Comments That Make Your Day

Comments - are they worth the effort to read? Here's what I got for Flying Monkey, the last story I'll ever post in LW. This is an example of the comments

Wow! Great story that made me choke up a little while my hair was standing up a little. My favorite Halloween story this year.

Wow, this is awful. I can’t believe the Number people think that this crap is good.

I'm not sure who Number people are, but I want to write for them more often

Forget the bad comments! You've got 33K reads and 40+ comments on a story posted 4 days ago. That's a lot of eyeballs, and if you allow for the dodgy mph to knots conversion, the score isn't that bad. Please don't make it your last LW....

I know! That's the most eyeballs in 4 days I've ever received, but I'm not a LW writer. I'm more of a Happily Ever After kinda guy. My only other LW story is The Preacher and the Chocolate Lady which I wrote to troll the LW trolls.

Getting a comment from another well known author is always a huge plus. I was really excited to see this one.

Millie is an awesome writer and a lot of fun to chat with. If you got her all heated up, you're an incredible writer... but you may want to keep your doors and windows locked,

So I, in a fit of grumpiness not related to Literotica, mentioned in my usual afterword on my latest chapter that we all have jobs; My job is to write the stories, my characters have the jobs they are doing, and the readers’ job arounf here is to comment...

I do have to comment, but the comment needs not be pertinent!
Great so far, keep going

I volunteer for many things, but I absolutely freaking HATE being told what to do. So enjoy your comment...
<laugh>

The rest of the comments reveal that I’m doing a better job with the main writing trick in this series than I feared, but not a perfect one. I’m trying to keep people interested through a slow burn reveal of what the hell the plot is in the first place, and am three chapters and about 31K words in without revealing that answer, even in part… all on a stroke story site.
Turns out, vast amounts of “random” sex will help with that challenge...

 

[MillieDynamite]

No, I don't think you were. Just kidding, maybe not, well sure just kidding. I misspelled held damn stupid me. Or perhaps it was both heald me and held my interest done in a damn clever way. Yes, let's go with that!

From @Actingup

Now you need to lift your commenting game, Mr Publius - get reading! FWIW, I really enjoyed this episode - it seemed very comfortable and on brand for you, and that’s a good place to be. The primordial intelligence lurking beneath the hotel isn’t getting in the way of unreasonably epic bonking, and that’s just fine. Incidentally, this seems like it could be a place where you could run your own Litcon convention with just your characters at the hotel!

Oh, wow. You have no idea (yet) how much that would fit. And in how many ways… Bwahahah

Funny, I used that line on a date no too long ago.

Really wanna thanks @Actingup for this truly kind first comment on my first new story in four months.

DJmac, this is a legit five stars. It's a really well paced, theme-appropriate story that navigates adroidly through the social awkwardnesses you describe as well as your writer's block. It also serves as a lovely model of modern sexuality for those who are still stuck in conversion therapy-land. Sexy, funny, and just cringy enough to make it real. Also good that the only 12 inches in the story was the height of a parabolic arc. Well done.

Really appreciate the feedback and so happy you understood the intent of the story.

The Geek Girl is now up for everyone's viewing...um, reading pleasure.

And thank you, @Djmac1031 for returning the favour. If I'd known you were going to do that, I would have warned you that the bad boss had an unfortunate name, but you made my day with your reaction:

But I must ask: what did I ever do to you to deserve THIS?
"DJ was a smarmy, overbearing, transparently insincere narcissist"

 

[metropolinational]

My latest chapter from the Botched series got some really beautiful comments. Here are two that caught my eye. As always, it's so incredibly humbling to read them!

Buddy, this has been one of the wildest rollercoasters I've been on. Seriously, can't wait.

reading this story I have had a laugh. I have cried but most of all Ive been spellbound. Not something I expected from a story on this site!! Hope it never ends!! Thanks so much.

So there I am, just reading and enjoying, then get to that part and was like, "Damn! Shots fired!"



Seriously though, I knew it had nothing to do with me, just coincidence.



I wanna reread your story later because I was a little sleepy last night and I'm sure I missed some nuanced details.

My Halloween story features a jeweler and a young Roma woman and includes a scene where he explains to her the difference in pure (24 karat) gold and the gold alloys typically used for jewelry making. These few lines become critical at a certain point later in the story.

I read it with unalloyed pleasure. Thank you!

With the current notifications issue, I was lucky to discover the comment on my own, but it made me chuckle periodically for the rest of the evening. Thank you, Anon, for the clever play on words and the great tie in to the story.

Someone left a comment on one of my stories. My first one.

I think they liked it.

I can't feel my face and don't know what to do with my hands.

Getting feedback is wild.

As a writer within the genre of horror, I can't imagine any higher praise than when your readership leaves a comment that shows their abject shock and revulsion with the direction your story has gone.

I want to give the person that left the comment a comforting hug, but also laugh like a mad woman.
If you are the person that left this anon comment: Thank you, and I'm sorry.

 

[Actingup]

Comments and comment notifications seem to be disrupted a bit with the recent turmoil, but I came across this one on 'Jade and the Unicorn Affair' after getting a notification that the same user had favourited the story. Nice.

Absolutely masterful - one of my all-time (10+ years) Literotica favourites.

 

[Djmac1031]

Just got this in an email from the Feedback option on my story from a few years ago, April Fools Daddy:

This is a fine piece of writing; for me not the slightest bit erotic but worth ten or maybe a hundred times the effort I spend looking for gems in the piles of 4.5+ stories I attack on slow days

I'm taking that as a win on several levels because:
1: while there are sexual elements and imagery, there's no actual sex

2: The story was written for the April Fools challenge, and so of course received mixed reviews, because I presented it as an incest story but again, there's no sex, let alone incestuous sex.

3: The commenter actually read the thing despite my story only being rated at 4.17 and yet they felt it was worth it over some higher rated stories.

 

[SkyBubble]

I’ll take poetic imagination. Sounds amazing.

I'm sorry, but for that you'll need a poetic license.

I liked this comment on one of my stories:

"I'd love to know how you knew so much about her show process. Sounds almost as if you have firsthand experience! I'd love to read another!"

And this:

"Nice dream. I wish I could have found or find someone who was that anxious to have me inside her."

"Great story! Thanks for the many pleasures I've gotten from this story."

"I like this story intertwining four naked bodies in two beds with the boyfriends fucking their girlfriends."

"Really hot and completely believable. Kept me really interested."

"A boy looking for some sexy action help a girl visiting from another state to break the law. Laws about erotica? WOW! if you're curious you're going to enjoy reading about Sally.

Nicely Written and enjoyable!"

This one always makes me laugh: "I swear this would be so good if it weren't about her." (IOW, the commenter thinks the story is good, but objects to who I was writing about.)

I just got this in an email on a story that used to be posted here under Loving Wives (and was submitted to the "All the Filthy Details" podcast, they loved it, the people of Loving Wives however, loathed it.) I submitted it elsewhere and the site owner responded to it with this:

Hi Lizzette, I just finished reading Tainted Love, and it undid me. So much so that tomorrow's email lede will be focused almost solely on your story because it represents everything we believe in.

 

[Duleigh]

This one made my entire month. It was posted on Gods Save The Queen Book 1 - a book I loved writing so much!


What a beautifully written story. Your imagination is indescribable. I just binge read the three chapters and look forward to more adventures in book two
Thank you for writing
