Feedback Stories

[LadyJane]

Since all my stories thus far have been BDSM (I'm working on a romance - really!), I get some weird requests or suggestions for future chapters of the stories. Sometimes I don't have the slightest idea what they're referring to. I got a feedback asking me if I would write a story about "riding the wild pony" or if I had ever experienced it myself. I thought, hmmm...what is this? Riding one of those mechanical bulls buck nekkid? So I had my husband find it on the internet for me. There was a site that described it and had a little video clip - we both just looked at each other and I went "ewwwww."

My favorite feedback is from women who tell me my stories are like romantic fairytales. That's what I aim for.

After a year and a half of posting at Lit, I finally received an email from mr. Anonymous saying of one of my poems (Möbius Strip):

it fucking sucks

I feel like my job here is finally complete.

Well, that's just the thing. As a reader, I don't assume the writer likes to do the stuff described in the story, or that he/she would even want to do it in real life. But I don't think I'm typical in that regard.

I think you misunderstood me, when I said, "I get a few lewd comments, but most of them say "I wish you were my wife." Which is fine, because if they really knew me, they'd soon change their minds." I was actually saying that with my tongue firmly wedged in my cheek. The stories that kind of feedback attracts are actually those which I draw upon personal experience to write. The main character in those stories isn't a lot different from me, and they are written in the first person. But, what you say is true, most fiction is just that: fiction, and readers shouldn't presume otherwise.

I'm not saying those are true stories, because they aren't, but they do have a basis in reality. I can't say I drew upon personal experience to write my Halloween story, though.

Well, since you asked............

I once saved all the ... memorable feedsback in a file, but it got too cumbersome. Here's one I got today that is fairly representative of the sort of thing I get and the type of reader I attract:

Lou,
That's the real problem with feedback. The readers believe that since you write something and post it on Lit the story is either completely true or based on something that you, as author, has done in the past (or regularly).

It never seems to enter their minds that is is FICTION. We make it up. I have received so many feedbacks from guys who "want to meet" me to experience some of the sexual escapades of my characters.

I'm confused. Do they think that by writing and posting a story we are soliciting sex from them?

In your case Jen I don't think they are thinking so much as hoping and praying!

I think you should take some of it as a compliment. If you write it well enough that a reader assumes you have experience then your descriptions must have been spot on. The assumption that you have experienced it may be linked to the way in which you can relate it.

While you are puzzeling through the nature of feedback, here is an enigma for you. I wite only F/F works, yet get a lot of feedback from guys describing themselves and wondering if I would like to meet them.

Re: Well, since you asked............

Maths, that's a keeper. I love the Babby Wips and 'stradel'ing the air (makes me think of a lewd ballet).

My only query to Anon. would be "ready for what in 3-5 mins.?" If sex, then does she suffer from afternoon shadow?

no answers needed, Perdita

Oddly enough, colly, I write whatever whim comes to me. I never do incest or demons but Sci-Fi, F/F, comedy... whatever.

I'll just never understand the mind of the reader at all.

The most feedback I ever got was the F/F story "Little Adventure with Kelly". I got hate mail from the lesbians and hate mail from the guys. It was wonderful

 

[mtnman2003]

limited feedback.....

I really enjoyed writing the stories I have submitted.

And being a newbie to the process, actually enjoy the review of number of bodies reading the stories, and actual votes.

As the author, I am puzzled about how the reader takes it, cuz more of one story than another. And I thought the other was better. My opinion gets lost.......

So when feedback comes, it is appreciated. Always anon. I think the most applicable was one that asked for more players in my threesome adventure.

"How about putting in a sister, mother, or aunt?". After that was a description of how good the story was from their perspective.

Another thought, I would ask even anon FB to give your sex in the note. It would be helpful to see if a female ever reads my material.

I continue to "relish" the feedback! And MG, I would love to have an offer to let them sit on my face. Given my age, probably dita and I will have to get together...... and read about what we should do........lol

intriguing feedback

I have had some fantastic feedback for the one serious story I have written so far. But the following feedback really intrigued me.
It was not anonymous but for obvious reasons I have removed the name of the sender. It is quoted verbatim.

I've been wanting to email you for a long time. It seem it was about 8 months ago that I read "A Modern Love Story". The further along I got the more disturbed, angry & sad I got. The ending was heart wrenching.However I could not stop rading to the very end. You are a master story teller. I gave you a 5 for that. I don't lie just wall to wall sex but I like a good story where sex is a natural part of it. There are stories I like that I've read several times because they're good stories. I however could not go through the emotional roller coaster of rereading that story. It's to your credit that your story touched me like no other Of the hundreds I've read both sexual and non sexual on the web. I feel sorry that Carl didn't recieve some retribution, I feel sorry that Kelly's humiliation didn't recieve some closure & I feel especially sorry for Ben the hhe felt so inadequite as a man that even at the last he viewed over & over again his wife being humillated in that porno tape!
I started reading this at work but stayed late that day to see how the story might end. I've never done that before. I can't say I liked your story in fact I have so many emotions about it I don't know what to think. It certainly made for fascinating reading and a welcome change frome most of the other sex stories at this site. The Sandman is another one who does a good story but of all of the yours is the one that sticks in my my mind over all the others. To say the least I had some trouble even driving home that night because I couldn't get the characters in your story out of my mind. I like escape from reality when I see a movie or read a book. I like happy endings so I don't know what kept me so entranced by your story.
So ther it is. I don't know know if you consider it praise or criticism however it was the most moving story I'v read in many years.

My stories

 

[eroslit]

If you haven't already tried this one, post some stories as a 53 year old married man...and some as a 23 year old babe (with appropriate pic in your profile). Then sit back and see which stories get higher ratings, more views and better feedback. Just a thought.

After a year and a half of posting at Lit, I finally received an email from mr. Anonymous saying of one of my poems (Möbius Strip):

it fucking sucks

I feel like my job here is finally complete.

Dear Lauren,
well, In my opinion, YOU have never written anything that sucks...maybe Mr Cro_Mag ( I wouldnt Dare insult a Neanderthal that way) anonymous just didnt know what a Mobius Strip was... in fact, I am not alone in saying that it is one of your best and one of my favorite poems here on LIt, along with your Still Born Soldiers..you're so fucking smart, I wish I were your twin... maria

 

[DarlingNikki]

Dang, I have never gotten one marriage proposal! I did have a guy send me a photo once after I replied to his first feedback. He looked like a respectible enough guy, but I couldn't think of what to say in reply.

My weirdest feedback was from someone who pretended he was one of my characters. Something about "thanks for writing the story about the time we went to the bar, now can you write about that time I came to see you at the office after hours and we had sex on the desk." It freaked me out at first because that character is based on a real person and the story is based (partly... the boring part) on a real event and for a minute I was scared he had found my stories.

I got an anonymous feedback yesterday from someone describing how he used to like big breasts and now likes small, firm ones and how he imagines what he'd do to mine. He didn't mention any of my stories, so I really wouldn't have known what to say to him if he had included a return address...

Thank you, Maria. That's very sweet of you.

Another good feedback message I got recently, although not anonymous, said:

I'm not much for poetry but this one wasn't bad. Actually it was pretty good. And it rhymed more or less.

This was about A Silent Whisper, One Night, which is a technically spotless Petrarchan Sonnet with an air-tight ABBA ABBA CDC EED rhyme scheme. So yeah, it sort of did rhyme...

Erm, Lauren, love, that reads like such a turn-on. I want one. Now.

The much improved revised version in iambic pentameter at my site is ABBA ABBA CCD EED.

Very, very true. I suspect it's only the babe's (or apparent babes) that get the invites to Las Vegas.

 

[harding]

Oh yeah

I forgot to mention (apart from would someone please shoot this Italian guy!) - has anyone every noticed that the really weird, creep kind of feedback (and yes, guys do get that too, but not as much as the girls, I'm sure) is always spelled badly, and quite often uses a lot of CAPS IF NOT ALL CAPS!

(too many brackets maybe?)

 

[MatthewJudeBrown]

I think it's scientifically proven that it's harder to type with one hand. And easier to hit caps lock by mistake.

 

[oggbashan]

This is another resurrected ancient thread with names I miss.

Life after death seems possible with the internet.

[Bebeslut]

maybe this is odd, or not, but I have a couple of stories for ya...
I have received a half dozen marriage proposals, and no, they werent anonymous, and I never accepted.
I have been offered stuff ranging from trips to Greece and Las Vegas to cash and underwear ( usually with the request to wear them and send them back).
I think I am a little freaked out and flattered that some of my readers trust me so much, but I never accept anything and I try to never lead anyone on.

I have one anonymous person who sends FB and it is always a poem about me; sometimes erotic, some I dont understand at all, but the attention is cool even if the person might have stalker tendencies <WEG>

hope you get a lot of response here, I would like to read other peoples stories too
maria

Damn! All I ever get is PMs to cyber.

 

[Bebeslut]

Damn! It seems like everyone on here gets interesting feedback. All I get is guys wanting to be face sittees.
MG

Maybe you should change your handle from "MathGirl," then! LOL!
