the red silk thread to lead to in the weeks, months, years ahead. Each of these might lead to a series of inter-related events in multiple generations. What would you prefer? For one of Minami’s father's actors to terminate Ethan surreptitiously and take Minami into a domesticity she would abhor? Or for Ethan to remain in his stifling tech position, hesitant to sweep Minami into matrimony as he watches Minami wait hopefully for an elapsing three weeks until she drinks her final fatal tea? There are many possible endings to dmallord's wonderful story. The beauty of the story at this point is that it leaves each of us the opportunity to write our own sequel of events hereafter to suit our own desire and fantasy.

dmallord. How refreshing, clearly a reader with writer's potential, to a degree that's how I got started.
(Sorry this bit got longer than I ever imagined when I first put finger to keyboard.)
However, I read quite an number of stories where the couple 'ride off into the sunset' and the comments are filled with "please, please, tell us what happened after is set, overnight, at dawn, next week...!" Clearly in a lot of stories, what happens next is 'life' with a lot of very similar sex scenes. That would be unfulfilling for the author and reader alike.
I haven’t read your story, sounds quite epic, but for my short ‘1x: One Off’ stories I state that there will not be a part 2 and have a ‘For those who like closure…’ Where I summarise my initial views on life beyond the final paragraph, but giving licence to the reader, as ones like yours might do, to make up their own and even share them. I have had one comment with their own seed of idea and one regret that there won't be a part 2! YMMV
