going from being a lurker to a writer

[SebastianHolt]

Hello, everyone! Well, I think it’s time for me to grow some balls and publish my first story. However, I have a couple of questions. It appears that readers love to hate ‘Loving Wife’ stories, so I’m curious if that means this group will knock any story with an MMF / MFM theme?

(This thread should probably go in the Authors' Hangout forum, and there's a good chance a mod will just move it for you, FYI)

Loving Wives is specifically about cheating, infidelity, and cuckholding. If those are themes that your story is going to explore, that's the right place for it, and stories there tend to get a lot of engagement... they just won't all be positive engagement, and it's difficult to get a high story rating in that category

A consensual threesome should probably go in the Group Sex category, which is reasonably popular and far more welcoming than LW!

If there's a lot of MM action in your story, you might get a handful of phobic comments from guys who don't like it when the balls touch or whatever

You should approach it with an attitude of "let's just see how mad they get."

It is very, very hard to please any kind of majority of LW readers, because they like, and hate, different things.

The ones who like some stuff hate other stuff, and the ones who like the other stuff hate the first stuff.

I'm not saying "troll them," but maybe just let go of needing approval.

A threesome in LW is, in a vacuum, not a death knell. (Well… Depends how you define death knell).

Will it score lower? Perhaps. Also depends on what you do with the threesome, and what kind of story it revolves around.

Will it get read more in LW? Most definitely. That’d be a good plus for building a following.

I’d say publish but set some low expectations. Then be pleasantly surprised by the outcome. It usually is never as bad as it seems. Best of luck, Sebastian.

Group might work well for this story. A much more friendly crowd

You will get a friendlier reaction, but a much lower response rate from GS. And not nearly the number of views you would in LW. If you think criticism might be hard on your first story, I would stay away from LW initially.

Maybe EC too.


Or Mature if they happen to be older.

Loving Wife

I can assure you that your balls are already big enough if you’re even considering posting anything there.
