Comments That Make Your Day

The Good and The Ugly

We had a bunch of very lovely comments on our first collaboration (Grumpy Old Ladies), but this was my favorite:



On the fun side, there was this anonymous gem of an opposite opinion:

Sounds like a comment about my novel 'WicKed Metamorphosis.' Anonymous wrote, “Long and ... stupid! Quantity and skill with putting words together do not justify reading a 21 page story about dribble.” A counter comment to that critique said it was wonderful and I shouldn’t change a thing.

Glad to see you brushed it off!

This comment literally had me in tears this morning. It needs some context, so this post contains spoilers for Mary and Alvin, Chapter 20.















In that chapter, Mary suffers a miscarriage. That night, in bed, Alvin holds her and softly sings Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds"

~Don't worry about a thing, 'cause every little thing's gonna be all right~~

The comment:

You absolutely took me out with Three Little birds. I used to sing that with my grandfather and I sang it to myself after my own miscartiage

Just got this one on part 10 of The Jenna Arrangement:

"WOW! Just discovered this series tonight and have now just finished reading all 10 episodes. The decisions you made along the way were perfect. I am enjoying this slow ride and hope it continues on for awhile. No rush from me. I would rather read a good, well written story than one that was rushed."

Somebody went and read all ten chapters in one sitting. That's a feel good moment lol

Feast or Famine. It seems like the comments come in waves. Nothing for a week and then 5 today.

Homeless:

"Well done, a sweet one. So happy I found it. 5*"

Fido:

"This was funny and well written well done"

April Fool No Longer:

"Excellent!
Great short story."

Gotcha:

"Great story."

Hidden Boss:

"So great! But now I am more interested in the glass roof master bedroom house! 5*"

I got a comment overnight on one of my older stories, and read a few of the earlier comments, including this from Anonymous, who was disagreeing with my pen name:

I beg to differ. There is this old prayer "lord, make me smart, prudent, and wise" - a writer perhaps may ask "lord, make me smart enough to write a good story, prudent enough not to write more than what needs to be said, and wise enough to discern between both". This story shows the writer's lord to have made you smart, prudent and wise!

 

[rescatooor]

I received this one, and another one like it on another story that was yet to have any comments, last night. It made me a very happy hippo.

5/5 New favorite author. Can't wait to read the rest of your stories.

Thank you, djmac1031 <3

You're very welcome. I appreciate your kind comment on my Karen story as well.

No comments, yet, but been slowly watching a reader work through and add all 11 chapters of my Jenna series to his Favorites.

Thats a good feeling.

 

[Zootonius]

The last chapter of my first story. got this:

"Excellent job ! You must have found an editor. So hot. I came twice reading"

Other than pointing out (rightly) my poor proofreading on part one, it's a nice ego boost for something that is just a creative outlet.

 

[gordo12]

Two new comments this afternoon:

April Fool No Longer

Great, and a 5* effort, for sure!

Cheatify The Bitch

Loved the payback AND the result. Wished it was a lot longer, though. Great 5* story

 

[gordo12]

Another comment this afternoon:

April Fool No Longer

Would vote 5* but voting seems to be turned off.

Yeah, turned the voting off cause it was getting trolled and the score driven down.

Motivational Quote

This anonymous quote comes from my noir syle story Life is Marked in Milestones. I had begun to feel the theme and extreme plot ending were too bone chilling for most readers, but then this arrived.

Great and accurate in many intimate details. Could be an instruction book for new ventures into threesome sex.

My smile came back!

 

[windar]

On another site, regarding an early story that my long-time co-author and I wrote, someone said: "One of the best books I have ever read". I told my co-author, "This guy must not read much!"

But seriously, I have received a great many comments that have made my week or even my month, not just my day. Makes the work worthwhile...

 

[desecration]

Comments: I love them all.

People have said some lovely things, and some harsh ones. Some of the harsh ones are more or less correct. That's useful too. Some of the people saying lovely things have also gently inserted some critique, and that has often been more useful, mainly because I know it's not drive-by anger for something that was or was not in the themes.

True, not all comments are equal, but that's par for the course. If people tried to read it and liked it, that's great. My goal here is to gain readers and have them enjoy my stories, mainly because I think underground publishing like this is going to take off big as the mainstream publishers drift farther away from anything people want to read, except the classic genres like mystery, romance, action, etc.

Some have shocked me with what they found in my stories. A political debate broke out over a story that I at least thought was apolitical. The next one will address that, if I did it halfway right and it gets approved.

Some of the hateful anonymous comments have been so hilarious that they were taken to heart. Some were just people getting in their middle finger, and that's part of writing too. You aren't doing anything worthwhile until you make at least one person tell you to kill yourself.

I wrote one frankly political story back in 2017 about a dystopian "Great America" (not on this site). It followed a dissident professor through her "re-education". The blurb made it crystal clear what the story was about. Yet one reviewer gave it 1-star and said how shocked he was to find "political crap that I get enough of on the news!" Another reviewer gave it 5 stars and said: "I found this book a very interesting mix of political satire and eroticism. I have read three books by this author, and found all three to be titillating. Highly recommended."

I suppose if people are interested, I could post it here, though it will come off as dated and irrelevant at this point. Or you could PM me and I can give you a link...

My most recent, "I Posted An Ad" -- my "Mrs. Robinson-type" story has my typical hot sex cold opening and then chapter one begins wit my protagonist posting an ad online. Here is the ad in the story:

"I’m a teacher, now fully vaccinated so I feel safe to explore.

I haven’t had sex with someone else since March 11, 2020 when the world stopped. I want to be with others. Laugh, eat, drink, touch and have sex.

How about you?

I’m early 30s and looking for a single girl who is also vaccinated and as lonely and horny as me. I am 6’-0,” 175lbs., fit, the girls say I’m decent looking – my picture is here – I try to be a nice guy, and the pandemic has made me scared to do this, but I am trying to put my toe in the water again.

Are you?

I am drug and disease-free. I have my vaccinated card. Please be the same."

The annon comment I received today was: "Pretty good story until the vaccine card signally your values. They are useless and there is no reason for the jab."

Sheesh. It is a story not a public health or political statement. Readers continue to have the habit of not separating a character from the writer. I really don't think Ian Flemming could do the fighting and stunts that James Bond does. I mean, really??!!

Well, you could look at is a complement to have Aaron Rodgers commenting on your story!

I just got two comments today, for my story "Shaving My Mom."

OK. Think about it. Think about the title. If there's any story the title of which provides truth in advertising, this is the one.

I got these two comments from Anonymous:

"He SHAVED his mother's pussy. A shaved pussy is a turn off. So is a "landing strip. What is going to land on it? Mosquitoes? Flies?
WHAT HE HELL IS THIS DOING IN THE HAIRY PUSSY CATAGORY??????"

And . . .

"I quit reading when they decided he would shave her."

My reactions:

1. I wasn't aware there was such a thing as a "Hairy Pussy" category. Let alone a "catagory." I wonder if Anonymous is accessing my story from a parallel universe. You know, where Spock has a beard, and Uhura looks hot in that crop top.

2. If a shaved pussy is a turn-off for you, why would you even open a story called "Shaving My Mom"? I'm puzzled.

Clearly they were hoping for an armpit story...

If I may ask a question: I've posted a couple of responses to comments (favorable) on my story and find that they don't appear until they are moderated. So if they are moderated, why are insulting comments allowed through?

Some of my favorites:

"Finger fucked myself while reading this and i can’t believe how wet it make me! I managed to not get off so I can read it again while I lick my fingers. Fucking amazing story!"
and
"This story was a wild ride. In all manners of ways. Absolutely bonkers in the best way yet somehow just barely believable. Well written and very entertaining. Great work!"
both on "A Fuck-Bike for Wendy"
(https://literotica.com/s/a-fuck-bike-for-wendy)
It makes my day when I know someone out there has a good time because of my naughty fantasies.

"Very inventive story telling! Eager to read the remaining chapters. My breasts are bound now as I read the tale of their "global" predicament and misery!"
and
"Omg. What a nice story, I wish someone would use my tits as stress relievers." both for an ealier chapter of "Jumping Melons" (https://literotica.com/s/jumping-melons-bus-co-ch-01)

And a short but quite motivating
"You are utterly insane. Write moar… I'm still laughing." (this was on the final chapter of "To Save Mankind" (https://literotica.com/s/to-save-mankind-ch-00-01)

 

[Omenainen]

Very nice, so well crafted — drawn into the erotic moment between two real characters. Poignantly tender and, yes, probably sad but not entirely without hope. Probably feel different the second time read and upon the third, yet a different feeling.

I thought this one was very nice. Especially “real characters” when I didn’t think I did much to establish the characters. Apparently I did enough.

 

[WatchingCloud]

As an author, you're good at a lot of things, but if there's any one thing you excel at, it's believable dialogue. I've read stories with a similar "theme" on this site and the characters feel like they're reciting some sort of script. Your stories feel much more natural, allowing us to feel more attached to the characters, the same way I felt attached to Eve in "Seven Nights A'Dippin'." Fantastic work.

This was to my holiday contest entry. A week earlier, I received email from an aspiring author asking how I did dialogue so well. Both really made my day, as I prioritize quality dialogue in my writing. Poor or clunky dialogue is almost always the first red flag in stories that don't work for me.
