Comments That Make Your Day

Loved how sexy a story this was without all the usual contrived fellatio and cunnilingus... she's obviously a bit paranoid about his intentions and very desperate for a decent lay, and soon, and you can see the pictures he's painting too. This is a really well written short. I love it.

Comment in Fathers, Brothers, and Sons:

NTH's formula: 1. woman abuses man, 2. man gets angry, 3. inexplicably decides to not take any of the real world steps, 4. man finds a way to blame either himself, or some other man for woman's actions, 5. man learns to like the abuse and view living in his shitty pigsty as some sort of a heroic, virtuous deed, 6. comments about how romantic the story was and how well written.




You know? Fair.
 
Sometimes a story connects on a personal level with a reader and A Crazy Little Thing appears to have done that with member crazymike45.

This is the best story I have ever read on this sight. I admit. I am very biased as this story hits very close to home for me. The story is very smooth and easy to read without obvious spelling or grammatical errors. I liked the main characters and was easily drawn into their lives. In addition, the sex scenes were very erotic without being overly technical or fantastical. I felt happy when I finished the story and could envision a HEA. I did not feel anything was left unfinished. A solid 5 because there is no 10.

Thanks, Mike! That comment made my day. 😄
 
@PennyThompson and I published an epistolary non-human story a few days ago as a follow-up to Penny's brilliant 'Mothman is real: he's my boyfriend'. It's had a friendly niche readership and we've received some lovely comments so far as well as reflections on the epistolary format. We had debated long and hard whether to put it into erotic horror (we didn't), and how far to take the creepy non-consensual and mind-control aspects within the format and within the context of our own boundaries. So one comment that really made my day was from @Eosphorus:

Congratulations to both of you on a wonderful story. There is so much I want to praise but the best compliment I can give you is I am not a fan of erotic horror whatsoever but that didn’t matter. I loved the story and how well you both wrote it. It went from fascinating as I learned about a new topic to suspenseful to thrilling and then ended on a hot note.

Mission accomplished, I think. There are some categories and forms that I don't think I'll ever attempt, but I feel a bit more ready for the next Halloween now!
 
Good story, well told. I love your work, it's very visual, very polished, almost poetic. There's a cadence that I can't quite grasp, but I can feel. This was hot, and I felt myself in Lisa's place. Thank you for sharing!
I've often described my style using almost exactly the same words, but only because readers have said it. It's a nice affirmation of my story-telling.

You're My Last Flight

I wish you had warned us this was cuck shit. I’m glad I skipped a bunch of pages.

Fuck you! Didn't get past your rant at the start and you stating you weren't going to waste time explaining stuff to us dumbasses. If we could give minus scores you'd sure as hell get one from me.

As I was reading, I'd hear a rota of Leslie Gore's 60's hit, "You don't own me", followed by Jefferson Airplane's "Want Somebody To Love", and Helen Reddy's "I am Woman" in the back of my mind.

THANK YOU for a very human story!

Great to see a realistic attitude from pragmatic servicemen. This is pretty much my story from my time in the seventies. Once you get over the idiotic idea that monogamy is the only way you free yourself of pain,anger, guilt and jealousy. You are then free to get on with the job of staying alive.
All the useless wankers who sit on their arses at home being all sanctimonious and selfish need to either join up and learn about the real world or remove themselves from it to make room for the real men of the warrior class..
A brilliant story about some people making wise choices and making a positive impact on the world.

It's interesting to note that the haters admit to not reading the story!
 
So, this isn't necessarily about any single comment, so much as it is about the person commenting. @THBGato, in addition to being an incredible writer, is one of the most generous and prolific commenters on the site. Also, she always goes out of her way to promote the work of others, something for which I am extremely grateful. Last week, I worked myself up into quite a mess, trying to finish my latest for The Heroism event. At one point, I seriously considered just giving up. A very timely and thoughtful comment from Ms. Gato on one of my older stories gave me the push I needed to follow through. Thank you for everything you do around here, ma'am. It's very much appreciated, and you've certainly made my day!
 
@Two21B **blushes** So glad you did finish it, as it is an absolute triumph. Made me weep for all of those with family members currently in conflict zones. You picked Iraq in 2003, but today it could be Ukraine, Gaza, the West Bank, Kashmir, Congo, wherever. Such a moving and important story.

Beautiful suite. 5⭐

This is even original on Lit. A blended family in its first steps.

With its tensions, with its murderous phrases, with its deep silences, with the uncertainty of how to act or behave.... Time for everyone to accept each other and find their place within this new entity.

It was original, but at the same time so realistic, unlike all those stories where families are rebuilt in 5 minutes.

Thanks for sharing.
 
“the best love story i have ever read. Thank you

its better to have loved and lost than never to loved at all.

but it still hurts a lot.”

From my story Mrs. Jones’ Meter Reader

Most of the comments hoped for/requested a follow up story about the two protagonists getting together again but not every relationship ends up with a happy ending, even in the fictional universe of Literotica.
 
Just got one of those comments that tells you that you nailed it. It is on my WIWAW about my convention of the Chekov’s Babe. Anonny correctly notes that their comment contains spoilers for the end of Alistaire at USC, so you’ve been warned...
I think we need to form a support troop for readers you’ve tortured. I’m still recovering after finding out Alistair’s soulmate. I have to admit his choice was well developed, but I badly wanted it to be Maddie. Too many sweet moments. I’m still heartbroken.
Note: I slightly edited his comment, because Anonymous here seems to believe that you need a space before periods, not just after...

I fully agree with the support group idea, but Alistair made the right choice.

A lot of comments went through my mind as I read this, many of them covered by others. The only one I'll make is the 42 years. Surprisingly powerful, as there are parallels in my own life. I had a girlfriend my last year college. She went to medical school in Texas, I went to graduate school in Maryland. The distance and time commitments were too great; we went on with our lives, careers, families. Kept in loose touch throughout all that. Re-established close contact recently, 20 after her husband died, 10 years after my own divorce. After 42 years we got together, for good this time.

It is ultimately satisfying when your story connects with a reader like this.
 
I've been very pleased with the comments on Hard Way Home, the story of a young woman in the Northwest Territory in the 1780s and early 1790s. Here are three that struck a particular chord:

I’m almost always a sucker for historical fiction, but this one really stands out. The research seems accurate and exhaustive, the setting is vivid and draws the reader in, and the action is believable, but is the characters and their emotions that bring it home for me. I feel like I know what they’re feeling, and why they do what they do. That’s the mark of a talented writer. <snip>

Such a well written story that almost needed no erotic elements to be worth reading in this forum. 5🌟

A substantial work which reminds me of Dances with Wolves.
Thanks for giving us the benefit of your great talent.
 
I've had a lot of lovely comments on my Nude Day story, Naughty and Nude, which was actually quite surprising. I expected there'd be a few disgruntled readers complaining how I cut off the action "too early", and while there was one or two who's pointed it out, overall the sentiment was positive!

My favorite was actually this anonymous comment:

Wow--Saying that was smokin' Hot is like saying the sky is blue!

Very well written--such fantastic, descriptive word choices---a vividly clear, erotically arousing, "video" for us.

Kudos.

because descriptive word choices is something I put a lot of focus on. It's great to see it recognized.
 
I got a private email comment from someone recently who was able to correctly identify the school that Alistaire’s prep school is based on. He even was so kind as to outline which geographical features and characters let him recognize it for sure. It was nice to know that at least one reader out there recognized my subtle memorial to times gone by, and shared a few of those emotions.

Yeah, neither one of us had a thousandth of the fun Alistaire did there...

I've seen a whole total of one chapter school in Connecticut, driving up the driveway and out again during a meander from NYC to Boston and after staying at an AirBnB nearby where they assumed that we were scouting for placements. I based my whole visualisation of Alistaire's playground on that glimpse of another world... it seemed totally plausible.
 
It is not a single comment as much as the entirety of them. @Flamethrow apparently went through and read my entire Friends series and added a lovely and meaningful comment to almost every story. Given that he has commented on almost 2000 stories, I am guessing he comments on everyone he reads. But it still feels special to get all those comments

Thank you @Flamethrow
