Comments That Make Your Day

[TheWritingGroup]

I'm not sure if this counts as making my day, making me shake me head, or just leaving me feeling uncomfortable.

This came in an e-mail feedback this morning, unclear what story is being discussed.



At least they said please.

Your signature fits this message very well.

Happily surprised when someone says they’ve read a story multiple times …

shadracht commented on my “Intervention Wife” story:
“reread for the Nth time. It's silly, and a little stupid, but damn if it's isn't fun, and happy, and lovely (and sexy). One of my favorites.”

Thank you, shad. Fun, happy and a bit stupid is an excellent description.

"That was a 30 minute walk on an erotic tightrope. Delicious tension plus moral dilemmas plus beautiful women. Just superbly done, my dear. I think the ability to ratchet up your reader’s thermostat without an explicit sex scene makes you a true eroticist."

After 10+ years on/off on Literotica, I still doubt my ability to write the kind of stories that I first started with - short, single scene, tension building, and without any real physical contact, or with little physical contact. I picked this weird lane a long time ago and, even though I write more explicit stories nowadays, it's comforting to know that the original formula still works and that I still got "it"

Another nice comment on Hidden Boss:

Good story. I was a little put off by the first interaction between Caroline & Chris, but that worked out.

As far as the 'glass ceiling' in the bedroom, That's very cool at night when it's dark, but when the sun comes up early in the morning, it's annoying. (I stayed in a hotel with skylights once, and didn't like the early morning light. I prefer a dark bedroom.) Just sayin'.

Just in on ‘A Twist In The Plot - the sequel’, written in 2024. As I just mentioned in another thread, the story combines theatrics, comedy, group sex and the recovery from domestic violence, so it was a bit edgy and difficult to write.

What a wonderful breath of fresh air! I really had no idea when I started this story where it might lead. It was sexy, enlightening and very different. Thank you for the terrific tale. I haven't yet looked for other entries from this author, but I certainly will be soon. Keep up the good work!

"That is hot. I could almost smell the crotch of those nylons myself just from your description."

On my latest story. Definitely made my day.

it still kinda amazes me that the third story I ever wrote here, something I wrote when I was a raw newb, is still one of my most popular stories and still draws reviews like this.

Gorgeously natural and truly erotic! I love your writing. Thank you.

I get comments like, “So well-written,” on my early stuff, and I’m like, “No it’s not!”

seyasoma left the following gem on Shannon's Offer, in which Chris battles to overcome leaves, the HOA, and his wife's inhibition.

“ROTFLMAO!! What at a story! Your sense of humor is unmatched on this site! Since I live in the Deep South, my miniature dachsunds complain you left out St Augustine! Your intricate details of Bermuda, Zoysia and HOAs left many tears in my eyes! I loved that this is mature love with LIFE behind them! Thank You for a 9 out of 5!”

Nice comment on an old story:

THE GUNFIGHTER

"The fly incident is first rate and made Jake real and human"

 

[AStrangeDesire]

I got this in email today for Training with Emily
"Absolutely loved the story. Emily sounded like so much fun with an electric personality. Would enjoy a follow up to see what the future holds. Liked how you wrote from both perspectives."

This comment (same story) made me smile too

Motorbikes, feet and incest. My new fav Venn diagram.

My only comment today, and I think it's a good thing:

An octave higher than what usually passes for good around here.

I woke up to a really wonderful comment from @LadyLovelace on Accessibility Compliance

Oh, this is delightful. Easily the most fun I’ve had reading a story here. The story doesn’t drag, the framing is fun and informative. Scout is exactly my favorite kind of weird. I am looking forward to the rest of Scout’s adventures.

This more than makes up for the shitty Autism bashing I got in my last comment

Once You Go Anthro Ch. 06: Slyss/Vim
From @Ommichron

You have an amazing imagination and put it to incredible use in your stories! I love this series and the Quest idea, but only four more?
Thank you so much for sharing!
❤❤❤

My newest longish free verse The Orchestra was my attempt to connect my love of music to my love of free verse. So far I've gotten lovely comments

Comment posted on the second part of The Adventures of Ranger Ramona, presumably regarding both chapters.

It's a good day when someone gives you bonus points just for a character's name.



For those who are not familiar with it, a pine marten is a small, arboreal weasel, found in coniferous forests in Canada and the northernmost US. The character, Clarence "Piney" Martin is a veteran Maine forest ranger. Think Sam Elliot.

Pine martens are friggin' adorable I got one in my Big Book of Anthros.

I also put a lot of thought into names (probably way more than I should) and it's always nice when someone brings it up. Always happy to see other people using punny or clever names.

Got these while having a rough day at work this morning.

Got this for 'Change Management', which had a mixed reception over in Erotic Horror, including one reader claiming that it didn't fit the category. The main story involves a senior manager seducing and then cannibalising middle management, although it's possible that some readers missed what was actually going on. I'd been quite proud of the research behind the story, including going to a few change management courses myself and also looking up the original Italian text of Machiavelli's The Prince to do a bespoke translation of a critical phrase*. Very grateful to have veteran author @BenLong springing to my defence and reflecting on his lived experience: thank you, Ben. I'm going to put you forward to senior management for special attention.

So many corporations have “top down” directions while those most capable of supplying the solution are the one closest to the problem… but never get asked or their offerings are squelched.”

*"Men must either be fondled or extinguished."

Ben is a great comment giver. Sometimes they go a little off the wall, but he reads and digests a story in full. A great author and a great reader. A rare but not unheard of combination.
