Funniest Negative Comments?

[Zootonius]

On that same college professor. She describes herself as not wanting to settle down with one lover. A commenter wonder why, I guess wanted me to psychoanalyze her.

Then thinking about it, because she's a woman? If the character was a man, no one would wonder why he wanted to play the field and not be monogamist. There are still gender stereotypes about.

What infuriated me though and led me to stop writing was the anonymous bashing. I can handle constructive criticism and I can even handle bashing so long as you put your name on it so that I can read your stories to see what an apparently "great" writer can spin together. But the anonymous insulting feedback made me stop submitting articles.
I'm that type who hates losing more than I enjoy winning, so even though my submissions had great vote scores, comments like "Thank goodness you stopped writing this unbelievably bad crap" at the conclusion of a 4-part series (why did they apparently read through all the previous three chapters if the whole thing is so bad?) was too much for me to handle.

But the safe sex comment was the funniest and most memorable because of how bizarre it was.

You can disallow anonymous comments. The last part reminds me of the restaurant joke.

The food is lousy and the portions are too small!

I didn't want to do that as I figured many readers wouldn't have profiles and constructive criticism was welcomed by me. And to be clear the reviews were overwhelmingly glowing with my average scores being around 4.3-4.5 out of 5, but I guess I underestimated how many people could just be assholes because they evidently have nothing better going on.

A professional troll named Overcritical just attacked my latest story and dropped a 2 on it (Probably several twos) because (get this)

The FMC was too short.

Here's a quick list of everything Overcritical has ever written:

1.

You can't win with all readers on the condom/no-condom thing. You'll get complaints either way. Raise the issue of condoms, or any kind of precaution or protection, and some will say they don't belong in an erotic story.

I reference condoms all the time. Using or not using them.

It was a plot point in Heaven & Hole where excess semen would make one FMC “go nuclear”.

The other FMC - in a different story of the series uses Jedi demon mind tricks to stop her Joe from worrying about wearing a condom.

Of course, as A Hard Day’s Night follows a sex worker on her shift, condoms are referenced throughout.

I also refer to people having taken STD tests prior to intercourse in a number of places.

Of course, in pure fantasy pieces, no protagonist even knows what a condom is.

In my case, an editor suggested I always mention birth control in my stories. I’ve never had anyone raise the issue either way other than her. But it made sense for me as a smart writer interested in promoting safer sex.

I never do. This is fantasy. And only one reader called me out on it and it's pretty hilarious.

Diana is a little over forty years old! She's still fertile! Why is there no mention of contraception? I am infuriated by such a superficial approach, inattentive to details and disregard for such important, fundamental moments that can change the course of the narrative. For example, the author forgot to mention the prevention of fertilization and Diana, about the author's connivance, without thinking about it, got pregnant. Unknown - from her husband or from Henry? What then? That's how, by an oversight of the author, the life and relationships between the characters, therefore, the whole general plot of this story could radically change. It's a good thing that didn't happen. But next time, please be more careful. Ignoring this kind of thing can lead to the fact that your adored and once obedient characters can get out of control, live their own lives and mock your powerlessness to change anything in their now completely unpredictable fate. Believe me, it hurts, it really hurts...

I remember reading it in high school, and my high school English teacher said the same thing about the pronunciation. But I hear Ga-WAIN used much more often.

He's been busy today and my story was such an affront to him that he even called out lit for posting it

Is this actually someone's idea of ROMANCE? What a gruesome story. And completely unbelievable. Page after page of pain and personal horror. I know because I spent 11 months with someone who went through much of it before slipping away. Miracles don't happen and the pain is beyond belief. It does not belong in any category in Literotica and the author should be boiled in oil for writing it and Literotica should be whipped for publishing it. 1*

FWIW that story won first place in a monthly and the score sits around 4.87

FWIW part 2. It was obvious from the start of the story what it was about so if he really experienced what he claims, why would he read it?

Makes you wonder.

Funniest Negative Comments?​

I was thinking. Shocking I know .

I seldom, if ever, get negative comments, outside of the category that shall not be named. I’ve had a handful over the year and a bit I’ve been writing. But most people who take the time to say something, say something nice. Even in Mordor (yes @NoTalentHack i read [most of] your essay) many denizens are quite nice orcs. The cute and cuddly kind.

I've often wondered if the account is an alt of an author -or someone who ghosts this forum-and the review is based on how he feels about the author rather than the story

He's gone after me a few times. Once he gave me a 2 for having a ghost in a Halloween story, that he did not approve of. He's articulate, and he's great at picking things apart. But here on Lit, he's never a written a thing.

He's also supposed to be around 90 years old, yet he's still flinging out nasty comments fairly regularly.

The good thing about LW is that 'w' is a vowel for some people, and since it's pronounced basically like 'oo' one can honestly say that category is Literotica's Loo.

He must LOVE my short woman, he said he gave me 2*

I think it was troll day today, because the score of my story got severely trounced.

He bashed my story, 'The Old House on Drury Lane,' that was in the running for a reader's choice award and scored 4.86. It was long story, too. He's dumped on several of my stories. And I always wonder why he would take the time to read something that he's obviously not enjoying. Just move on already, and do something else.

This story is based on two absolutely ridiculous concepts. One that you could feasibly have two strangers buy a house together. I'm not sure a bank would even offer a mortgage on that basis ( I know these two paid cash, but that's very unusual - it's not even good business sense). The second is the ghost in the house. I know that an author can write any kind of drivel to his/her heart's content, but I have the right to rate it 2* if I like. And I did.

Not one comment but several and in succession. I suspected an aspect of my Halloween story was not going to sit well with the man babies(no cheating, just oh no the woman had sex with others and the guy(18) was a virgin) anyway, all in a row, all anon and all using the expression "This author" and various comments about "his style" and all whining that-to them-the male MC suffered terribly...so terribly he ends up in a threesome with his sister and mother near the end...I mean how bad does it get?

I think the thing that makes me shake my head the most is the kid is 18...its not unheard of to not have sex before then...they make it sound like he's sixty and lived his entire life without sex.

The type who thinks men should bang whoever they want, but its the woman who should be chaste.

I do wonder if its different people or one dipstick leaving all the comments

Also have the feeling it's someone from here.

I got a feeling you're right. I can just see him shaking his fist at the kids and yelling nasty things at them. I think he's the neighborhood curmudgeon on Lit, too.

He's been commenting on my stuff for a few years. At least I know I'm not the only he goes after. So, welcome to the club!

These comments aren't from him, they're from the 'I wish it was still 1950" class of "men" here.

He must really hate me then, because he goes after me a lot. And usually goes after stories that other readers like. He's probably down right gleeful, now that we're all talking about him, too.

 

[NoTalentHack]

Not a specific comment, but a class of comments on a pair of stories I have. The first is “At the End of the Tour,” where the MMC finds out that his wife has had an ongoing but sporadic affair with her ex-boyfriend, a touring musician, for almost the entire length of their relationship. He reacts… poorly, verbally laying into the wife and breaking the other man’s hand after he lays hands on the MMC. The guys that love BTBs loved it, to the point where they almost demanded a sequel that went into what happened after that.

So I gave it to them.

The sequel, “Funeral Dirge for a Fairytale,” is told from the FMC’s POV decades in the future, after the pair have reconciled, telling her story of how she got to the point where her actions seemed even halfway same and forgivable, and everything that led to them having a long, loving relationship afterwards.

The reaction was… mixed.

A lot of people loved it, and it got noted in another writer’s essay as a rare case of successfully turning a BTB into an earned reconciliation. But I also got (and still get) a lot of comments on the first one reading, “this was awesome,” followed a few hours or days later with, “why did you ruin that story, you asshole?” on the second. I grin at every single one.

If he's looking for a forum to pump himself up and make himself look wiser than he really is, he won't find it on my stories. We have the power to moderate comments on our stories and I have no problem using it, especially for someone who freaks out over the expression "Uff da" He's gone... and come the sweeps he'll be completely gone.
