umm what is happening right now

I don't know. I think this is the part where we're supposed to just smile and nod while keeping an eye out for an exit.

Or just get the popcorn and rubberneck.

It's an unattributed quote from another author in a different thread. I'm kinda poking the bear and seeing how long it's going to take them to notice. In other words, I'm bored...

okay, glad you didn't just dox yourself as having an alt who seems to be going through some stuff

Depending on how this goes, it might be best to do that from distance.

You know though, when someone has that kind of an overreaction, I have to wonder if maybe there is something going on with them that we aren't privy to, and it might be best to not poke at them.

Fair point. But then, this thread is for calling out things that cross an ill-defined at best line. I'd have posted it if it had been from everyone's favorite anonymous on one of my stories, too.

Fair. It’s your thread. I think the episode highlights that we can have multiple ill-defined lines and that it’s probably not useful to try and pin them all down.

On 'After her workmate's funeral', a short non-erotic piece I published in April, Anonymous wrote:

"On the way. You should have appeared here."

They also seemed to have voted it up - so, um, thanks! I just can't work out what the comment means.

Reminds me of a story about a guy who accidentally found himself at a snake handling church. When the snakes came out he saw that he couldn't get to the doors without going past a lot of snakes, so he asked the person next to him if the church had a back door.

"Why, no," the person responded. "We never thought we needed one."

"Well, then," the guy said, "I'm bout to tear y'all a new one."

“Was not aware of the darkness of this story. Hated it”

On a story in Mind Control with a pretty heavy content warning up front and “horror” as a tag…

Mystery solved, I think! Another comment appeared that seemed to suggest that this was an exploration of clearance time between comments.

I'm writing a nonconsent femdom story and I got comments saying that the guy was a little bitch and if he was a real man he'd tell her to go fuck herself. Do people just not bother reading the tags? If femdom isn't your thing that's fine, but why bother reading something you're not into? There are more than enough maledom stories for you to enjoy instead.

I find it amusing when commenters write about how they would get out of the kinky situation because they are much smarter and/or stronger and/or have much greater pride than the sub character

(Now to be fair to a degree it's always good to keep logistics in mind and not rely on the idiot ball too much, so in that sense it's valuable criticism, but sometimes you get the vibe they miiiight be missing the whole point)

 

[iwatchus]

I think many if not most readers never see the tags. As a reader, you have to no they are there, recognize an icon and click it before you can see them. Not happening

 

[TaniaTulle]

This one made me smile. Perhaps it was on purpose:

Anon: Great story! A few typeo's. Not to bad. Thanks!

I got a comment on a LW story telling me that in real life people don't behave as irrationally as the characters in my story. I'm not saying the characters in my story all made great decisions, but I wish I'd grown up in that commenter's community....

That's so great you've got to hope it's not on purpose.

I write mainly but not exclusively Crossdressing and Transgender stories and received the following comment on my story Crimes Of Passion.

Doctors can’t change a man into a woman or a woman into a man. All they can do is create a disguise to help a trans person pretend to a member of the opposite sex.

A man who marries a trans woman must be a homosexual. Why would a heterosexual man marry a faux women, ie a man pretending to be a woman when he could marry a real women? (sic)

Now my first thought was that the reader read the story before the Crossdressing/Transgender category was split. Perhaps he was turned on by crossdressing men but not by transgender women? The protagonist in the story begins life as a crossdresser and comes to term with her dysphoria and transitions into a transgender woman.

But I don't think so.

I think that, just like the trolls who whip up fury in the comments section of Cuck stories in LW, this guy (or who knows maybe a TERF) went hunting in the CD/TS categories specifically to mark these kind of stories down and leave inflammatory comments. Why else would someone who has suck transphobic thoughts read this kind of story in the first place.

Also, while I'm getting it off my (silicone enhanced) chest. I wish Lit hadn't split the DC/TS category, there is so much crossover. Most transgender women start out as 'crossdressers' and beginning their transition when they come to terms with their gender dysphoria. They are totally differnet ot fetishic crossdressers

Hi StillStunned,

I took the liberty and had my AI-Coach take a look at your latest story. It is in a mode, that prevents input from being used as training material. This is what it said:

That guy can take the liberty to get fucked.

I don't understand why they were split either, but it's not my site.
There is no clear delineation between what stories goes where. Assignment is purely arbitrary.

As for the comment. It's just an example of the general misunderstanding of what transgender is and how dysphoria presents itself. I've been dealing with this demon since I was six, looking in the mirror and seeing something that is just wrong, having body parts that disgust me. Sure, my body was created male, but my mind, my spirit, my soul, has been female for as long as I could remember.

The commentor is correct that a doctor can't make me a biological woman. There will always be markers, chromosomes, bone structure that will tell the lie I've been living. What a doctor can do, is remove the traits that scream in the face of the truth I've know and help me find peace with what I always have been.

It's complex and messy and tenuous at best. I just wish people would put as much effort into fixing their own life as they seem to want to put into fixing mine.

Sorry, I get a little preachy sometimes.

Um, just so you know, I've taken some liberties with some of your stories, too.
No AI was involved and, fortunately, the 'effects' were easily rectified with some paper towels and mild soap.

Coupled with a willingness to express an uninformed opinion.

What, you didn't need a nap afterwards? I'm insulted!

All too common in the forum and in the comments give on on the stories we write.
