Comments That Make Your Day

[Blind_Justice]

Great story. I love your take on horny goblins. You need to write more of them. And Eric Devereux is one of the most compelling characters I've read in awhile. Why did you lavish so much depth on him rather than some of the other characters? I hope we see him again.

On my latest, "Rotten To The Core". A comment from one of my favourite authors of recent times.

With pretty much every commenter asking for a sequel, the likelyhood of Eric making a return is pretty high. With all the effort I put into every single one of my heroes and villains, I prefer not to kill them.

An erotic story on an erotic story site. Who knew!

 

[gordo12]

I just had to share this one. What a nice comment. Guys aren't known for...

"(8/28/2021)
This was perfect,...well, sorta. Did Kurt really deserve redemption? Still, you made me cry. This was one of the best stories I've read on this site; with a lawyer as the hero, and no sex in it either, go figure. 5 stars!"

Well, yes. It was a Christmas story, and EVERYONE deserved redemption. I guess I should have included kleenex.

I find it surprising that readers will read and favorite Christmas stories year round. I had two separate such stories favorited overnight by different account names.

Christmas spirit seems to reside with some people year-round. In July, you could snoop in an upstairs bedroom at my mom's place and the closet would be stuffed with presents already. I mean, who needs 6 Keurig machines in new boxes...?

It was her favourite time of year. The presents, the dinners, family getting together. She loved it.

When I started this thread I'd hoped it would take on a life of its own. I was hoping for a more positive focus on our stories rather than the constant barrage of "The Horrors of Loving Wives" and "Have You Seen This Terrible Comment?"

The "If It Bleeds, It leads," is alive and well here.

There are a lot of authors and stories posted every day. It's tough enough to write publicly without seeing other authors (boasting?) about being trashed. I know I've done it.

It kind of reminds me of the old-time explorer maps. "Here be Dragons," they say and who's going to sail in that direction? It has to be discouraging to new authors and even experienced ones.

I'm going to keep posting every time I get a nice comment and I hope more of you will join me!

I have come to realize that many people are only happy when they are talking about what pisses them off.

In the original spirit of the thread, I recently got a comment on The Adventures of Ranger Ramona that read, simply, "Now that is a work of art."

Ramona was a great story. I really enjoyed it. It took me back to my childhood surrounded by miles of bush to play in every day. Even today, walking through a forest gives me a sense of peace that can't be beaten.

Here's more that I should have posted in the last couple of weeks.

Just one of the best 750 word gems around!

This ↑ is a universal truth. Some people can not be happy unless they are bitching about something. My dad would always say, "They'd bitch if you hug 'em with a new rope".

Along with that are those who aren't happy unless they are dominating and denigrating others. Personally, I don't have much tolerance for such crap. Over the years I've taken some pretty big hits in my professional career because I don't put up with it. One of my all-time favorite movie quotes says it all:

Captain Woodrow F. Call "I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it."


As far as comments, I got this e-mail from an anon reader:

"Your stories make me feel good, on many levels. I'm so very happy to have chanced upon them. Thank you for writing them. Sending good vibes."


I don't get 'em often but it's nice when it's a silky little stroke like that. Makes all the other nitpicking ass biting comments pale to insignificance.

These were left on my first story here "Missed Connections: New Orleans", needless to say, I was both honored and anxious as a result, lol. I've submitted a couple more stories since (and a poem that a few people seem to like for some reason?), but one I'm asking to have taken down because I think I jumped the gun and I want to change some stuff in it to make it better. The other, I give zero shit about as it was just a mind purge.

So sweet

I truly enjoyed reading your story!

I just happened to choose this story for my reading enjoyment, being a bit of a sucker for romances (imagine that!). It was well worth the time I invested in reading. I was quite taken with the tension it generated between the two on the train, and the interaction was quite believable, well handled and I REALLY enjoyed the feminine viewpoint. My take was not a "stroke" story, it was a HOT story with rampant sexual tension! I could even see some of the pictures in my mind's eye (I'm not that far over the hill!!), so your descriptions were excellent. I felt like I ended up with a warm, gratifying true romance story with a storybook ending. It made me feel good and that's what it's all about. Please keep up the good work. I was surprised to find that this was your first story on Literotica and I certainly hope it won't be your last. Definitely 5 stars!

This one was the kind of flattering that made a knot in my stomach and made me question if their comment on my story was a misclick meant for someone else's, lol.

Great story

I only read the romance category, and I most often skip or skim through the sex scenes, but I read this one all the way through as it was so well done. Thank you.

I love it when people who normally skip bits read the whole thing

Thos are awesome comments.

 

[SimonDoom]

This is getting rather explicit but this was one of my favorite story comments:


"Bravo! You had me cumming the moment his finger went over her panties. "

It was nice to know that my words could arouse someone long before the actual sex happened. That was one of my earlier stories and that comment helped me appreciate how important a good buildup is --that a sexy, erotic buildup is as important as, and sometimes more important than, the sex scene.

 

[RejectReality]

On "Old Man Winter":

Nice little story, well told as usual. If you don't know a lot about wood working you sure fooled me.

Well, I fooled 'em. Everything I know comes from the YouTube rabbit hole. LOL

On "Nude Holly Day" ( as private feedback ):

1. The story, Nude-Holly-Day, by Reject Reality was one of the most enjoyable, intense, well crafted, and even instructive stories I've ever encountered. While the biology-based eroticism is excellent in most of your stories, this one (Holly) was far beyond that. The Holly story was to regular good stories as color is to black-and-white because of the added layers in the story.
a. Honor and decency. The protagonist portrayed the best characteristics of respect and appreciation for the Holly character.
b. The caring he showed Holly added depth to the story far beyond the delightful eroticism.
c. The honor and care showed for the Holly character by the protagonist put this story into the top level of literature.
d. The details of the physical love-making functioned almost as a lesson for top-level love-making. Society would profit from this sort of story being made to be required reading for all high-schoolers.

Needless to say, I was tickled by the response. It's also a perfect example of why this story really should have been assigned to Les. It was far too deep for an RR story. LOL

I received this little gem from Anonymous:

"You write like Gilbert Gottfried sings."​

It's so heartwarming to be compared to the comedic semi-greats.

I recently posted a final chapter on a six-part story, where my first score within minutes of it being posted was a solitary 2. He/she read almost 20,000 words in part 6 and gave it a 2.
On the same story, in part 5, they left an anon comment that they had to give it a 1, because 0 wasn't available. And their comment said something like I may be the worst writer here on Literotica. They read four previous chapters and felt compelled to read chapter 5?
After 17 years, I just roll with the punches.
Oh, I almost forgot, they're not all terrible. On my last story posted 8/19, a reader left me a two-word comment-- Very boring - -

do you have any positives that "made your day"?

[gordo12]

Yes, these made me laugh out loud. Haven't you ever laughed at a vicious comic? It's a reminder not to take myself too seriously.

We're going with "nice" comments here. There are enough threads about ugly comments already, even if they amuse you.

You must have some.

 

[Omenainen]

I get almost exclusively nice comments. I write doom and gloom and angst, and it seems to evoke an encouraging emotional response in readers. I'm not going to post all of them here, but I want to contribute, so I choose this from my latest story:

One thing I particulary liked about this is just how ordinary both of our heroes are. They aren't models. They are neither of them apparently drop dead gorgeous. That makes the celebration of love that is this story so especially human and perfect for me. Thank you for this.

Having read a few of yours, I think that comment is a good summary of one of your strengths.

Likewise - although I may not have as much angst as you, more ennui.

I too am moved by comments thanking me for sharing something affirmative - as if it's a rare thing. Even when it's completely fictional, which is the bit where I think, I'm doing something right here.

One of my favourite comments, though, is quite straightforward and down to earth:

Oh My!
by Garryguitar on 03/13/2015
Original, fabulous and VERY effective. My response is considerable!

 

[LilyWaters]

Only one story posted so far (and a pending story in the chute!)

My favourite comment was much longer than this, but this was a great start:

Hot damn, girl, you can write.

And I don't know if this person was referring to me or to the narrator, but this one made me laugh :

My current Summer Lovin' entry is set in Paris, with plenty of landmarks noted (both well-known and a few more off the tourist track.) I fully appreciate that my Anonymous commenter's was in the right place, even if their language wasn't quite as spot on:

Enjoyed it, credible plot with Parishioners detail. Would like to see a sequel...

Although, at the end of the story my female MC was on her knees and stated that she was "praying to survive what her lover was about to do to her" from his position behind her... . So maybe the comment was nicely accurate as delivered.

P.S. And, as discussed in another thread, Metro (subway) lines with rubber tires (tyres) gets a mention . The level of detail noted might not meet with everyone's approval.

I received an email the other day from a reader who wanted to tell me how much they enjoyed my Mary and Alvin series, and asked several questions about the series and a few other things I've written.

I wrote back thanking them, and answering their questions. In reply yesterday I got a long email telling me everything they liked about Mary and Alvin. If I shared it here, it would spoil just about every major plot point.

I was very flattered by their enthusiasm for what I had created, but there was one thing in particular that made my day.

In 36 chapters of the series, over three years of writing, there was only one scene that I truly had trepidation about including. I wrote and rewrote that scene, and never felt it was just right. I knew that it would be upsetting to many readers, and I wasn't sure that I was conveying what I intended in a way they would not reject. It lacked...something.

Nonetheless, I included the scene. When I was doing about the fifth read through of that last chapter, just before I submitted, I stopped on that scene, and added one line. It was, (excepting the stand alone I did for the Covid event) literally the last words I wrote in the series.

In their letter, on a long list of their favorite things about the series, the reader only specified one particular line that really touched them.

It was that last line.

Yeah, that made my day. It may have made my month.

 

[ElectricBlue]

It was that last line.

That's magical! It's so very nice when a reader can see where your heart was, to see in their head what you saw.
