Er, determination?All I want to know is how Emily mastered all those powers as quickly and as well as she did.
24 SciFi stories published today - I’m the third worst. Enough is enough. Why would I bother to put pen to paper when the reaction is so overwhelmingly and unequivocally bad.
There is determination in the face of adversity and there is pig-headed stubbornness and stupidity. I don’t want to be guilty of the latter so:
Literotica wins. I tried my best, but it wasn’t good enough. I have one more story in pending. It might get published, but I have my doubts. Even if it does, it won’t win me any plaudits. It will just continue the now well-established and precipitous decline in how my work is viewed.
Going to stop flogging a dead horse. At least for some time. Other life priorities to think about.
Thanks for those of you who were nice to me. I did appreciate that.

I'm only on page 4 but it's freaking great so far. Double tube filling? My god. Intense.24 SciFi stories published today - I’m the third worst. Enough is enough. Why would I bother to put pen to paper when the reaction is so overwhelmingly and unequivocally bad.

I'm not quite discouraged, but I already starting writing a prequel and two sequels. But yeah, I just looked and it's not looking good to start with. I thought that since it was short, I'd get away with it. But - it's in the romance category, no sex depicted, no science fiction or fantasy elements at all. Time to just keep going I guess.I'm only on page 4 but it's freaking great so far. Double tube filling? My god. Intense.
Sorry you're feeling discouraged
Prequel and 2 sequels to what?I'm not quite discouraged, but I already starting writing a prequel and two sequels. But yeah, I just looked and it's not looking good to start with.

hey, I'm 32K into a sequel to a story that had a score of 1 last time I checked. Here's the Lit author's motto:I'm not quite discouraged, but I already starting writing a prequel and two sequels
A "one!" That's got to hurt. It's true I had a story once with no score at all until somebody voted. Good motto, however.hey, I'm 32K into a sequel to a story that had a score of 1 last time I checked. Here's the Lit author's motto:

To the Geek Pride story that just appeared. I got a bit ahead of myself there. Maybe I had been hoping for this kind of reception.Prequel and 2 sequels to what?
Write for yourself first! There's so much joy in it, and sharing your fantasies with the world is only part of it. Your trilogy is niche fiction, and tentacle sex is like Vegemite/Marmite, you will hit the spot for some, for others well...24 SciFi stories published today - I’m the third worst. Enough is enough.

Okay, that's cleversee you space cowgirl.
Nah, brah. Frats, brah, and so-hoes. Am I right? Up top!Am I the only one that keeps reading Greek Pride and thinking we should be writing about smashing plates at weddings?

So awesome! It cleansed my heart of that dark stain left by the live action versionsee you space cowgirl.
So you need to read Collective Intelligence by @seraph_nocturne and Eldritch Pact by me to fully get the beauty of this joke, but I'm sure you can glean the main humor from context clues.
I got to read Collection Intelligence a bit early, and I immediately made this meme. I've been waiting for both stories to drop so I could share this meme, and then I forgot until now.
A tradition at 'Greek' weddings. I suspect you haven't been to one.Is smashing plates at a wedding a thing?
Never heard of such a tradition and no, I've never been to a Greek wedding.A tradition at 'Greek' weddings. I suspect you haven't been to one.
Now I remember our Buffalo discussion - the expressway issue. I've never been to an Irish wedding. I've heard that the wakes could - or used to - be pretty well lit-up too.Never heard of such a tradition and no, I've never been to a Greek wedding.
I've been to quite a few South Buffalo Irish Weddings where the only thing that got smashed was... everyone.

One thing I've learned in life (not much in total) is to sip hard liquor, not drink it per se. The effects will hit soon enough anyway.
