Comments that leave you shaking your head

[Zootonius]

I was looking at some older story comments and this caught my eye:

"The deliberate absence of romance seemed wrong to me."

Um, it's a mom/son incest story... really?

Even in incest, we have standards after all.

So, in order to get incestual relations involved, family has to quit the club?

Will the ITers ever get the T part?

I’ve had a plateful of lovely comments (as below) on “Mirror Twin”, which came out last night. And they are *very* much appreciated.

But the one that made me laugh and scratch my head was this from Anon:

“I would have preferred more commitment between the twins, but 5 stars even so for the emotional connection.”

Mate, they’re identical (mirror) twins. They’re already bonded for life. They’ve declared a lifelong friendship. They just had sex, right in front of you. They just don’t want to be exclusive about it. In the last paragraphs, they say “I love you” to each other. But thank you for the five stars, which is much appreciated even though you had reservations!

The comments that make me shake my head are those that tell me how I should have changed my story. I always think, “Dude (because you know that it's a dude), I wrote the story how I wanted. If you want to write THAT story, then have at it.”

Many do enjoy love with the lust in I/T stories.

But hey, what would I know about that category?

I think the biggest head shakers are the ones that seem to have read a different story, yapping about things that didn't happen.

I feel like they started the story, decided they knew where it was going, then stopped and commented on what they thought would happen.

Or the readers who presumably know what category they are reading in, and then complain about what was in the story.

"Ewwww...incest!" In the I/T category. Really?

PSG always says that readers don't want to read your story, but rather have you tell them their story.

Some will apparently insist that this exactly what happened even when it obviously didn't.

They remind me of people in the comments section of any social media post that features a woman doing something such as weightlifting or kickboxing. It’s always full of men who are strangely freaked out by the mere sight of a woman doing something associated with physical prowess.

In my real life I have a history of falling for what can best be described as Bad Ass Women. I think it goes all the way back to my "first love" in high school, who took taekwondo thirty-five years before I started taking it. If I'd ever pissed her off enough, I would have got a foot upside the head. Since then, I've dated multiple women who may or may not have been able to take me out, but definitely didn't need me to protect them. Of course, being raised the way I was, I try to protect them anyway. Some have appreciated it, some have said, "I can take care of myself, thanks."

I got this one a few days on The Hardwood Son: A Fairy Tale:

Wow, you still waiting to grow up and lose the juvenile delusional? That was silly and a complete waste of time.

Apart from the fact that the anonymous reader clearly didn't like my story, I really have no clue what they were thinking. Presumably that fairy tales are juvenile, but then why click on a story that's clearly labelled "fairy tale"? And it's only 750 words - they probably wasted more time getting angry and posting the comment than they did actually reading it.

I read this one (along with the person who was arguing that it wasn't real incest because of the made of wood thing) and was again reminded that we share a planet with some people that I probably wouldn't enjoy a drink with in real life....

Thanks.

And I agree: someone who gets angry at a fairy tale is someone I don't need in my life.

Some people only have anger.

 

[StillStunned]

Some people only have anger.

I know. You'd think that fairy tales might help them to get in touch with their inner child - just for the formulaic way of writing - and relieve some of that anger.

Some will apparently insist that this exactly what happened even when it obviously didn't.

Then you have the ones that either in a very long comment, or in private feedback tell you their story. "I had this teacher once and...." Who knew so many pro porn stars who can fuck five women at once for five hours at a time read here?

The worst is the ones with their 'real' incest stories that talk about "It started when I was 11..."

Sometimes I just want to Gibbs-slap commenters. The story is called Careful You Don’t Get Caught.

We’ll duh! I suppose I could have put an authors note that said, “The title ironic foreshadowing,” so it would be a little more obvious….

 

[Zootonius]

One of my first stories was an incest tale that took three chapter to reach the incest. Part one was full of sex (a swinger's party actually) with neon sign pointing to where the story was headed. Yet someone complained on part one, Not an incest story, yet!

Today I received a 733 word critique of Cuckquean Cruuse. It’s like a college professor grading a paper. Even gave me a numerical score.

Aha! The infamous Stacnash rides again! I've never had the pleasure of receiving one of her essays, but from what I understand, your average college professor will be much too time-poor to write like that, but will be a hell of a lot more objective. You can probably convince yourself of that by looking at her list of 1-2 star authors and seeing some of the luminaries who have been relegated there.

But it's very hard to disagree with her list of Elite Authors.

I wouldn’t dare, except to mention that I think that a couple of those on the 1-2 star lists would go nicely in the elite list as well

 

[Kumquatqueen]

I just got Stacnashed! (I'm a 3-star author, apparently) They were actually very complimentary, telling me I'm a better writer than this lazy story (Only One Bed, Again!) portrays. Some complaints about clichés.

Thing is, that story was my attempt to write in a category that generally repulses me, and to see if I could write a I/T story that met my own requirements of vaguely in the real world, while pushing enough buttons for the general American and incest-loving audience to give it a red H. So yes, it's a slightly heavy-handed advert on behalf of the Scottish Tourist Board, but that was on purpose. And the intended audience liked it enough to rate it Hot, despite the siblings 'only having a one-night stand'.

Mission accomplished, in minimal effort. just as Stac noted.

I wish I could get Stacnash'd. Girl can dream, I guess. : (
