Accusations in Story Feedback

[SpicyBean99]

I wanted to open up a discussion about something that's been bothering me. I recently posted a story, Double Trouble, which explores consensual degradation and other kinks that are widely present in erotica, particularly on this platform. While I fully expect differing opinions and even strong critiques, I was taken aback by a comment that didn't just criticize my writing but also accused me of being "only interested in my own deviancy" and falsely claimed I was violating the site's guidelines.

What confuses me is that my story is hardly unique in its themes-many stories on here explore taboo and extreme kinks without facing such accusations. I wrote this piece as a request for a friend, which makes the claim that it reflects some kind of personal perversion even more absurd. It's one thing to dislike a story, but it's another to attack an author's character based on assumptions.

I'm curious-have any of you encountered similar responses to your work?

I want to be open to feedback, but I also feel there should be a line between critique and outright hostility.

Well, ain't that a fun commenter. I wonder what they'd think of Bataille if he was a Literotica author.

The comment section will comment section though. Just filter out the genuine criticisms from the personal attacks and you're good to go. Even though we're all literary prostitutes here, you can't please everybody, so I wouldn't fret on things that are subjective.

Nonetheless, I don't think you broke the content guidelines. However, I would've loved to see some tags because they are quite helpful on knowing what type of content one should expect from within.

While most of my negative comments are largely from folks who either don’t get the characters or don’t like bisexuality, that one on your story is pretty rough. I’d probably nuke it - you can remove comments you don’t like.

I didn’t see anything in there that was TOS violating, either. Everybody was over age, which is the chief rule, and there are plenty of piss play stories on the site.

There were a few typos, but shit happens. I know I’ve got some bad ones in mine, even after hours of editing, lol. It happens. The drugs aren’t that big a deal either - I’ve had a few scenes like that in my stories as well. So I have no idea what the guy Is talking about.

Just ignore it and write the next chapter. Can’t please everybody. As long as you like it, that’s what matters the most.

I don't generally write in the more polarizing categories, but even so? I have frequently received feedback of that sort, normally in connection with infidelity content.

Many, many readers have a hard time with the concept of "fiction." They seem to assume all of us are embodied in the characters we develop, that all our stories are autobiography, and that we must be damaged in some way.

They do not know you. Give such comments the attention they deserve: delete them mercilessly.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

People here are notoriously lazy so it might help if you linked the story and/or the comment in question.

You got Stacnashed. She's a self-appointed vigilante commentator who trawls through stories, applying her own rigid criteria to reviews.

Delete the comment or keep it, it's completely up to you.

There was no breach of site policy that I could see. Your depiction of the twins might have been a tad borderline in terms of the age policy, but you covered your ass by explicitly stating their age in the body of the text, rather than in a lame disclaimer, and you didn't go on too much about their little tits. You obviously got a pass from Laurel, and she's the only arbiter on this site - her site.

The comment is from a self important troll named Stacnash who got themselves nuked off this forum in close to record time for being a troll here as well.

Pay no attention to them, they will leave a positive comment from time to time, but they have a habit of trashing anything not in their wheelhouse they chose to read anyway. They also have a Stasi list of 'authors you shouldn't read' or something like that. I'm on that list, but fortunately 24,500+ people have me on their fav author list, so take that as a sign of their opinion.

If it makes you uncomfortable delete it, but-and I always say this and its my opinion, you do what you want-deleting this type of twit makes them think they got a win.

Whatever you do, just rest assured its not you, this person is a flaming asshole.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

Oh, that commenter. Ignore. All his comments are similar, even if you wrote a Nobel Prize-worthy piece of literature.

It would be helpful for your intended audience to use tags, because as is, people into twin porn may be rather disappointed, and the piss fans won't see it. Readers tend to like stories of 4000 words plus, which would go onto two pages.

My personal criticism would be why on earth is it set explicitly in England when none of the characters or descriptions are British - but there's many writers who seem to think that being English magically makes people more kinky. (I can neither confirm nor deny this accusation)

 

[madelinemasoch]

Yes! I mean, people even lie about my work on these forums.

I used to publish here a lot back in 2023. A little in 2022 and less so in 2024 before I decided to pull them and regroup. There is a particular user who has convinced himself that my biggest series included a scene in which a character gets buried alive in a metal coffin for a week. This never happened in that story or in any other story I have published nor written for myself. Yet he continues to lie and accuse me not only of having posted a story like that, but of claiming that if this scenario were to happen, it wouldn’t constitute torture. I have never said that on these forums, as links to forum posts this user provided to everybody himself to read on another thread reveal. This is probably the biggest example of slander you will see on this website.

If you’re genuinely artistically transgressive enough and strong-willed enough to call people out and defend your work for what it is on this website, certain users will lie about you, slander your name, insult you, and gang up on you to do so. Just my fair warning to another author receiving hate comments on this site. I got death threats in my comments section, as well, just for writing a story that’s principally about a group of cheating white girls who favor black men.

The author's possibly a Brit? As you say, though, it's odd to state it so obviously. Adds nothing to the story that I could see.

I'm surprised Laurel didn't add a couple of tags, to be honest.

You always have the choice of whether to respond to a comment, simply ignore it, or delete it. I've never deleted any comment myself but we are all different here. So choose whatever feels like the right approach.

About your story and the comment - even though there is no love lost between that particular commenter and me, I can see why they claim you might be in breach of the website's rules.
You do state that the twins are both 19, but the way they act, what they are wearing, and how you depict everything about them as little or tiny, it does look like you want to make them seem much younger than that. As far as I have seen, there is no mention of actual roleplay in your story so yeah, it does somewhat look like a workaround of the age policy.

To be fair, yours is not the first story that used that specific workaround, nor is it anywhere near the worst.

At this point it sounds like it's they who need to touch grass. Even for Anonymous, death threats are too far, especially for a stupid* piece of fiction, but what do I know? I've gotten death threats for going out femme before.

*Not calling your story stupid in any way, I'm just stating how extreme is such reaction to something you don't like. To quote Lady Gaga, the Internet is a toilet.

I get what you're saying, but age was declared as was the MC assuring they were willing to play his game. As for making them act younger, if that's a violation, then a shit ton of stories here should be nuked. Granted if they were using baby talk, that could be a point, but I read it, and they didn't seem like they were acting younger than the typical 'daddy's girl" portrayed often on here.

The piss thing was a bit much for me, but unlike that shitbag who commented, I can shrug off other people's kinks as simply not mine. Its all fair play in the fetish category.

Thank you for acknowledging me. Unfortunately that kind of raucous behavior towards people who are just expressing themselves is not uncommon in this dying world.

I once received a feedback-anon of course-that they were going to find me, beat me, rape me and pour acid into my rancid cunt. They thought I was a woman, and the fact someone sends something like that over a story is disturbing.

As for the site, I want to remind everyone they screen comments, and this is what they let through. It says a lot about a site that likes to pretend it has some form of rules and ethics. Make a reference to "I made out with my boyfriend when I was sixteen" and its 50/50 it gets kicked back, death threat? Nah, that's fine.

Yeah, I have nothing against any fetish. And there are far, far more extreme fetishes than pee play. I love how people often surprise me with kinks and fetishes I would never even dream of. It's all fun to me.

About the daddy's girl and playing younger, I'll have to take your word for it. I never read stories with those themes, but I did read those that some people reported and linked in the forum several times, and those were definitely worse.
But it's not so much playing younger that stood out to me as the fact that some body parts were being depicted as tiny. Maybe it's just me.

I haven't received such a comment myself (yet?) but I'm appalled by some of what is let through as well.

There was a comment on an interracial story where someone was explicitly saying lynchings of real black men were justified because of people like the one in the story (who didn't even do anything too heinous from what I remember). I reported the comment but when I happened across the story months later it was still up.

I'll be that girl who plays the Devil's advocate and add to this something: there are people out there who are older than what they look, and even capitalize upon it. At the top of my head I'm thinking about Ariel Rebel and Belle Delphine. While Belle is in no way "tiny," Ariel is petite, and that was part of what made her big when she started out. Things haven't changed since then; otherwise I wouldn't be posting about schoolgirls.

Anons misgendering are a recurring theme in here; I've been misgendered before. Still that sounds way too weirdly specific, so it feels more like a kink than a threat... I would've said that. That shouldn't have gotten through if comments are screened though.

Yes. I used to delete them. Then I turned off comments entirely because I was tired of curating them (I never got lots of comments in the first place, so it didn't seem like much of a wrench to give up the nice one or two that would appear). Then they resorted to anonymous/fake emails, so I had to turn those off, too. So far they don't seem to be stalking me on the forums, unless they were someone on my Ignore list all along.

This says it all. Only stories I've seen be removed quickly are anything in LW where bad things happen to men and the readership of insecure males run screeching to the report button. @MrPixel can attest to that as it happened to one of his.

I said just today in another thread that this site has a long history of protecting the worst elements here, and forcing the better element to deal with it, or leave.

 

[TadOverdon]

A big thing you get from critical reader feedback is a sense of how specific people's kinks are and the extent to which they assume that even the most peculiar taste must be shared by "most" or "the majority of" readers.

If you look at the porn industry some of these girls look disturbingly young, small breasted, their features, shaved to look even more pre-pubescent. Hustler coined the term "barely legal" and made a mint with it for a reason.

Last few years they've done this with young men as well. Some of those milf and mom or step mom stories have this actor Jordi (I think) who is short, extremely young looking to where you think no way this kid is 18. At this point he has to be mid twenties or more, but you wouldn't know it. My wife saw a video with him once, and shut it off and told me "I don't care what's between his legs, he looks twelve, and its just wrong"

Of course, in visual porn we know the actors have to be of age, but written erotica is different. But as I'll say about any tule here, they're wink wink at best.

As for the comment sent to me, that was through feedback and back then they weren't screening them. They are now, but same deal, unless its spam or politics they don't agree with, it goes through.

Ironic on a website in which deviancy is the norm. Most popular category is literally called Incest/Taboo
