Comments That Make Your Day

"Please finish this story. What you have written so far is terrific. I live on this kind of stuff."

I got this in my mail anonymously on my first chapter of my first ever work. Needless to say, I've been writing non-stop after that.

Just got a lovely one on Interview. Haven’t checked a mirror but I think the praise is making me blush:

“Been reading Lit since at least 2003 and this story is one of the best I've read on this site.
The emotion is raw and real, the dialogue is great and even the ending is poignant with the protagonist choosing the more difficult path.
I would give it a thousand stars and pin it to the first page of the toplists he I could.
Bravo”

Reading this comment was a nice way to start to my day. For 'About That Kiss'

Such a delightful romp with enjoyable characters, plot, and pacing. I love the romance--keep writing, please! 5*

I've only received one comment on my Amorous Goods: The Anklet Pair, but it was at least positive. I didn't post this story to Loving Wives, since this involves magic. So, I posted it to 'SciFi & Fantasy'.

"Fun And Entertaining Adventure 5 Stars' This was a well written and entertaining story with great characters and a enjoyable overall spin to consenting adults and their trusts and beliefs. Love it. Thanks for writing and sharing it. Cheers"


Of course, this didn't stop four trolls from 1-bombing it on the first day.

Just got this feedback from one of my beta readers on a new story that I'll be publishing this week. This was nice to wake up to this morning.

God damn.

You are so good. Ugh, such good writing. So visceral, filled with emotion, cutting to the heart of the human condition, scooping out the insides and throwing them around in a pile, you step back and say "here, this is what we are."

I love it.

On my contest entry Spiritual Crisis :

"Thank you for this wonderful story. You blended loneliness with the growth of true love. This is a story that reflects the good aspects of Halloween. You have given those who read your story a gift. K"

Honestly, comments like that are why I do this. Such a good feeling.

Comment on Ep. 06 of my Rescuing a Snow Angel series:

Anonymous1 day ago
YOUR CREATIVITY IS EXCELLENT ! Setting up a number of possibilities, addressing them, then pulling it all together. This series created a number of questions / introspection which was and is good.

THANK YOU !

Another nice anon comment on Homeless. It even taught me a new word!

Second time through because I wanted to. I was right the first time: AWESOME! A light touch on the internal monologue keeps the smile, and even a chuckle betimes. Further, as the doting father of a daughter, I am qualified to assert that you got it all right, even the green throughput image!
Now on into the rest of your oeuvre. (Oeuvre refers to a body of work. I'd never heard it before. Thanks Anon!)

Is it a bad thing that I like the negative comments the best? Especially those who reference the story‘s ending and quote from it.

really? You hated it but read and memorized the whole story?

It's so much fun when you get a "I hate it" comment on both chapter one, and chapter twenty one, from the same person, on the same day.

Occasionally something from a negative comment is actually relevant.

Mostly, though, I just savour the salty, delicious tears.

I’ve had, in 7 years, two constructive criticisms. One, my sentences were too short and choppy, two, when to use written numbers verses numerals.

what I love is the guys complaining about my story who write paragraphs outlining how they think the story should have gone or should proceed. With all that effort, why don’t you write your own story. I’ll even let you steal my characters and plot.

I've had some psycho yell at me about how I got the plot wrong in a story, obviously didn't know my characters, and he could do a better job.

So he took my story and rewrote it to suit his ending and showed it to me.

All seventeen chapters of it.

His spelling was terrible, his grammar frightening, and all he did was make the women much more subservient to their men and instruct them about how to live their lives. The main female character was even a virgin again, despite being a libertine in my story.

To quote the Doors, people are strange.

A nice comment on April Fool - No Longer

LOL better than 5 stars

 

[shakna]

A delightful story with lots of hidden depth and plenty of subtle twists in the relationship between the two girls, mixed in with some ultra-hot sex.

On what might be one of my least-deep stories, Hannah's Night. Which was a ton of fun to write.

These hidden depths and subtle twists may be subconscious in your writing or perhaps more in his own mind than yours. Readers can read things into the story which weren't intended by the writer. This can be triggered by the nature of a personal experience from your words.

That can be true, but I'll proudly carry the depth banner. Even in something like the before, I try to make the characters be actual characters. Hinting at the past, but not fully showing it, etc. This was more of "absolute win" than "confusion".

Two new comments on part 4 and part 5 of my so far only story ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE. It makes me feel pretty pleased, I have to say.

On part 4
“Well done, Emily....you're storyline is quite entertaining and clever!”

And on part 5
“In total awe and admiration of your talent, Emilymcplugger!! You are clever and crafty and hooked me...well-done, Miss!!!”

 

[gordo12]

Got an absolutely babbling nonsensical comment on "Homeless." Nothing more than a delete.

Got a nice comment on "One Night In Dodge" which was written for the "One Night" event.

I like your westerns

 

[shakna]

I love this series. Fun concepts and characters. Five stars!

I wouldn't usually post another, so close to my previous... But this is my first comment for a new chapter on a tale of mine that attracts a fair amount of hating private messages. So... Squee!

 

[gordo12]

Two nice comments this morning:

Homeless:

Excellent my good sir

Fido:

WOW! Fucking A Great!! G12 you have a VERY interesting mind. I have read most of your stories and like those that I have already read but THIS story takes home the Power Ball win! Keep it up, I look forward to many more of your writing scribbles.

 

[gordo12]

Nice email feedback just came in:

I really enjoy you musings and stories. I like the fact that there’s more plot than sex. I read “Gunslinger” and just finished “Homeless”. Ain’t got a whole lot going on this weekend so I’m going to see what else you have to offer. Thanks for writing.

 

[Emilymcplugger]

More great feedback on ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE. I don’t know what I did to deserve this over the last few days, but I’m glad I did it.

“Looking forward to whatever you take on next from Spector's story bank!!!”
