Comments That Make Your Day

[Actingup]

I hesitantly submitted A Crack In The Glass to the Pink Orchid event last year, feeling double imposter syndrome as it's set in Japan and female first person, and I am neither Japanese nor female. But it was kindly received, and I'm still proud of it. Anyway, just had this comment in. Let's put aside the question of how valid it is for a male reader to tell a male author that they did a good job of female POV: it's still an interesting and sweet comment about the first person narration, even though I don't think it's that special.

A lovely story, written with perceptiveness and skill. It's one of the few stories I've seen on Literotica that makes good use of first-person narration's potential, presenting vividly the complex inner world of the fictional narrator. Indeed, I'd say the "main character" of the story is not Helena-the-character (the young Australian woman sent off to Japan) but Helena-the-narrative voice. If the author indeed is a man, as the bio. states, then I'm even more impressed. The narrator's consciousness is plausibly female ... and very few male writers have succeeded in pulling off THAT difficult trick.

How lovely is this feedback message?

Thanks for all the amazing stories you’ve written over the years — your depth, subtlety and imagination really shine.

I also appreciate your curated story lists; they’re invaluable for exploring the best lesbian tales on the site. I even had my own “suggested‑by‑characters” list at one time (e.g., Priya’s picks for Samantha in 'Love Is a Place'). Your categorized lists are way more comprehensive and clearly benefit from your storytelling chops.

Quick suggestion for your 'Super Supernatural Sapphism' bucket: Macallan Promises (https://www.literotica.com/s/macallan-promises). It’s an angsty story with a dramatic supernatural climax. Just a heads‑up, the main characters are siblings, so it might not be your usual vibe.

I’m grateful not only for your talent as a writer but also for the help you’ve given as a reviewer, commenter, critic, and beta‑reader.

It's like they see all of me! (Or, at least, all-of-the-THBGato persona.)

I'll be walking taller today.

That story is one of the rare few to have a H a W and a Green E. Paco Fear didn't have a lot of stories here but has some epic hits and that one does make you feel the pain of unrequited-and forbidden-love.

PF was also a great guy who took the time to respond to a new author who had no clue what he was doing and gave him some great advice.

That author may or may not have been me. But probably was.

This comment doesn't seem like a big deal, but considering the story only has seven comments and three of them say "I don't usually read this but enjoyed it" is a good compliment, shows a couple of my long-time followers chose to follow me somewhere they don't generally go.

Considering this is my first foray into BDSM in over ten years here I need any comment I can get. This is also my Pink Orchid entry so I'm glad some people are enjoying it.

BDSM is not really my thing, but this story was riveting. I thoroughly enjoyed it! 5/5

Not generally my kind of story. But, I enjoyed the tension and the pay back. Thank you.

Wow awesome! I rarely ever read BDSM stories, but I’ve read a lot of your stories and enjoyed them, so gave this a go, and glad I did, thank you for an enjoyable read. ️️️️️

Two comments this morning. One good; one middling.

Fido
"A good, fun romp! Thanks."

Sir Peter Renton
"Kinda disappointed in how easily both of them abandoned their marriage.
Especially how they had decided things in their lives were at the point of trying to have a kid. it was well-written however."

I must admit Renton was an extremely difficult story to write. I got to a certain point, and all I saw
was the usual ending, so many stories in LW suffer from. When I realized I was at an impasse,
I did the natural thing and ended the story by jumping forward a bit to the results.
Not the best work I've ever done. But thank you for the "WELL WRITTEN" comment.
I appreciate that.

So, an hour’s reading later…. Yes, that story is totally superb. I wish the green Es were still being awarded for stories, so that gems like this published in modern times could be highlighted without worrying about trolling and scores.

Here's one I received this morning that knocked me out of my chair:

I have read all this series, thanks, love it such a journey!

Nice, feel-good sentiment, and I certainly wish to express my thanks to the poster for taking the time and effort to express their appreciation. But here's the kicker – the full series is 48 chapters and 600,000+ words. Now that's a dedicated fan. I'm verklempt.

verklempt

TIL English actually borrowed some genuinely useful words from German, not just synonyms to “bless you!” and “forbidden”.

'Verklempt' is kind of interesting. Some people here will be able to explain everything much better, but this source seems to suggest that as a Yiddish loanword more associated with powerful negative emotion, its roots go back through German to... Old English!

 

[TheLobster]

Old English!

Seems to me that the Old English clam eventually meandered enough to morph into “clam up,” which is of similar but somewhat different meaning. Possibly related to pearl clams but perhaps not to, uh, you know, those other kinds of clams we’re often writing about here…

Up there with the best comments I've ever received... On Serendipity


With the way current events have been, I've been re-reading some happier stories. Of course that means lots of ShelbyDawn57
Grrrreat storytelling AND happy endings? What's not to like, right?

These came in on different stories recently.

I got two comments on Snow Fall In Love last night, which is over three months old at this point. Ironically, I just posted it on another site on Sunday.

The first (by @butter4644) made my day, especially after being abused by trolls too much for the last two weeks.

I'm delighted to have just found your talented, skilled, thoroughly enjoyable writing. After reading this 5-star story, I have also gladly joined your circle of Followers.

This was splendid writing. Your super character intro/development, and fantastic dialogue (internal as well as spoken) so deepened this erotic romantic tale, and sexually set it ablaze. The pacing/build was tantalizingly good; had us pulling for them to be together...in every imaginable way. ;-) And, the sex scenes--wow! A hard to write, combo of tender, evolving, romantic, sensual emotional tension, and flaming hot sex we could almost feel, taste, even smell. Well done, indeed. Looking forward to more.

Lest I feel too good, the second (anonymous) comment was

Sigh, I tried for the second time to read this... It is rated so well I thought I would give it a second try. About halfway through the first page I remembered why I quit reading it the first time... I just can't stand either character. Sorry, I just can't continue!

Having a real problem with the two main characters is unfortunately a common complaint. Oh well. I like them. And if you don't like the two main characters, it's pretty tough, given the third most lines in the story belong to Bilbo, a golden retriever. At least no one has complained about not linking Bilbo. But if you don't like a golden retriever, I don't think I care about what you think anyway.

Three nice comments from Yesterday (17th)

April Fool - No Longer

A fantastic story. Thank you.

April Fools - Gotcha (One of my personal favourites)

A fantastic story. Thank you. (Obviously, the commenter is very economical with their comments, using the same one twice)

Irredeemable

Obviously, a very slow learner. He must have enjoyed Hell.

Very few things make me happier than having someone laugh/chuckle/giggle/guffaw/etc. at something I wrote.

Glad to help ruin your wife's normal-book reading experience, @ADirtyPerv

LMAO at the sheep reveal. And then my wife got mad at me for giggling the word "Oopsi" when she's trying to read a normal-people book. Well done.
