Lets share!

I will start.

So I recently, last day or so posted my first lit story... and I have been face palming ever since.

I got a comment today where the person liked the story, but got confused because, me being a twat didn't know my own characters name and changed it half way through....

I of course sent them a profuse thank you letter and am planning on hiding myself away until my cheeks stop burning...

Such a fail. next time I name a character it is going to be a series of random letters that I have to copy and paste. I am thinking something like Qwertyuiop. Shouldn't be able to fuck that one up right?

Don't feel bad. I did something similar in one of my stories a year or so ago. I mixed up two characters' names for a few paragraphs. Only one person mentioned it in the comments, no telling how many noticed and didn't say anything though.

edited: Of course it would be easy to go in and edit it out. But I'm basically lazy.

I had a story where the woman started off wearing black panties. Later on I mention that she had soaked through them to where it was visible. Obviously that would not show up in black so I swapped to pink and of course missed a couple of mentions.

I received a comment asking if they were mood panties:rolleyes:
 
Read and write enough stories and you will see all kinds of continuity mistakes. I have one where a character starts out as Russell Johnson, but ends up Russell Montgomery by the end of the story. No one has called me out on it yet, but it's there. It's only a matter of time.
 
Switching names is pretty common--and almost impossible for the author to catch him/herself. Once the character is in your mind, you just read through their names without realizing you've changed the name, which commonly happens when you've gone away in the writing process and returned later to it.

Obviously he got married between scenes.

You could always say you missed an apostrophe and it was supposed to be "Russel's Johnson"
 
I got called a goober gobbler by anonymous. That was mortifying.
 
Just got a story back today from the editor in which I changed the protagonist's name half way through. :D

Wasn't Russell Johnson "The Professor" on Gilligan's Island? I'd read a nice erotic story about him and MaryAnne.

I didn't know that.

It would have taken a lot more work to get Russell's Johnson into the story. He got cock blocked in the end. Or it could have ended with Russell taking his lonely Johnson home for a game of one on one.

And not to his girlfriend. That would have been par for him.
 
In one story I have the woman blindfolded, but later, without having taken off the blindfold, I have her wink. Nobody as yet has mentioned it, so I'm guessing, hohum, that nobody got that far into the story :(
 
My "Ah shit!" moment came when I received a comment about how my two main characters had "magically" switched positions in the middle of their oral foreplay. In the span of one freaking punctuation mark and without anyone changing positions, my main character went from having a tongue buried in his ass to being the one that was tossing the salad of the other main character. Three edits and proofreads and I never noticed that stupid move. :eek:

Rule number one when writing a gay male story is: While the sex won't be straight, you DO have to keep who is doing what to whom straight!

I flunked Erotica 101 with that one. :caning:

@ JKendallDane At least you know one person read your story! :p

Well two actually must have read it - that guy and the one that complained I didn't warn them it was going to involve incest. (Cousins. And gay cousins at that. Sheesh!) It's kind of hard to include a surprise if you announce the surprise up front. DUH!

Actually that one got some decent numbers for a GM stroker: nearly 37,000 views, 180 votes, and nine comments...along with a red H. :)
 
I'm still sad and crying after a reader accused my alt of being JAMESBJOHNSON in disguise. I had to lie. I confessed to being SR71PLT.
 
On an Embarrassing Moments thread, James, I'd think you'd note embarrassment at posting a "fuck you all, I'm leaving forever" thread to the GB a week and a half ago and then reappearing again so soon. :D

http://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=1195907 (headline: "Final Post Ever, Pay Attention") I was particularly amused by the perceived need to command us to "pay attention." :D

Awwwww I didn't respond to you. You wanna special fuck you note? OK. Fuck you. I'd think youre smart enough to know I don't embarrass or feel guilty or give a shit what anyone thinks...like theres a lay in it for me if I do. I do as I please and I come and go as I please. You don't matter.
 
I know you well enough to know you'll do anything for attention here, JBJ, including walking off in a "fuck you, you're not good enough for me" public huff and then come back as if you'd never left. No, I didn't think you were really going away. You're not dead yet and so you're still in the "pay attention" to me mode. :rolleyes:
