May I hazard a guess that this story is in the infamous LW category? If so, this is pretty much par for the course, whatever you write (unless you can find a way for the wife and her lover(s) to get spontaneously nuked at the end).

If you want to continue writing in that category, this is something you're going to have to live with. You could turn public comments and/or votes off if it really bothers you.

You should consider growing a thicker skin or turn comments off. Lit can be a hard proving ground for a writer. Besides your scores are consistently up in the 4's so you evidently have many fans who appreciate your work.


I noticed that four of the examples are that Anonymous guy - a person I know well and who has suggested acts for me to perform that are both anatomically impossible and probably very uncomfortable. Occasionally he will have something useful to say, but often it's wrapped in so many bad manners that it can be hard to spot.

The one commenter mentioned by name is in fact giving you a valid suggestion. Whether or not you agree is entirely up to you - the person doesn't pay you and thus can hardly demand anything.

Three of my all time favorites:

"Take your disrespect for husbands and go away..far, far away. Pull the battery out of your laptop (maybe use it on your vibrator) and cut the power cord on the desktop. World has no use for subhumans such as yourself."

"I agree, you are a husband hating lesbo, I hope you stay single and don't have kids, and no no no, you did not turn me on."

"Your feelings for your husband are those of a classic man-hater. Such a lucky guy."

Those are grounds on which I dare not tread...

Seriously, my stories get enough flak without being about cheating wives and the like.

Well first off understand you wrote in the LW category.

Everyone knows that is far and away the most hate filled category on lit. The posters there are sicker than people think incest readers are (actually except for the kink itself I have found incest readers to be pretty mellow) and more violent and depraved than anyone in the non con forum ever could be.

Most of the readers there are obviously scorned frustrated men who live to lash out behind the safety of the net. They are the most ignorant, rude, insufferable group of small dicked losers you will ever find in one place and that is their good qualities.

having said that you should practice "look at the source" and not take them to heart. These people try to beat up on everyone and you're no different. Speaking of "you're" the last comment said "your" so add semi literate to the list of enviable traits the LW crowd has. Never mind the idiot who types all in caps to sound extra important.

I know it can be frustrating to deal with sad little men like this, but it is what happens when you post on a public site.

They will pick on you know matter what. Seems a couple of comments mention to much violence and rape. really? From a category that features wives being sold into sexual slavery and raped for the rest of their lives? They will bitch about anything and everything. I can promise you the posters who complained of rape will comment on another story and say the wife should have been raped.

If you have an issue with this, then when you post in LW disable the comments and votes on that story and keep them open in others. Odds are you are not missing out on many good remarks and if someone wants to say something good they can contact you through the feedback system.

I understand for some people it is easier said than done, but you need to learn that these comments are not personal no mater how these jerks try to make them be and by letting them affect you, you are giving those sad little men the only erection they ever get these days.

So if you can't take the heat, stay out of the LW kitchen and post somewhere else.

For instance seeing most of the comments mentioned rape or at least simulated rape, why didn't you post it in non consent? You would have taken less heat there.

As for your scores report one, not all, of your stories and say you feel you are being trolled. You can follow that up with a PM to laurel and a link

You know on my one LW entry which I wrote specifically to aggravate these morons I had a boat load of them say I was a female because it is beyond their comprehension that not all men hate women the way they do.

Now the fact I am a man hater made that all the more fun because you know everyone of these losers is either divorced or sits home while his wife fucks a real man.

And that is the source of their anger. They are not man enough to satisfy their women therefore all women are evil!

Jeez, this is getting me wound up to write another LW story where the guy gets his in spades.

Yeah, you gotta learn to embrace that shit if you write in LW.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Loving Wives, you just have to love the different factions there. I have written many a LW story and each one has had it detractors, until I turned off anonymous comments. Then the comments fell off drastically. The comments of those who liked it were still posted as they didn't mind having to post under their user name.

And until the anonymous posters created alts, well then the mean comments resumed.

Anyone who made comments like the ones you received, I just took to mean they really like the story, got off on the story, but were just so ashamed that they did, they had to post a mean, vindictive comment to transfer their guilt to you.

If I didn't get mean comments, I felt I hadn't done my job in the LW world.

I wrote to upset the idiots, especially those who thought the stories were real. To them I have one word...dumbshits.

 

[HeyAll]

I'm thinking of writing a story in the Loving Wives category where a wife has been cheating on her husband for years with men of different ethnic backgrounds.

The husband is a priest, but he's also a millionaire.

Somehow, the husband gets aids because of his wife's cheating, and the wife is somehow immune and is disease free. She admits that he cheated, then he dies later.

The wife inherits all of his money and lives happily ever after.

That should go over well with the LW crowd.

Just make him a minster, Priests can't get married. Nor can they be millionaire's the only money they make comes from the Church.

A minor detail, but that crowd will jump right in on it and start saying how stupid you are.

Even though you are a minister. Yep, you will get a fine collection of mean comments about you, the wife and how stupid you are for writing it.

I've read that some diocese accept married priests from Episcopal diocese who want to work for the mackerel snappers.

Make the husband the leader of the Republican Party.

You're probably right, they'll make up something.

I was just trying to spare Hey all the inevitable "everyone knows Priests only fuck little boys" remarks.

Actually, I would most likely be the one to leave that one.

 

[lovecraft68]

Yes!!! Republicans are huge with the LW crowd, they hate women just as much!

 

[PennLady]

Thank you lovecraft68 for the reply. There is no violence in the story and certainly no rape. I have no idea where they get that idea other than an author's note containing a link to another story in the non-consent category. That one is ambiguous consent with no violence.

My story probably should not have been in LW. I asked in this forum about how to categorize the story:
"Where do I put this: An in-orgasmic actress who loves her husband wins the role of a lifetime staring in a sexy made-for-cable mini-series. She "unintentionally" discovers the joy and satisfaction of "simulated" sex on-camera with her co-star. She is ashamed of cheating and ashamed of being unprofessional and knows she will do it again. (Loving Wives? - I'm afraid to dip my toe in there again.)"

Replies indicated that LW was the suitable category, and Laurel evidently agreed because she declined to place it in any other category.

I don't write or read LW; it just doesn't appeal to me. Nor do I have the desire to poke the animals, as some do.

I know it's not original, but you do have to ignore the people who write such awful things. You have the ability to turn off anonymous comments, and voting, or delete comments or whatever. You are in control or some of that, at least, and you should use it. Just because you post, and just because anonymous comments are allowed, does not mean you have to let yourself get pummeled or upset.

But all over the internet -- and often IRL -- people say hurtful things. You can only control what you do, what you think. Don't let these guys run you out of writing.

I see two things. One, you chose to write in a category that is infamous, notorious, for the venomous comments. Second, you need to find a way to deal with the comments. Good luck.

 

[Tx Tall Tales]

You're not alone...

In case you're wondering, this is very common. I've had some success on here, and these are just a few comments from a single LW story, and not my harshest. I think it's score is around 4.25 at the moment. Depending on trolls and sweeps, it scored anywhere from 3.9 to 4.5.

A cursory look at their comment writing skills should help you feel better

Seriously, these people have never heard of punctuation, capitalization, sentences or grammar? And they judge your writing.

What a absoulte pile of drivel this story was. I'm sure that there are enough little cucky's here to vote the story high but it really only deserves a 1*

zed0 - 02/08/13 - Sick
You bitch writers idea of men is disgusting, you really need to get fucked more and pick up an STD or two, might mellow you out a little.
The poor little wimp didn't get to fuck in return, then hugged the guy who he let fuck his wife. I'm surprised you didn't have him watch them fuck, and get a little cream pie afterwards. I really don't have anything against gays or lesbians, but you are one sick male bashing dyke.
I will attempt to vote more than once from a number of different computers just to make sure you lose this contest, and become so discouraged that you never writie this crap ever again.

Anonymous - 09/29/13 - Bullshit...
Only a weak spine coward (like the author) would accept these conditions. A normal man would tell her to shove her lover up her ass without Vaseline and kick the slut to the gutter. And, make sure her family, friends, and church associates know what a slut she is. Maybe she will burn in hell.

 

[lovecraft68]

I've always been someone who for some odd reason finds it funny when people get mad.

There are times if an argument starts in front of me I have to walk away so people don;t see me laughing.

These idiots in LW really crack me up, they get so damn angry over a stupid story that they some how seem unable to avoid reading.

I don;t read the category myself, because if I want to read about hate crimes against women I'll go to non con or read a republican blog, but I do go to the feedback forums and read the LW comments, they are better than the stories.

 

[Stella_Omega]

I wouldn't write married couples for this site.

You can, but they have to be into other women or men and be fine with it.

Married couples involved in consensual group sex do well here.

I've won two contests with it.

A Little Show, you've just got to ignore them. These are the same pricks who will five star a BDSM story that's got a chick with no safe word locked in a dog cage but get all up in arms if it's a guy who is voluntarily being dominated. Their comments are all about them and none about you.

Great comments in this thread, BTW, which could be because I'm loaded, but maybe non.

P.S. The phrase mackerel snapper does not get nearly enough use. Thanks for that JBJ. Need to re-read A Prayer for Owen Meany soonest.

And they are the exact readership the site is geared towards which I was happy to prove once and for all recently.

Guess somehow the site thinks women haters generate more money than women or men who don't hate women. Not sure how that conclusion would be made, but I am assuming there is some reason rapists are catered to here.

 

[Cruel2BKind]

If you want an experience writing a story with very little negative feedback (and you are indeed, a good writer) try writing in GM or scifi/fantasy. Very polite crowd.
