Comments That Make Your Day

[onehitwanda]

I am flabbergasted, your (author) Stories up until late 2022 were touching and detailed with such feeling in their descriptions of Love and Lust between a Woman and a Man, like few others on this amateur writers site can come close to. And, now suddenly, you are a full on Lesbian and write nothing but about that obsession??

In "Occultation", the preamble you write "This one is... closer to home.", which I have to assume means that it's self-biographical, yet the two stupid people, who were blind to the fact neither one of them were willing to make the first "I want you" move, do seem to end up happy in a Straight relationship. How can you write like this, and then go total Lesbian in your writings? Were you that "wounded" by a man, sometime in 2022?

It is a shame, I loved reading your straight stories, built like a good movie, character enrichment first, then slowly into the intimacy, loved it, I edit professionally (and write too, for money, not freebies) and I truly miss your straight oriented novellas, I'm a testosterone fueled American male, and girl on girl (or male gay crap) does nothing for me, There are damn few other writers on this "lit-erotic" site, that write as honestly as you DID.

Just as a "Footnote", I did notice in your later "straight" romance novellas, that male characters with clearly portrayed as stupid, cads, careless and such; while the women could do no, or very little, wrong. Something must have changed in your life then.

Sad to lose you as gifted write I rather enjoyed reading. Far too many louts publish crap on this site.

Best of luck in your writings.

For Chasing You, Finding Me: as a new writer here, I feel this is far more praise than I, or the story, deserve. I spent an eternity in the editing process (mostly because I'm an idiot who can't keep characters or story beats consistent), and I'm just so thankful it's being recognized.

@redgarters, this made my day. Cheers.

Your characters are rich and colourful, they jump off the page fully formed and the contrast between them is beautifully written.

Your style is effortless, not a word out of place, and the structure is superb.

This is one of the best stories I have read here, thank you!

Thank you for writing this.

I read this yesterday and needed a day to absorb it. I read it again just now and remain deeply moved. It felt, at times, like you were verbalizing my own thoughts. Good writing like this reminds us we are not alone.

"And my silence? It's wearing thin."

Mic drop. Boom. Right in the feels.


On Masked:

I feel like many women could relate to the idea that we mask ourselves to reflect what men want us to be. I think it may even be true that many of us don’t know who the real us is inside apart from the male gaze. Interesting piece and gives me a lot to think about.

by Migbird  on 02/20/2025
I believe Prettylynne captured the intent of this piece viz. men/women, and agree that “…many of us don’t know who the real us is inside.” So many of the very creative pieces on this site explore this reality in variety of intriguing ways/storylines and characters. This piece thought provoking.

I bite my tongue, but know that I have read. Twice. You knew I would.

This was hearth breaking. Hopeless and painfully sad. Hope there is some crack there that didn't fit in the 750 format. I sometimes tried to wear a mask but I was not fit for it. Some did say to me I shold fit and younger me even believed them but not for long, The only sin is to deny yourself. (No idea where I found the sentence but rings right everytime my determination wavers).

Amid the savaging that A Cold Dish is getting, it's nice to get this from Anonymous:

The savaging continues, but at least some people like my story. @Poesproppie for example:

Now that was excellently done!! Ouch.....

Thanks for reading and commenting!

I received the following from a fellow AH member. It made my day and I can't undertand how I missed seeing it until today.

by djrip on 02/13/2025
I bet Alonzo and Lois hang out at that pool a lot from now on She has such good naps there.

It's on one of my 750 stories this year, My Wife's Coworker. Thanks, @djrip. I appreciate it so much, especially after the scolding of the commenter's nastiness before yours.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Ohhhhh, this one makes my heart go pitter patter. A reader who picked up on all the little details I really worked to slide in....

.....Same for all the other bits of flavor you managed to work in so beautifully:

* the bizarre preoccupation with spilled seed being the _gravest_ sin

* the hypocritical attitude most Catholics these days have towards contraception

* the stereotype of slutty Catholic girl being flipped on its head, where it's the religion itself that makes her slutty

and probably a few more I didn't spot.

All in all, this a hilarious and hilariously hot story, and 5* are well deserved.

 

[kitmarlowe]

My first story went live today and I just logged in to a bunch of great comments!

A delightful story, wonderful scenario that we all would love to experience. This was a great read

God that was so hot

Excellent and well written!!!

I was a bit nervous about how my first posting would go so I'm delighted by this reception.

@Actingup is rapidly becoming my all-time favorite commenter (there is competition).

One of the more spectacular extended sex scenes in the series, with the Publius thesaurus deployed to devastating effect. I particularly enjoyed the ‘appendage still trapped between us vigorously massaged the breast it still desperately clutched’ - I don’t think I’ve ever read a smut story where said appendage wasn’t a dick rather than a hand or foot. And then followed up with a Skittles-based King Arthur reference and a deluge of nude selfies… this was next level creative writing.

Also… you played this one quietly, but thanks for the reminder to not put retirement off too long.

And I'm glad someone caught that. I never saw the real Parvis again after his retirement event. Still miss the man, though he is not the only faculty member about whom I still think, "What would ______ do?"

Why thank you. I read of my Parvis' death last week. He had a long retirement, but I'll always remember him talking about his 80 hour working week in class and his constant ill health, and thinking that some of the lessons that we learn from our most admired and valued teachers are also those about what not to do...

This comment pleased me so much; I can't tell you how much. It's like a fresh spring breeze after a rain. I find it an especially lovely comment since it is one of the event organizers.

 

[StillStunned]

I've been complaining about low viewing numbers in SF&F, but relatively speaking you still get high voting and commenting stats. I just found this on Bound to the Blade, left by @Bluesea00:

The plot's the best of the story. Need to work out deeper the characters (but don't mind me i am obsessed with characters) . I'l follow you you left me willing o know what's next you have to offer,
Congrats and thanks for sharing

Thanks for reading and commenting, and of course for following me!

 

[Kumquatqueen]

I published Gas Station Guy over five years ago, but it occasionally gets a comment. The rating isn't great, possibly because it doesn't really fit any category (so Laurel dumped it in Fetish), but the people who like it really like it:

This was a fantastic read. Very well done. Wowser, just so hot. Thank you.

I'm guessing from the 'wowser' they're Australian - Aussies do seem to be on my wavelength!

Can you give us the story link?

 

[MillieDynamite]

First Contact: The Strigoi

Can you give us the story link?

Ere ya go.

Ere ya go.

When I click on the link I get a new tab labeled "about:blank#blocked." Dunno what that's about.
I did find the story, but I'm afraid it's too long for my reading-on-the-computer tolerance. I skimmed it enough to see why it would be disturbing!!

 

[MillieDynamite]

Wow, that is strange that it didn't open up. It's only 16 thousand words.

It was a lovely story! Loved the pacing, and it seemed wonderfully realistic, like something that could or had actually happened. Great work!

 

[StillStunned]

After an earlier comment about how sexy the sex in Dungeon of Desire: Level 1 was, @Omenainen added this just now:

I was also taken surprise by how sexy the sex was, and I don’t mean this to sound like I thought you wouldn’t write hot sex, but that you managed to surprise me. Excellent. Thank you for posting this in my event! I appreciate it.

You're welcome, and thank you for hosting it every year!

I have to ask, though (and feel free to chip in, @Eosphorus): what in particular makes the sexy sex so surprising? Is it the angry attraction between the characters? The fact that they're watching their companions while they're at it? Xunaxa's tail? Arivor's respect for her moment of anxiety?

The last two, for me. Hits my buttons. Also the way you build Xunaxa’s character speaks to me.

 

[TheLobster]

The link you posted points to http://First Contact: The Strigoi, which isn't a valid URL at all. You must've pasted the title in both boxes when pasting it.

The correct link is I believe https://www.literotica.com/s/first-contact-the-strigoi

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed her. I wasn't quite sure whether the story was entirely what you had in mind for Pink Orchid. Then again, space hippies were OK last year, so why not a D&D dungeon crawl?

I’m very species-inclusive.

Yeah, nah. Wowsers? Strewth. Sounds like someone else going off like a raw prawn. Manchurian, maybe?

Wowser! My oath! To right, mate. That's a bloody Aussie, alright. Pass the bloke a tinnie and throw the rest of the riot pack in the Eskie.

LOL. The words sound familiar but streuth, it's another language.
