You get a lot of nasty comments and low ratings in Loving Wives, but ...

[JenniferSmithJones]

.., you also get more views and comments than in almost any other category.

Kind of like Howard Stern's audience: a lot of them are listening to see what he'll say next that will piss them off.

 

[SimonDoom]

Yes, definitely.

 

[MelissaBaby]

More comments, but the comments suck. Like that old joke about the restaurant where "the food is terrible and they only give you small portions."

Filter out the worst of the comments and you're often still ahead, particularly if you've managed to soften their cold, crusted hearts.

Some of them suck. Many don't. The Loving Wives category is a good example of the psychological phenomenon whereby people give greater weight to bad news than good. There still are many readers who want to read stories about extramarital fun, but everybody pays attention to those who don't.

Are there any stories in the Loving Wives category where the wives are actually loving?

To give the LW readers some credit, they will praise writing and plots if they think its good.

It's also kind of impressive in a twisted sort of way the amount of effort some readers will go to in reading stories and finding and condemning any sort of behaviour that they perceive to be cuckold.

As one example with one of my stories 'Bad Things Happen on April 15' which runs for 15 pages and is about the Titanic disaster in 1912. The narrator is the cheated upon husband John, who is a really nice guy, sort of like Lon Hammond from The Notebook. In one scene John is hidden in a wardrobe, watching his cheating wife and her lover, an unlikable playboy, getting it on together. That he remained hidden in the closet - he finds himself unsure of what he should do given what he had suspected has proven to be true plus they are hundreds of miles out at sea - and does not emerge to confront his wife and her lover apparently made him a cuckold, and worthy of strong condemnation in the comments.

Depends on your definition of 'loving' I guess.

Quoting whoever said this because I can't think of their name at the top of my head... They're loving someone, alright.

I would have to ask how you portrayed the husband. Was he reluctant because he'd be accused of being a pervert? Was he gathering evidence to confront and divorce the wife later? Or was he pulling his pud, or coming in his pants as he watched and too conflicted to say anything later? The reaction would differ wildly as would the scoring.

 

[WCSGarland]

Well, in my Untethered Hearts series, even though the wife sets out to have her husband seduced so that she has grounds to divorce him, she discovers that she would prefer to remain married to him.

My LW story featured a very loving wife. Albeit one who is also comfortable with promiscuous polyamory. It was atypical but still got trashed of course.

I've had some pretty nice comments in LW, actually. Yes, there have been a couple of toxic ones, but they were easily deleted. As for the few that simply said, 'boring!', well, they're entitled to their opinions. So, yes, the ratings I've received are about .5 - .75 lower than if the story had been posted elsewhere, but overall I don't feel I have very much to complain about.

I don't usually bang my own drum, but my FMC is rather loving in this one I posted three weeks or so ago:

[OddLove]

I've read enough of other writers experiences about the loving wives category that I'll never have interest in posting it. Even if I somehow managed to write a story that didn't have kink/BDSM in it, I would probably just throw it in gay, lesbian, or erotic couple depending on characters.

 

[lovecraft68]

It's quantity over quality.

Not to say you can't get some good comments from normal readers, but you have to weed through a lot of crap to find them.

That is unless you've perfected a formula to kiss every faction's ass to appease them, but at that point you're not writing, you're pandering. I don't have a lot of ideas that go there, but when I do, that's where I'll put it. Fetish is safer if you want to avoid the heat, but LW is where anything involving a hotwife/cuck in any context belongs whether they like it or not. The fact the nuts there try to scare people away from it makes it more important to keep posting there. One person here decides what belongs there and they don't care about the feelings of trolls.

Hate there is a badge of honor for those who will not be told they can't put their story there and will not be bullied or driven off by the crazy factions. People who truly write for themselves will put something there and just deal with the abuse. I give a lot of props to good readers there as well because they are often attacked in comments for having the nerve to like a story there.

Are there any stories in the Loving Wives category where the wives are actually loving?

Yes, there are plenty of stories of loving and caring wives.

"He Missed You – (750 Word Project)" "My wife's return from a business trip."

"AI Era: Her New Toy" "The wife tries a new toy".

"Neverland, Don't Go Back There!" "A wild youth past now threatens her marriage."

There is no cheating, sharing, or any extra-marital sex in these, just a loving couple. And there are others in LW.

And to those I will add this one: An Enjoyable Thank You (750 word story)

Lots, depending on your definition of “loving.” What specifically are you looking for?

…

I feel like a drug dealer now.

Problem with those is what's the draw? Those stories could be fine in romance or erotic couplings but a story of a husband with his wife and....what?

Meh.

Mostly just curious I suppose. Anything where the couple end up happy and together.

 

[iwatchus]

I have to say, my lone venture into LW had mostly positive comments and still has my most comments, favorites, votes and views. And my lowest rating. I probably won't write there again, but I want to write happily ever after stories, not because of the comments or the rating. I like to be happy not driving myself crazy with vengeful jealousy. And yes I feel every emotion the characters feel.

 

[Lifestyle66]

I write many such "happy ending" stories and post them to Loving Wives.

But most of my "happily married" couples also are not jealously monogamous and believe in seeing their spouse "happy' even if that's with someone else in bed.

Try reading: "A Gathering of Trolls" "Ambitious friends look in on the slut and her husband," to see a humorous look at them spying on a happily married couple.


EDIT: Here's another Loving Wives story with a happily ever after, and there's no extra-marital sex (for the MC or her husband):
"Good Answer" "Do you take this woman to love until the end of time?"
