Comments That Make Your Day

Places like Earl’s haven’t heard of the internet yet.
As for the maple syrup, he gets it from his second cousin (also his brother-in-law), a profoundly woke socialist with 37 guns, who lives in northern Vermont.
Long as Earl and his cousin don't talk politics, they get along fine, for Earl’s sister Cindy-Lou’s sake. She, ahem, loves them both...

Anon on "It Just Ain't Going To Happen" (co-written with @PennyThompson)

Everyone knows the best maple syrup comes from Earl’s Bait ’n’ Grub in Possum Trot, Mississippi. Locals just call it “Earl’s,” tourists struggle with the apostrophes.
Otherwise, a heartwarming story

However, Google tells me that there is no such business or place... I assume that's true! Good maple syrup from Mississippi also seems unlikely???

Proper maple syrup comes from Vermont. I'm sorry. There's no other acceptable choice. I wouldn't expect sugar maples to survive in the climate in Mississippi? Must be they repackage the good stuff from up here.

I don't believe that any Canadian would want, let alone be allowed, to have more than six different guns!

Received this overnight on my first story here, Reflections of Desire

Not a comment, but I have noticed one reader attach many of my stories to their favorite list. They average 2-3 stories per day and when I check, most are truly on their fav list and not just the reading list.

It is nice to know that my stories and style are appreciated enough that they are going through my entire (70+) catalogue.

My first poem in a loooooong time. I was in a bit of a mood when I wrote it. https://www.literotica.com/p/cliquey

An absolutely brutal bit of honesty at a time when we could all use a reminder to be a bit more open and welcoming. That last line slays. Well done!

@GrrrreatImagination has been making their way through my stories and left this on on Flyer today...

Sometimes as life is spinning by and just for a moment everything seems to pause, like a freeze-frame of reality, before life spins on again.
When s/he sat down at the vanity trying not to cry & said, “I think I need to go.”
When she came downstairs dressed for Zed & her mom gasped, covered her mouth, braced herself on a chair and cried out “Donald!”
Such powerful intensity of emotion, conveyed in only a few words.
Verrrry good storytelling.

As a lesbian writer, getting a favourable comment from the legend that is CareyThomas is pretty much the best Christmas present I could get on Lit.

A Masterful Work of Duality, Desire, and Denial
Tainted Love is elevated erotica. It's a character study as much as it is a dark romance. Kaylen, the protagonist has not only a storied past, but a tragic history that is developed organically, and has helped shape her worldview and form her life. Which is based around the duality of pain and pleasure, denial and acceptance. This work's themes are integrated effortlessly into the characters themselves and their trajectories. While not a long work, every arc is captivating, and Wes himself may be the most compelling character in the story. Wes himself, possess duality, opposing feelings for Kaylen that are dominant, yes, but runs so much deeper. As all relationships truly do, as well as the themes of this work. Gorgeous prose with tonally appropriate word choice, and a carefully considered aesthetic tone elevates this work even further. 5/5.

Interestingly enough, I just received an effusive comment, from an anonymous reader on my story "with iron teeth". It's easily the best comment I've ever received, which is a nice and pleasant surprise this evening (especially considering that the story is non-erotic):

This was so good!! It’s been so long since I’ve read a full story on the site. I was intrigued by the fairy tale theme even though I’m usually into non-fantasy erotica. I was very much not disappointed. Perfectly short, complete, and well-written. Great job!

I don't know, I think that IS a comment on your stories!

Many congratulations.

It’s not so much the (kind) comments, it’s who made the comments- thank you @Eosphorus and @Jalibar62 for taking the time to read ‘A Game of Snooker’, one of my first stories. It means so much when other authors do this unsolicited.
(Yes Eosphorus, I believe that to ‘snooker someone’ means the same in US and British / Australian English)

Eosphorus
Well done. Great premise, nice pacing, and a perfect set-up for the big twist. Catherine’s move to get rid of both Joe and Bruno at once was brilliant and, I’d argue, ethically justifiable as self-defense. Also, she perfectly insulated herself from all suspicion. Even if a prosecutor suspected her, they’ve got zero proof. Her phone call (which she knew he wouldn’t receive) to Joe would safeguard her.

So many other nice touches. I loved the brief primer on snooker (and, if the verb snooker means the same thing in Australian English as it does in American English, nice pun in the title) which I’ve heard of but knew nothing about. I also enjoyed the scene where he sketches her nude. That built sexual tension and intimacy skillfully.

Jalibar62
Very cleverly played by Catherine. And eve though Matthew was happy to let her take the lead, he was no coward!

Enjoyed this quite a bit. Sorry it’s taken me so long to find your work!

I received this comment on my newest story and it really made me smile!

Started this and had a day planned. You wrecked my plans it was that good. Thanks

 

[BeechLeaf]

Oh yes, that is lovely.

Someone told me last night that my turns of phrase made him hard, my quick wit made him leak and my shamelessness made him cum.

If you ask me, we need more people like that in the world. Namely, people who compliment me and dedicate their orgasm to me.

I yield my time.

Congratulations on this, Bryan. I don't think that I could attempt the challenge at this point - there are some categories that I just wouldn't know how to approach yet, although I suppose that's a common problem.

Well, you don’t have to do every category. I’m not planning to do it again for 2026.

I agree that there are a couple of categories that a hard to write in. It is worth it to try for everything else, though. Stretch into what you can and see what you come up with.

Got this on my latest, Lost and Found, from @Chr0nicBi0hazard:

I love your work, always have since I found you on here. This one was just beautiful. I was in tears by the ending. Yes, the sexy scenes are hot, but I've come to realize that's not entirely why I read your work. The hopefulness, the joy in change, the feeling of being loved for who one is; these are the themes that resonate with me.
I look forward to that flavor of joy, and that feeling as I continue with my own transition.
Keep up the good work, and I'll keep reading!

It's so nice to know someone gets what and why I write.

Not a comment but an indirect feather in my cap: an individual who has been a member of this site for two years favorited my story Last Few Days of Summer and it is only the second one they have on their favorite list…though the truth is, it’s probably only the second one they have read in that time.

 

[ShelbyDawn57]

No a comment as such, but the first story I posted here on 3/2/19 just got a favorite.

@PennyThompson and I are continuing to get some lovely and/or interesting comments on our joint story (linked below) (and it will soon become my most read story, which is really nice). Although some of them continue the Loving Wives archetype, many of them illustrate the way that readers can engage and respond differently to a story, including these recent two, from Anon and 'our' own @THBGato. Note how the comments have absolutely no overlap to them apart from mentioning the character Izzy (the daughter of the MCs):

Anon:
Fantastic story, recommended reading. Pregnancy, abortion and miscarriages can be very difficult. But a perfect storm of circumstances can make a difficult situation worse. I wouldn't give up on my wife over it. Both parents handled it wrong, and I'm glad they didn't cheat after separation and were able to get over it. Four years of imploding marriage is too much punishment for both of them. Very impressed with Izzy as a plot. Excellent storytelling.

THBG:
Great story! If this is a metaphor for how to heal the rifts caused by America's political divide, then the cure is clear: 90's playlists! I'm all in favour. I do really feel for Izzy though. She's clearly been through a lot and then having to go to Reading festival? Reading! It's the Jerry Springer of British music festivals - the poor girl must be traumatised. She'll be trying to understand Hegel at this rate. Shame on you authors! Has she not suffered enough?

Life's been in the way of my writing for the past couple of months so new work is slow and much delayed. However, I've received several comments on some of my newer works over the past few days including this gem from MCRider2525 on Tanya's Tutor and the Romini Ring, my 2025 Halloween Contest entry about a jeweler who helps a young Roma woman and her family as Halloween approaches:

WOW!!!! Im not even sure what just happened, but I'm exhausted!!!!!! That was AWESOME!!!! What an amazing story! I can't imagine how you came up with that, and then how you weaved all those different details together...... that was a crazy, sexy, fun, suspenseful ride! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!
