Comments That Make Your Day

[Zenwick]

Got this comment on my story: Grace.

Kinda overwhelming but awesome to read:

"I was hesitant about your style at first. I’m glad I didn’t give up. This is some of the best use of language I’ve found on Literotica. Thank you for your talent."

My first ever LW story went live today as part of the Geek Pride event. Easily my lowest score of anything I have posted, by the comments have all been really nice, much to my shock.

"Original and beautifully written. If there is a such thing as a gentle yet devastating BTB, this is it." is my favorite.

My Geek Pride story, Cosplay Euphoria, is out and I've gotten some wonderful comments so far, but I think @Nynah 's is my favorite...

Gosh I'm probably dating myself but this hit so many nostalgic spots for me. I love A Goofy Movie so much (yes, Roxanne was one of my gay awakening crushes as well) and I'm a huge Star Wars nerd so the crossplay between Scout and Jeremy was both hilarious and endearing as well as being pretty damn steamy. They continue to be absolutely adorable; I love them more with every iteration. And can I just say that Rosa can also break me in half any time?

(If I can be allowed one teensy weesny Star Wars nerd-out; the pants that Han wears in ANH and ROTJ looked like they had just a long vertical stripe down the sides, but those were actually made up of several much smaller horizontal stripes. In the Legends canon they're known as Corellian Bloodstripes and Han actually wears two different versions: first-class stripes in ANH and second-class stripes in ROTJ. They only recently re-entered official canon in the game Star Wars Legends!)

If it wasn't already obvious, this is easily a 5 for me. This story was so much fun to read and I enjoyed all of the nerdy references. Adding the Powerline song at the end was a beautiful touch. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful piece and thanks to all the cool folks who contributed as well!

I was pretty sure that the "A Goofy Movie" reference and the excessive costuming detail was going to be much too silly for an erotica story, but Nynah's enthusiasm for both made it all worth it

A Goofy Movie has a surprisingly passionate fan base.

From Hall Past, my Geek Pride-infused take on the Hall Pass story:

From @Inkent (much appreciated)

Hall pass stories are probably the most difficult LW to pull together and not seeming "same old, same old." You nailed this one to perfection

From @EightyThousandEightyFive

Fantastic, and worth the wait. Geek paradise of so many flavors, and ‘Android Dungeon’ was like nerd Inception.

Oh, and not for nothing, cherry on top was that my first DnD character was a warlock named Kurwyn.

From @Crios

From my perspective, NO OTHER AUTHOR on Lit crafts stories so rich in emotion. The mind and soul of the MC here is on full display. Unlike some other authors' stories here, I'm never tempted to think, "Boy, I'd never have acted that way" after reading your tales. Thank you again for another expressive story!

I received these and a bunch more that made me much happier about a story that, if I'm honest, was too long and could have used an editing pass to trim at least 10% of it. But there was one in particular that reminded me, "Oh, yeah, this is why I do this," by @Cockatoo

As I've said many times before, scattered throughout my own writing, I was cheated on in my first marriage. It fucked me up, probably for the rest of my life. It was nine more years before I met my second wife, and seven more years beyond that when I pulled it together enough to marry her. So... do I have Issues? Yes, Truckloads. Writing at Literotica has been both therapy and crutch, through several different stages of my process.

This story has been a watershed for me. Thank you.

'Toxic Forgiveness' is a hot-button issue for me; so much so that I generated 100,000 words out of the raw anguish that "February Sucks" inspired, and even that was after twenty years of repression, avoidance, and pointless inner conflict. The idea that one MUST forgive a spouse, for your own good, whether or not you reconcile, just grates on my nerves and feels like I'm chewing aluminum foil. I did that, or tried to, or failed to, and finally refused to, and then stated the cycle over and over and over again. But I've never considered forgiving myself, the younger, love-addled fool who waltzed into the disaster and blinded himself to reality even at the early stages.

Do I owe that guy forgiveness?

I've since played out various inflection points of my personal history with alternative endings, things I "should have" said or done differently, and I've done this to the point of distraction. No, I'll be honest, I've done it to the point of obsession. But I've done it all with hindsight.

I still want to slap that kid. I'm still mad at him. I have sympathy, because I WAS that kid, but that doesn't abate the anger I've had at myself for putting up with and facilitating the abuse I suffered. But... forgiveness? For him, not for that toxic woman... well, it's something to consider. Perhaps it can happen in time.

I mean... what do you say to that except thank you?

Okay, one more that truly made me feel seen by all our favorites, Anonymous:

It was a lifeless parade of melodrama by a self-important bore. Seldom will you find a a writer who imagines they are an expert in all subjects and the smartest person in every room. NoTalentHack seems to be that person, despite the evidence that he is, in fact, a no talent hack. This cliche has been written a hundred times, and 99 of them were better.

Damn! You get me, man.

That last one cracks me up. Amazing how bold they are from behind that curtain.
This story, by the way, kept me pissed off all day. I wanted to put it down and storm away a hundred times or more, but on behalf of the main character. I felt his pain way too deeply for a fictional character. She'd better spend the rest of this life and half the next making this up to him!

Which is me, buying into your story 100%...
Again.
Thanks for sharing your talent!

 

[MillieDynamite]

Got these very nice comments the other day.
This one, Vengeance Is Its Own Reward
This one on, Vengeance Is Mine

No, the thanks are from us the readers, and people like me that aspire to write quality work that you seem to spit out with ease

Oh, man. This one almost killed me. It went in and out of my WIP folder for most of a year, changeD direction multiple times, saw significant rewrites, and STILL ended up bloated by probably 10%. Until my beta reader got ahold of it, I had no idea if it was actually good or I was just so sick of reading it yet again that I needed to get rid of it. If I made it look easy, that’s the best magic trick I’ve ever pulled. People who said a satisfying, semi-decently scoring hall pass story is the hardest thing to pull off in LW are 100% right.

 

[HelenL]

Given that I'm a living incarnation of imposter syndrome, no, I definitely did not realize that. But I'll take your word for it.

Oh, but it's absolutely true! I was thrilled when I saw that you'd commented on "Spa Day"!

 

[HelenL]

(Now that I've been alerted to this thread...) Another recent comment that I really enjoyed receiving was from @toesucker1 on Spa Day. She rewrote my opening paragraph of the story as a tribute to my stories overall and I think captured the exact "cozy" vibe I try to aim for.

Another nice comment on a 750 story: April Fool - No Longer

"Full Marks for this very short and Precise story! 5 Stars! Loved it. Short sweet and to the point. No dilly dallying!"

 

[gordo12]

Another nice comment on Hidden Boss:

"Maybe (but just maybe) this is Not the Most realitic Story - but it was a lot of fun to read it!

Thank you for writing & Sharing it!"

 

[Comshaw]

Our constant buddy Anonymous sometimes is a right good fella. Here's a comment I received on my story Dumb Blonde Neighbor

I have been traveling through Literoticaland fairly consistently for several years. While a dedicated heterosexual elderly man I don't limit myself as to genre. I delve into most all genres over time looking for a well written, creative story that might tap into feelings beyond an erection. But an erection is primary, of course.
Comshaw, out of all the thousands of stories I have consumed over the years on this site and several similar sites, NEVER have I been left with an epiphany/great appreciation for the level of surprise/shock at this oh so creative and oh so rare plot twist!

At the risk of saying more and posting an even longerrr run-on sentence, I will instead close. Now I am 2 down and 52 to go as I read all of your stories on Literotica. Great story here, amazingly creative plot twist. Thank you!

Comshaw

Just got this to one of my "hot wife" stories, published in Loving Wives:

Wow, that is a great story. I wish my wife had been like her.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

Someone read Bad Brat Girl and left a succinct comment on every chapter. The result is pleadingly haiku-like;

1. Someone is nervous.
2. Cat is one cool cucumber.
3. Busy night.
4. The eyes have it.
5. A Hollywood ending.

A nice summary, though I'm not sure if that 'hands over eyes' emoticon is good or bad.

They went on to fave Accredited Sadist with the comment 'Novela like.', so I guess it's meant to be complimentary?

These comments could actually form the solution to a murder mystery... our intrepid heroes decode where the body is buried after working out they have to follow the breadcrumbs from a particular Anon on Lit.

A commenter on LW decided he had to BTB literally, but couldn't resist leaving cryptic clues to show how clever he is?

Go for it. I look forward to reading it in September's Crime & Punishment event!

I don't think this guy is murderous though. His comment on My Dom, In Boots was 'Different. (That's a compliment!)'

Yes, definitely needs a LW lens - your guy is one of the red herring suspects. The real culprit doesn't do compliments.

Nerd's Plaything gets:


"There is something intriguing about your writing, almost mesmerizing. The idea of a sexy aggressive woman in 5 inch heels {irrelevant blather} Love how you tease, can't get enough of it."


"Amusing, fun and even romantic. Loved it."

A nice comment today on Wheelchair Girl:

"I would have been happy to give this story the 5 stars it deserves. I already follow gordo12 so can't add the author again. This fine story was entertaining, very interesting and engaging. Thank you gordo12 for sharing your wonderful work product / effort here!"

[Arcadia]

Life is hard, writing is hard, and I've found as I've started doing this that sharing your writing is even harder. I know what I write isn't going to resonate with a lot of people, but it's tough sometimes to see that in practice. Then I got a comment like this one on The Captain, a story that I was particularly proud of but hasn't done that well. Thanks Anon. Makes it seem like there really is someone else at the other end of screaming into the void

Another nice comment today on Sir Peter Renton:

"silly, funny. glad Noah was in the background"
