Exactly. Without Captain Doom, SimonDoom would be a mere shadow of a man.
And in my case, an alt would be futile - I'd die without coffee from a café.

Stop right there, lol.
If you haven't figured out yet that nobody really lives in "an ideal world," there's no point discussing anything with you. Certainly not discussing anything about smut writing, nor about the kind of lifestyle represented here on lit.
Not all of life's milieus are created equally. In the "I've just graduated from college" milieu, I was pleased and flattered that my extended family drove 1,000 miles to see me walk. That amazed and humbled me, and it meant more than it would have coming from strangers. But in the "I've just won a smut contest" milieu? Yeah. No. I don't crave approval from that same family. It's not all the same thing.
You really don’t get the point of anonymity, do you? In my case I don’t give a fuck about the ratings, the comments, the views etc etc etc so it’s fine for the stories to be attached to some anonymous userid. Not like all these other smut Jane Austens and Ernest Hemingways!
My comments on this thread have elicited way more responses than I have ever had on anything I have ever posted. It flabbergasts me that the “authors” of Literotica are so concerned about their worthiness that any insinuation that this worthiness is coming from a bunch of guys in trench coats jerking off is met with such fury. You just have to laugh about this. It’s beyond absurd. You suffer for your art!!!

Huh?
Some of us are just fine with our stories being admired by a bunch of guys in trench coats jerking off. Quit generalizing.

Who even wears a trench coat anymore?
I've been trying to get cloaks and capes back in style for a while now. No thanks to Edna Mode.

I get that anonymity doesn't let you have it both ways as you have tried to do--both being totally anonymous and having your writing credits claims accepted. I feel fortunate that, while probably not valuing the ratings here any more than you do--and having espoused that position here for decades longer than you have and on the basis of an actual story file to offer--I don't have to suffer the wounded baby attitude you display.

Since I write GM spy stories, I certainly welcome the guys-in-trench-coats readers.

I had one buddy that started wearing a trench when we were about 15 or so. Absolutely going for the Sam Kinison vibe, because he usually wore the hat as well, and had that build and long hair. Last I knew, he was still rocking it.

You do you.
Since you're not prepared to put your money where your mouth is, why don't you just wander off and join all the other miserable sods who get off on denigrating writers.
Why are you even here, if we've got zero worth in your eyes? You're a superior being how, exactly?

It's a small but VERY dedicated demographic.

Not while I'm doing dishes though

Bring on the trench coat masturbators.
They're a dedicated and loyal fan group.

Not directed at anyone in particular, but writing for yourself and wanting others to read what you have written are not mutually exclusive.
I have only once written for an audience (LW with Jacob’s Progress) and that was primarily to see if I could (seems I can).
I mostly write what I want to write. But I am of course delighted when others also like it, and deflated when they do not.
I can’t imagine that’s a unique POV.

I am currently thirteen on the all time Lit commenters list. Every morning I hit the new story list under my favorite genres. Then I go to my control panel to possibly pick up a story from one of my favorite authors who may not generally publish within my favorite genres. Then, and this may answer one of your unasked questions, I go to the Feedback portal, and THAT is where I may find a story you wrote several years ago that I may have missed, but someone else may have found, and commented on. If the title interests me, I will read it, and if I like it, comment, and it goes back to the top of the Feedback portal. If I really liked it, I may make several comments, kicking it back up to the top of the list
Your stories are never lost They just need to be rediscovered

Found it, thanks. I thought maybe they had a list in the favs portal.
Quick look through the top names I get a bunch from Rightbank and digdaddyriich, but don't recognize most of the others.
Interesting. Thanks and Congrats
Thanks. Feel free to comment on our stories
