Has This Happened To You?

[Bodington]

Firstly I want to point out what my routine is when one of my submissions is published on Literotica. Usually, the event occurs around 02:00 AM my local time (US Eastern time daylight or standard as the case may be). I unashamedly vote 5 for the story on the theory that if I don’t like the story how can I expect others to like my story. Anyway, when I wake up, I usually see some 30 to 50 readers have read it and invariably one of them voted a five as well.

My stories are mostly novels and as a result I don’t attract many readers with even less voting and almost no comments. In the current novel, which is not yet finished and the previous novel, I have submitted my chapters in piecemeal as opposed to submitting the entire novel at once.

Now in my previous novel which ended up with thirty chapters, the plot of the first chapter saw my titled MFC suffer a miscarriage and in addition was informed by the attending doctor at the hospital that she had become infertile as well. Rather than going home to console with her husband as it was a 45 minute to one hour drive, she opted to get a hotel room and drink at a nearby bar to drown her sorrows. At the bar she accepts two drinking companions and ends up participating in a MMF threeway sex session.

Now one reader commented in expressing outrage at this occasion of adultery and decried that the character was a slut and a whore. For that alone he proclaimed he was giving the story a one vote. And ever since then the remaining 29 chapters of that novel plus the forty chapters of my current novel follow the pattern of two five votes and then a one vote follows. Today I submitted the 41st chapter and sure enough I received a one vote after the first three votes were all fives.

This was even more remarkable considering before today’s submission I had only submitted one chapter in May and only two chapters in January during this calendar year. I suspect it must be the doing of that solitary reader who did comment using his Lit name. If it is him I would have thought he must be one of my followers in order to get notification of my submissions in time to render his one vote within twelve hours of publication. But no I’m not listed as a favorite. So if it is him he must check submissions under the novels and novellas category every day. I have to think it must be him because I can’t imagine the such consistent voting pattern.

I admit it is annoying as all hell but then our world is a strange place indeed.

There are trolls who go through the new list early in the day and gift us their unhappiness. Some of them appear to be personal, some are equal opportunity assholes.

That one story in Loving Wives is probably the culprit. Once you "offend" the restless natives there, they go after everything in your catalog — especially if it contains infidelity.

Yep. I had one story in loving wives, oh, about three years ago. Deleted two years ago (external circumstances). They will "follower" you... and in my case there are at least two still attacking everything I post regardless of category.

I kinda think that there are some people who just down vote a story if it has a perfect score as well, just because. That is not to say the circumstances above did not/ do not happen, I'm sure they do. One thing I've learned here, do not underestimate the bitterness, vindictiveness, and just pain meanness of some Lit readers.
