Comments That Make Your Day

One of these things is not like the other.....

Keeps me humble.

This was a nice way to start the day:

SequoiaSempervirens commenting on 'Sweet Summer Nights' - https://www.literotica.com/s/sweet-summer-nights-1

'This is the fifth time I've read this story. Very enjoyable! Wish I could vote again and give it another 5*'

Nice comment on April Fool No Longer

Jut absolutely great!

 

[shakna]

You are incredible! A literary genius!

I can't really agree with it, and it was on a story I described as "not my best work", but it's always nice to get something like this.

Another nice comment this morning on FIDO!

So funny. Thanks

 

[gordo12]

Another excellent comment on FIDO this morning, although I'm ashamed to say the references to other material escape me.

5*
Rufus is now on my list of favorite fictional dogs in humorous stories. He's up there with Henry from 'Adventures in Loving a Canine Catastrophe,' and Montmorency from 'Three Men in a Boat.'

Another excellent comment on FIDO this morning, although I'm ashamed to say the references to other material escape me.

I believe the Three Men in a Boat reference is to the 1956 British comedy film. (Pretty sure the dog isn't the same in the 1890s book its adapted from).

Comments for 'Well met by moonlight' that made me feel I wasn't just writing hack nonsense just to fill up space

Really good
A really good story told from a number of angles and all of them damn good.
The story has a beginning and an end.
Well done, more stories from you would be a pleasure to read.

Played havoc!
Wow, this story played havoc with my emotions. Very nicely done.

I've read two of your supernatural stories (this one and Hallowmas), both are simply brilliant.

:'(
I'm not crying...I'm not...I...dammit!

I believe the Three Men in a Boat reference is to the 1956 British comedy film. (Pretty sure the dog isn't the same in the 1890s book its adapted from).

It could be, although there were film adaptations in 1933 & 1920. I'd heard of the title but never read the 1889 book or watched the film. I had no idea there was a dog involved with it.

Of interest though are the book reviews at the time: The attitudes would get a newspaper shut down today. (From Wikipedia)

"

The Standard spoke of me as a menace to English letters; and The Morning Post as an example of the sad results to be expected from the over-education of the lower orders.

The reception by critics varied between lukewarm and hostile. The use of slang was condemned as "vulgar" and the book was derided as written to appeal to "'Arrys and 'Arriets" – then common sneering terms for working-class Londoners who dropped their Hs when speaking.

The other reference is a 2014 book "Surviving Henry: Adventures in Loving a Canine Catastrophe." I haven't read the book but from the description, it sounds like Henry and Rufus share a common problem in communicating with humans.

When you keep reading the same sort of compliment on one of your stories, as I did for the second part of "A Long Journey to my Brother", you know you've reached people in a good way. For example:

"This is not the type of story that I would normally read, but your eloquent storytelling drew me in. I am very glad that I stayed with it to the end."

Several people made similar remarks, and it was very heartwarming to know that readers could enjoy my work even when it wasn't their cup of tea, so to speak. It made me feel like I was more of a writer, and that is immensely satisfying.

I love getting comments like this on my stories. The reader obviously took some time to comment, which means they really mean what they say ...

Firstly I must apologize for the belated review: I followed this story as it was originally published, but even after finally getting my account working early this year, I've struggled to articulate my reaction.
It's all too fitting you cite BrokenSpokes as your inspiration to write: you two are my go-to citation for arguing erotic fiction can go toe-to-toe with, if not surpass, "mainstream" romance novels. I'm a sucker for military themes, and I was hooked by the first paragraph; Virginia's workday is described in the sort of detail that could only come from someone in the know. I'll confess, while others may be off-put by the intricacies of Air Force R&D, despite being a total rube I was almost more engaged by -that- than the sex!
Other readers have lauded the story's heart far more eloquently than I can; instead I'll speak to the setting. As someone never threatened by the shadow of DADT, the Virginiaverse has been phenomenally educational. I cannot imagine how hard it was for the women and men forced to pursue relationships 'underground'. The white lies, the clandestine rendez-vous, never knowing if one wrong word or errant gesture might set the hounds on her—Virginia might not be a spy, but oftentimes her story reads like a thriller. Bonnie's diagnosis, and the fact that so many legal supports are denied to them at their most needful hour, underscore how -cruel- our society can be to the very people it touts as heroes.
Suffice to say, this proved an endearing first novel, and an enduring foundation to a worthy franchise. I have enjoyed all the stories that have followed, and look forward to those to come.

I've been trying to stay away from your stuff, but I didn't realize this was yours until the 4th or 5th sentence fragment in the first half page. So I decided to say hi before I hit that 1 star.

Hi.

I don't quite know why, but knowing that someone hates my writing enough to regularly vote on it, and comment on it, and check to see if I've replied to it... It really does make me grin. That's a lot more effort than some of my regular fans go to!

Another lovely comment this morning on "Hidden Boss"

Extremely well done. One commenter said that Literotica is not the place to discuss the corporate culture: these days, EVERYWHERE is the place to have this discussion. People come here to escape from the real world. Here, they read fictional accounts of real people and then complain that it is not real enough!!! Thank you very much for this effort. It is both layered and unvarnished.

One of the things I value most is comments from other authors. This one from Homeless today is especially nice.

Well, I'm really late to the game on this story, but just wanted to add my praise to the many comments. The story is emotionally moving, and that is the highest goal of most authors. The few negative comments — well, I just don't understand that kind of comment. One thing I've noticed about the author, gordo12 — he's great with subtle details in a way I envy. My congrats to the author!

 

[gordo12]

I love this comment on Fido!

My wife thought I was unwell because I was laughing hysterically....

 

[Candy_Kane54]

I love getting comments like this:

I was so excited to see that you had Judy and Bonnie meet in this story, I actually giggled like a school girl! Yet another great story and a look into the lives of your amazing characters. Thank you

 

[PeytonMirabelle]

My most recent comment showed up on my first posted story, Red Roses, yesterday:

Probably the best CNC story I’ve read.

Yes, warm fuzzies inside ....

"Writing is a craft. Authorship is an art. You rank high on both counts. For Literotica purposes you easily earn 5 stars for this piece. It is beautifully structured, with spot-on pacing and a perfectly lovely denouement. I look forward to sampling more of your work."

(From Golden Penis Syndrome) https://www.literotica.com/s/golden-penis-syndrome

Until 2019 I'd never written anything except for an occasional work-related paragraph or two and nothing in the fictional realm. I know the above is just one person's opinion (and the votes suggest his opinion is not universal) but it does make me wonder if I should have explored writing a bit sooner in my life. For now, I'm just having fun and comments like the above make it even more so.

 

[Bramblethorn]

I've had a few on Red Scarf where people recognised something of themselves in my autistic narrator and her girlfriend, the latest today:

With every chapter so far, I've been noticing similarities. In this one it was with the different lunch options on different days of the week. I realised I wear a specific pair of boots on each day of the work week. Same goes with the style of uniform shirt I wear. And i end up feeling awkward if i switch them up.

And again with the awkard small talk at the party. It's happened so often where I'd not know to say that would seem normal. Can I maybe use a little card with a list of suitable topics for interesting conversation? Or will they notice if I disappear for an hour and then slip back like it never happened?

Giving somebody that feeling of "you are not alone" makes it all worthwhile.

My 750 word story went up a couple of days ago in I/T, and the score is about what I expected based on the discussions here.

However, I received this comment. “Short and creative. I like it. 5/5 I'd say.”

That made me feel good about it.

 

[ChloeTzang]

This one....

"Skimmed the usual worthless pathetic closeted gay make cuck shit.

But hey the single digit IQ'ed mouth breathers who dream of sucking a huge cock will certainly applaud the effort you put into writing the same story for the 21,583 time on LW.

Now go find that dream date of yours and let him man handle you like the little bitch you want to be."

Snorted my coffee. This one was rather creative in its own way. I do so enjoy poking a stick into Loving Wives.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

"Great writing, different and erotic, definitely British!"

Given I'm unashamedly British and write that way, and aim to tell somewhat different yet erotic stories, I really appreciated this one, on a story I posted a few years ago.

(Gas Station Guy - the blurb goes "He's a gay virgin. She's a crap lesbian or filthy bisexual, depending on who you ask. It's late, and she's out of milk.")

 

[shakna]

I absolutely loved this story. It was sweet, erotic, and very touching. I'm actually envious of the main characters in that none of the relationships I've ever had were this good...lol

The validation of capturing at least one person's romance just right, was a pleasant surprise after so many complaints that the protagonist was "too weak" because he didn't throw temper tantrums.

 

[MyBareTorso]

I received the simple comment "a little pervy" on one of my stories. I found this very amusing for a site like Literotica...kind of like saying "A lot of superheroes" after watching Avengers: Endgame. Also, considering how wild some stories are here, mine are pretty tame by comparison, so that made it even more amusing. But maybe CFNM is a little pervy to some...

 

[ChloeTzang]

I loved this one...

"This story is a set of grand cliches, beautifully rendered - cuckolding, bulls, interracial, dom/sub, and so on- but the characters are compelling. That's what makes it work for me. "
