What's the difference between a story review and a story highlight?
A review is solely the opinion of the one reading it and ultimately reviewing it and, for sure, it is more indepth. The reviewed opinion given may or may not have anything to do with what the author intended, when writing his or her story.
Why am I taking the time to do this? It's my way of giving back to Literotica. Who am I to do this? I'm just a person who loves to write.
Writing is such a lonely proposition. We pour out our hearts and souls for the pleasure, hopefully, of the reader. Moreover, except for Sir Scouries, we all write for free here.
Only, what if few, instead of many read your story? What if your story was unfairly judged or bashed? Don't you wish you had a second chance at catching someone's attention? Wouldn't you like your story given the same attention received, as those stories, by those same authors, who routinely sit at or near the top of the board?
Every day there is a wealth of new stories posted. The stories post in a way that is not coincidental, as you may have imagined. I dare say that, just as Literotica has out of favored authors, Literotica has favorite authors.
I couldn't help but notice that many of the same authors post near the very top of the board, while others routinely post at the bottom. Why is that? How sad is that to see your story, the one you worked so hard writing, on page 2 of the new story board.
Every writer works as hard to write his or her story. Every writer truly believes that their story is good, before posting it and making it public. Certainly, not all writers have the same talent, but personalities and biased opinions should be removed from the equation, when posting stories to the board. Yet, it is obvious how management feels about certain authors posting here, and if you don't like it, leave is the message here.
Nonetheless, my message is not personal, political, or disgruntled. I equally embrace every story and every writer with a second chance for a second look. I only hope to give a select few stories that may have been missed and not read a second chance.
Everyone deserves a second chance. Not all of us gets to dance in the spotlight. After the curtain has closed, the light has gone out, and the fat lady has sung, before your story falls off the board into the great abyss of stories, maybe I can put a flashlight of interest on it, again.
