Feedback Fun!

[PeytonMirabelle]

So a while back, I asked about authors' favorite feedback (and thank you all who responded, those were uplifting, encouraging responses).

But what about the ones that left you shaking your head? I just got this on one of my stories:

Sorry, couldn't get past page two... while the writing was fine, she was such a whore it made me sick and I didn't want to read any more of her story!

I'm afraid I started laughing, almost uncontrollably. I was like, "Buddy ... you're on a website for smut literature. What were you expecting?" I'm not going to moderate it, because that was their opinion and it's fine ... but still.

So how about it, y'all? Have you had one that made you laugh or left you flabbergasted because it was so out there?

 

[PeytonMirabelle]

I'm 'flabbergasted' by your excessive 'reaction'. I'm also not interested in stories about 'whores' on Lit; I'm more into the romantic works. You consider that to be something weird for Lit-readers? The variety of stories on Lit is huge, and I'm sure 'your' reader can find plenty of stories (s)he does enjoy.

Hmm. Okay:
- I didn't respond to the poster, I kept the reaction to myself before posting this. Is laughing at blunt feedback excessive?
- I didn't call them 'my' reader. They absolutely should find the stories they like. I hope everyone does. I read stories here all the time I don't get into; I just backspace out. They're free to leave the stark feedback they want before they leave, and I'm free to be amused by it.
- No, that does not make their--or your--tastes weird. Read what you like. I only found the need to leave irritated feedback somewhat strange.

The real irony is that in the story in question, the "whore" ultimately settles down and finds more fulfillment in a longer-term relationship.

I suppose you and I will just look at it through a different lens, Ruben. It's all good.

Yeah, I had one like that. In the third paragraph of a ten page romance, my recently-divorced childless narrator wonders if he should still buy Christmas presents for his ex-wife's niece and nephew. I was just establishing him as a thoughtful, family-oriented kind of guy. After the story had been up for about for about six months, I got this comment...

Who cares what your ex-wife wants!

Don’t buy your ex-wife’s blood relatives anything. You are no longer are related! You would better off to buy presents for orphans and poor children who don’t get any presents!​

I must have really hit a nerve. Who hurt you anonymous commenter? Who turned your heart to ice?

I received this 'comment sandwich' for my story The Gauntlet. The middle one made me laugh, mostly because it's so overdone and pointless, but also because the comments immediately before and after were so positive.

what a great idea and beautifully written. I can't wait for more chapters as her education continues.

I've had plenty of feedback like this, and I shake my head at it too. It's interesting to see the little things that can prevent a person from enjoying a story, and the extreme reaction certain types of smut induce in the smut readers here.

I enjoy stories about characters who push boundaries and do extreme things, and that turns some people off. But what puzzles is why they even start reading the story because usually they should be able to see what's ahead from the category, tags, title, and description.

Fuck you. If you don't like something then ignore it you gay bitch dyke whore liberal shit eater.

No context given, so I'm not even sure what it was that ruffled his feathers, but he doesn't seem very good at following his own advice.

Every story posted here is a literary Rorschach test.

Imaging being so angry that this is how you write a positive comment...

Ignore.all of the miserable demented so called men who are complaining

by Anonymous user on 01/12/2020

They are so twisted and gross that they get off on the knowledge that they are parhetic losers who famtasize about penis and simply refuse to acknowledge their inherent homosexuality or bisexuality.

They certainly claim to love women and their wives but it is secondary to their big cock fetish. There is also the fact that most of them are secretly racist.

The real reason they're pissed off at you is because your story highlights their own inadequacy and their shame. They know they should love their wives and be sexually attracted to their wives and devoted to their wives but they are not. Even if they don't cheat they are not devoted enough to ensure that they have a healthy and loving devoted relationship to each other. Instead they seek every opportunity to find a way to have their wives engage in sexual activity not for the wives fulfillment but for their own sick twisted and demented personal fantasy

I mean, I'm glad you liked the story, but calm the fuck down.

Have you ever written a story and been more surprised by what readers DIDN'T comment on rather than what they did?

For example, in 2019 I wrote an Incest/Taboo fantasy series called 'Body Swap With Sister's Boyfriend', where a nerd swaps bodies with his twin sister's jock boyfriend. The IT readers for the most part hated it, giving it low scores and leaving vitriolic comments.

When I posted the last chapter I braced myself for a tidal wave of angry comments attacking not only the last chapter but the series in general. However, hours, days, weeks and months went by without a single comment, and 18 months later still not a single comment.

Could be it was so vitriolic that not a single comment made it through the approval process or maybe they had all given up reading by the last chapter.

My comments so far have all been wonderful so I don't have anything to contribute.

Sudden illness completely took me out for sometime and I came back to find this.

The ridiculously careless typos put me right off what could have otherwise been a good story. If the author can’t be bothered to proof read it or get someone else to do it, I can’t be bothered to read it. These things do matter. Just because it’s erotic literature doesn’t mean it can be semi-literate.​

Bruh, there's admittedly much better porn out there. Go read that instead of salting in my box.

Also, can someone out there please tell me how many typos there are in Dawn's Orgasm Awakening cause I am no longer able to English.

I've had only one vitriolic comment, the sex turned rough and they said it ruined the story, which is fair enough. They may have been right about the tone changing too far.

One comment did leave me scratching my head: "I hate it when stories do that!!!"
It was anonymous so I couldn't even ask them what it was I'd done that they hated.

I've posted one Incest/Taboo story about a guy hooking up with his aunt through an app. One guy posted his disdain for anal in an incest story. I was a bit off put by the idea that sex with a blood-relative was kosher as long as there was no butt stuff. People are strange and you never know how much so until you read the anonymous comments.

The IT readers can be very funny about certain things.

For example, I wrote one story series on IT in which periods featured quite a lot, although more played for laughs than erotica. I figured that people who want to read erotic stories about people who share DNA wouldn't be bothered by the fact that women have menstrual blood coming out of their vaginas every four weeks.

As it turned out, I was wrong about this, and some very angry IT readers minded very much.

I wrote a poem about hoping a guy noticed me and praying he wouldn’t. The feeling of sexual attraction and anxiety.

A guy commented "You should have sucked his dick, than you would have at least had a full belly when he left with someone else. "

It was just mean for the sake of being mean, so I promptly deleted it. It just strikes me as odd that anyone would leave a comment like that.
