Accusations in Story Feedback

[Britva415]

Being called a .pdf would definitely make me have a .tiff with whoever said it.

Don’t even let’s get started on jiffs and gaypegs.

 

[nice90sguy]

It's very common to get accused of all sorts of things when you publish here. I've been called, a cheating wife, a cheating girlfriend, a perverted little slut (that one might hit close to home), a deviant degenerate, a thief (not for stealing a story but because a whore stole a man's money in story), fem lesbian Nazi, and other disgusting things.

Presumably you don't mean during sex.

 

[MillieDynamite]

In comments. Isn't that what this thread is about? Remember the rule, don't derail lest you get derailed. Then there is the golden rule, Only derail others who first derail you.

Like I said: those two I bolded are compliments, no matter how angry the tone is.

 

[beliefofmine]

I think there's always some subset of the readers who go into stories with expectations. If I'm thinking about the comment you're referring to, it sounds like they thought it would be an incest genre, and was disappointed.

Remember that you're not writing for everyone, it's impossible.

 

[Voboy]

Remember that you're not writing for everyone, it's impossible.

Yep.

Write for yourself. That way, you'll always have an appreciative audience.

 

[Bamagan]

Yep.

Unless you're full of self-loathing or the like.

It seems Stacnash has made her return... or just resurfaced after some time away under her troll bridge.

After trolling all of my published stories on Literotica back in February, she’s resurfaced by quietly adding the one story I repeatedly remind people is my absolute worst, to her favourites list.

Anyone familiar with her patterns knows what that probably means… that I’ve likely just been re-inducted into her notorious “Worst Authors on Lit” list…

What is her deal?

I imagine the 'deal' is attaining whatever satisfaction people get from being mean to each other.

For curating lists of insults? No. I believe they did get banned from posting in the forums, which may be contributing to why so many of the regulars here have appeared on those lists. If it's any consolation, making such lists is not much different than screaming at clouds to be more pleasing shapes.

 

[TheWritingGroup]

IMO, you're taking it too seriously. Stacnash panned my story, but ... they were right in some of their criticisms, and I didn't start posting here to get only positive reactions. The whole idea of this account is to get feedback, good and bad.

Thanks, Annie, yep, I get where you’re coming from, and I’m all for constructive criticism, even when it’s blunt. But in my case, the first comment from this user accused me of being a pedophile and included several other extremely personal and offensive remarks. That kind of comment crosses a line and can feel very serious depending on someone’s background or experiences. So I’m just trying to understand if there’s a way to address it/her constructively. If you read the rest of this thread you’ll see the issues I was having before, having to go (I didn’t have too, but I felt I had too), the extent of proving I am who I say I am .

If they leave a comment like that, aside from deleting it, you can always report it to the site for being defamatory, abusive language, or whatever is relevant to the accusations in question. I have done so on a couple of occasions. It might not do any immediate good, but it is against the site's policies to allow such comments, and if a user gets reported enough the site probably would eventually ban them, as the path of least effort if nothing else.

 

[SpicyBean99]

Stacnash accused you of pedophilia?

Indeed. Hence I had to leave this comment. She said many things. The original comment she made I deleted because it was disgusting.

 

[TheWritingGroup]

Wow. I'm sorry that happened to you.

She was critical of me, but not abusive like that. I had no idea.

You really shouldn't get upset over it. Instead, make some popcorn and be ready to have fun reading her review. There are so many people here who think they know a lot about writing and reviewing, but alas, that's really, really not so.

 

[TheLobster]

Don’t worry about her lists, she probably has order of magnitude more popcorn-chewing followers on this very forum than actual readers who value her alleged insights.

If she’s stooping to insults and defamatory accusations, however, then that’s crossing a line and you should report that to the mods.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

I must say though, her list for "Cheating by using AI" is gonna be a source for amusement here.

 

[justanormaldude87]

If it’s any consolation I have read all your stories and can understand the questions stacnash may or may not have posed. The ages of the girls are pretty dubious but then again you’ve stated earlier that you recognise that. I would stick to writing lesbian and panty theif stories as opposed to incest piss play with potentially underage twins.

If you haven't deleted that comment, report it. That will at least bring it to the site's attention for review.

It's worth noting, that an addition to stacnash's lists doesn't mean a "review" will follow.

She (I've been informed it's she, if this is incorrect, someone please let me know. I'd hate to unintentionally misgender someone) added me to her worst ever list about four months ago.

However, a comment from her never followed. And, to date, she's never commented on any of my stories, nor posted any attempt at a "review."

Whether this is because she chose not to comment, or because her comment broke the site's rules and was declined in moderation, I don't know. I can speculate (as could you) but both cases are possible.

It is curious though, that she just added this same story to her favourites again. On looking, I saw she'd added me to a new list titled:

Terms of Service Violations: Unconfirmed​

I noticed your story there too. I remember you because I thought it was really nasty of her to misgender you like she did.

Now, you might think this list is for stories which she's reported for breaching the ToS, however the site has yet to review the report (hence, unconfirmed) or something. Once the site confirmed it either way, you'd assume she'd move it to the appropriate list. Right? Nope.

Here's the hilarious thing about the list we're on. Read the description:

Those included here were reported to Literotica and were not found to have violated the ToS as it relates to banned content. However, all published material that is extreme and purposefully crosses the lines of acceptability.

So, let's get this straight. This is a list for stories which she THOUGHT broke the rules, and reported them. However, the site confirmed that the stories did not, in fact, break the rules at all. Meaning she was wrong.

Wouldn't this be a "opps, I was wrong about this?" list? or a "Confirmed not to be ToS violations" list? There are many titles she could choose which would be less misleading. Even "Unconfirmed ToS Violation Accusations" would be a smidge better. It's not the (non-existent) ToS violation with is unconfirmed, it's her accusation that could not be confirmed.

In one of these "reviews" (On a story on that list, obviously not mine) she said

This was a real shame because you wasted a terrific piece of writing by breaking Literotica’s ToS and content guidelines....It’s a pity because your writing is incisive and the sexual content has plenty of heat. I thought parts of this were elegant and your ability is both clear and obvious...The site administrators should take this story down based on the subject matter and I’ll approach them to ensure that they’re aware. For that sole reason, this can score no higher than a single star.

So... the writing was great and spoiled by the breaking of the TOS, and that had resulted in her not being able to give it no more than one star. She's now aware that the story does not violate the ToS. She has not (that I know of) gone back and amended that review (eg by posting a new one or a comment with a correction). Interesting behaviour...

And then there's the second part of that description.

However, all published material that is extreme and purposefully crosses the lines of acceptability.

Firstly, she says "purposefully" which suggests her knowledge of the author's intent, which (at least in my case) she cannot know. Then there comes the follow-up question of what she means by "acceptability."

One might assume she means what is acceptable to the site. However, that doesn't seem correct. By her own admission, she reported these stories, they were reviewed by the site, and were found to be acceptable to the site, hence why they were not taken down or amended. So, by this definition, they do NOT cross the line of acceptability.

For my part, I read the ToS prior to posting, and it's my intention when I post my stories that they are acceptable to the site, and violations or line crossing which might occur is unintentional. If I knew a story crossed the lines, I would not post it here (and, as far as "proof" goes, I've been working on an illustrated story since August 2024. I read the rules carefully to ensure it met the site's guidelines before I started it as it was my intention to post it here. However, just as I was considering beginning to start publishing, the site has changed it's rules on illustrated stories, making the images in my story no longer meet the site's view of what is acceptable. And, guess what? I didn't submit it here. Because I don't want to cross the line.)

So, one might deduce she means some other "line of acceptability." Eg, her own personal morals, or the rules of another site, or what most people in her country find acceptable or something else. However, that doesn't seem quite right either. Because she's stated we've "purposely" crossed this line. The only way we could have done that is for us to know what this line is. And I, at least, don't, and I can only guess that you and the other authors also do not know either.

WWW stands for the world wide web. There are authors from different countries, backgrounds, cultures. We all have different views on what is and is not acceptable. So what's the line? And, this is a site for sex stories. Surely every story on this site is not acceptable to someone, somewhere, in the world? Does that not mean, then, that every author is "crossing the line of acceptability" by posting here? Surely yes, but then it's silly to call it out for some authors and not others.

As it is, I'll never know* what rule Stacnash incorrectly** accused me of violating, or what line she's falsely accusing me of "purposefully" crossing. I do know my story isn't for everyone, but also I feel confident that it meets the current guidelines and that any genuine reader would not get past the title, category, tags etc without being able to deduce the themes and sexual kinks of the work.

*unless Stacnash feels like admitting it, of course.
**Incorrectly, meaning that, according to her, the site revied her report and found the report to be incorrect.

So, sorry for the long post. But the TLDR of what I'm trying to say, is the very list she's added your story to is a contradiction with a poorly-written and/or incorrect description and a misleading title. So instead of saying "just laugh at the troll" I gave a long-winded list of things to laugh about.

Though, I am sorry she stooped to misgendering you and throwing false insults. To me that, dare I say it...

purposefully crosses the lines of acceptability.

Pay no attention to IT.

 

[Kelliezgirl]

I wouldn't worry too much about Stac. She reported one of my stories, as a result of her complaints my story ended up back on the "new" list, got a few thousand more views and the score went up.
Apparently being on her "1 star do not read list" is good for business.
