This has to be the most depressing compliment I've received in a long time:

Feedback:
Greetings, as a loyal fan of your erotic writing abilities, i should tell u that
even though "Meer Kass" got a "Editors choice" and "Hot" award i think u should
write another one wth more detail on the sex they had. (Just a Suggestion)But
remember more sex in the story before my balls turn blue


Honestly, it's done more than a dozen troll-bombs and outright insults to make me query my abilities. Not that poster didn't like "Meer Kass," but that I've evidently written something s/he quite admired. Please tell me it's one of the ones I personally don't value much ... please.

(On the plus side, the SO's response was to comment obliquely, "Carson plays some merry japes, doesn't he?" At my nonplussed reponse, SO adds, "Isn't he your most loyal fan?" Ha. I had to pick the comedian to live with.)

You've received the classic "i got an idea what if another guy came in and fucked her hard up the ass while she suked of the police man" feedback. It's what I live for.

Joke's on yer SO. I know how to punctuate.
 
Don't be too hard on your SO. How many people could just toss off the phrase "merry japes" in a conversation?

I tried that, V. All I got was:

"press ONE.. if you want to hear Vella comment on your story...
press TWO.. if you want Vella to sing Akey Braky heart....
press the star key any time to hear these options again..."

Then I heard some Michael Bolton song for the next twenty minurtes.

so, i gave you the number for commiseration instead of masterbation and all things inbetween.
its only one digit press off.
so, did you like my rendition of achy breaky? now that ive experienced texas life, i do a fair southern accent.

LOL,

You will get these from time to time Shang. Someone who loves your work or style, but wants you to write what they would if they had your ability.

Undoubtedly. It's moments like that that I love the SO for most. Wonderful, wry wit on that one.

(Which reminds me obscurely - we just watched the Reduced Shakespeare Company's DVD the other night. I recommend it to anyone. Extremely funny, and we're still wandering about the house announcing "I am Omelet, the Cheese Danish!")

I think I'll have to buy that, simply for that line alone. :D

It's definitely worth it. One also gets to see all of the historical plays done as an American football match with sportscaster comentary, including a 15-yard penalty on King Lear for "fictional character on the field."

It's funny that you posted all of this together, the suggestive feedback and the mentioning of Carson as your biggest fan. When I read it, I thought "Wow! This is good. But it would be so much better if it were a horse and a gay man..."

:D

Some day, I will write it ... my magnum opus. For now, I'm still in the "research" phase ;)

Blessings on you.

I hope you don't mind me asking this, but is that AV you? It reminds me in the most unsettling way of someone I used to know.
